Busy Days Ahead!

Good evening great friends!

If you could see my calendar this week it would probably exhaust you.  I know I'm already exhausted and we are just mid week.  I'm working on quite a few things and they are all super exciting.  I'm just worried I'm going to screw something up.  If I would relax and not worry about perfectionism everything would be alright. Like that's going to happen?

This is my BIG Stamps in the Mail week where all the projects get prepped, cut and then mailed. Normally it's smooth as glass but Oh Kimberly changed things up a little.  We skipped May so we could enjoy the new products in June. This means double the love in June and I'm giving them two bonus projects they will make. This all boils down to BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. 

I'm also working on a slideshow for the 5th grade Promotion ceremony next week. I've cried twice looking at all these beautiful kids in the slideshow.  I added Brandon's pictures to the slideshow last and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. My baby {{Brandon}} is going to the big boy school next year.  I had sappy music playing on the slideshow to make it more emotional as parents see there little darlings and here I was bawling!  <sigh> Brandon is glad that I chose this picture and not the one of him reading a book naked as a jay bird on the potty.  I did use that against him the entire year and it worked for many issues. <smile>

I think big milestones like these make me sit back and reflect on how blessed I am that I get to raise these sweet gems.  When I'm caught up in the daily grind of life I can easily forget how fast they are growing.  Of course I can also have a day like yesterday where the kids have me on the brink of insanity and my eyes went cross eyed when Brandon decided he didn't want to listen.  Oye! If you need to release a few good tears listen to this song by Kenny Chesney, Don't Blink.

This weekend is also a big Girl Scout weekend.  On Saturday we are taking our troop to Washington DC for the big Rock the Mall event.  It's the 100 Year anniversary of Girl Scouts so it's going to be a BIG DEAL.  They are expecting 200,000 Girl Scouts.  Holy COW.  If you don't hear from me on Monday, please check on me.  I may be in the funny farm. 

I want to share a quick layout I did of my sweet mom.  Her birthday was Monday.  I sure missed giving her a birthday hug.

  1. You are right, it is exhausting just reading your schedule.  Have fun though!!  The slide show sounds lovely.  Happy belated Birthday to your Mom too.
