Ahh, weekends....

As sad as it may be, I am usually in bed by 10 every night including on the weekends. This weekend has been quite the exception though. Last night, we went to our good friends' home for a much needed visit. We didn't get home until ONE IN THE MORNING!!!! Yeesh! Then, I had to get up at 5:30 to help out at another friend's home, get home in time to drop the kids at the babysitter, attend a funeral, get back to the babysitters, get home, make dinner, bathe children and put them into bed. (oof!) Now here I am, 15 hours later, running on little to no sleep, and realizing that my weekend is pretty much gone. What happened!?!?! Oh well. It happens to all of us. :(
In lighter news, I do have the opportunity to go with my daughter on a field trip to The Desert Botanical Gardens. I've lived in Arizona my whole life (give or take a year), and I have never been. That's just plain silly. The coolest part about it though, is that Dale Chihuly has some BEAUTIFUL artwork in the gardens. I'm thrilled!!! The Botanical gardens also have "The Butterfly Pavillion" which is a giant enclosure filled with butterflies. The coolest part about it though? You get to go inside and the butterflies land all over you! Heehee! It's gonna be so fun to experience with my little girl!
Well, well, I've been very chatty this evening! Hope you enjoy what little bit is left of your weekend. I will enjoying mine!

Ciao!

Crazy days!

So I got another item up in my shop today, a pretty butterfly necklace (sighs in relief). Had another day of running around like a mad woman, BUT at least there were no CAT-astrophies (hyuck, hyuck, hyuck). Lame, I know. Oh well. I'm off to the airport to drop my mother off after a fun filled three week visit! Hope you have a super duper day!

Ta ta!

Just one of those days...

So, I got up this morning, ready to greet my busy day. I got myself and the kids ready, got us all fed, and went out the door to school. The drive was peaceful, and happy (which for my kids.... is kind of a miracle), things were going wonderfully. We got home, and the proverbial can opened. WORMS EVERYWHERE!!!! Not really, but to say things got crazy quickly is an understatement.
I dropped a jar of Alfredo sauce in the middle of my kitchen, and got to clean that up. Then my son dumped ice water on the cat, which to say the least was..... interesting (poor cat drenched and frozen. She gives him dirty looks now, but then again I probably would too). Then to top it all off, I was able to clean my bathroom, which had a few various stuffed toys shoved down the toilet.
Days like these I like to remind myself that I wanted children, and I'll laugh about all of this in a few more years. ::Deep sigh of relief::
I will eventually get around to uploading more stuff to my etsy page this afternoon.... if nothing else cataclysmic happens. Wish me luck! :)

Tootles!
