Hi Again :)

Yeh Yeh I know I haven't posted in like FOREVER!!! When does life ever slow down?

Been super busy here at the house and with my boys and helping Tammy when I can in the mist of all that.
Gosh I must just say this... as hurtful as it was to let the shop go myself... I seriously wonder how I managed my store and my family both... really!!!! Tonite was a reality check for me again... and WOW so happy with the decision I made.

To sum up my days event today... woke up 7am, breakfast for Issac, kids off to school, Blade out to Grandma's for the day,
run some errands, then to Tammy's until 3pm, came home checked in with the boys and then back to Tammy's for "Ladies night out" until 8pm then off to exercise class from 8-9. Jeesh what a day!!!! Felt like I was living my "old days of the store" again. Thankfully Molly was able to come help with the boys this evening, Jer is off in Califorina until Sat. Not to mention I was up the night before until like 2ish watching tv and cleaning off and on... and well my work looks like it cut out for me again tonite with cleaning since I am back to a full day again tomorrow. Its all good but jeesh stressful and hectic!!!!!!

Ok so what else is new? Hrm... I no longer have LONG hair... its SHORT! Like really short!!! maybe to my chin if I'm lucky.
What can I honestly say about hair extentions?? That I probably will NEVER do it again! It was very painful getting them out and my head still throbs from it. So yes now my hair is short, its ok but not really the look I was hoping for after "it was all said and done"... but what'a do? Life goes on.

Things with the house are progressing well. Attic is nearly completed with what Dustin needed to finish, so that is a great feeling. Then we can finally get the carpet back down where its temporary up and the black iron peices into the banister and a final coat of paint on the walls. SOON it'll be done. In the addition the beams on the ceilings were sealed and they look really nice, it made a HUGE difference. The flooring is all laid and paint will be touched up and wood work will be sealed... and within a week the floor will be getting sanded and sealed :) I can't wait!!! Then we will offically have our floors all done on the main floor and decorating and actual living can be normal again! All the rooms on the main floor should be done by the end of the month, makes Lis very happy :) What's next? well the basement is next on the agenda if we get bodies here to help us move this along, I'm hoping the whole house is complete by the end of November or early December. All materials are finalized and ordered and just ready to go with the flow of D's fancy work.

How are my men of the house? They are well! Mitchel and Issac ended their soccer season thru Dyersville last weekend.
Issac's team came in 3rd, Mitchel's team came in 4th. Makes me a little sad that this league is over since it is Mitchel's last year to play in this league. He's been playing in Dyersville since Kindergarten! WOW where did the time go?? Anyhow the soccer team was a "Cascade League" this year and it ended with a very very nice potluck and a soccer game with kids vs. parents, it was SUPER fun and I really enjoyed playing with the kids even though I hurt muscles I didn't know I had :( but it was all worth it.
Mitchel is gearing up for the last few games on his DBQ team and then Basketball will start up very soon. Issac is not riding much but its getting tons of "bike riding" in while its still nice out. Little Blade is a ham as ever and smarter than a whip... he doesn't forget anything these days!!! He is absolutely loving school and that makes me feel really good about switching him over to the 3 day program. As for Jer, he is keeping busy. He is in California this week and I believe he has travel plans again for next week... destination?? I'm not sure but I believe its Boston... I haven't seen "offical plans" yet.

Ok I blabbed enough and really should go get something productive done, my house is falling apart and well... I don't like seeing that :( I feel better when I stay on top it of it and well this week I've been on the GO GO all week so adios to all of you for now, I will blog soon... and hey even post pictures now that I got a new camera :) YEH!!!!!!!! Guess what color my camera is??????

Have a super weekend readers!!!!!!
