Good Morning everyone. I am ready for a fantastic week. All of my kids are FINALLY relatively healthy. My 10 yr old and my husband just got back from a wonderful weekend of camp at Forest Home. My 14 yr old, survived and competed decently in his first JV only wrestling tournament. He has wrestled other tournaments, but against varsity wrestlers who whipped his 6' 3" buttocks. Jack had a blast in his air soft wars game Friday night at Church. And I got in a date with William and Nick, which was a treat. I don't often get 1 on 2 time with my guys. We went to Kings for sushi, and actually had some conversation about the life of a freshman boy at El Camino. Interesting stuff. This week my Stella & Dot kit should arrive. I'll be prepping to hold my first 4-6 trunk shows, and if I am really lucky, at some point this week I'll clean this crazy house. I hope all of you have a wonderful week!
I am swirling in chaos! Our little remodeling projects, ie: painting the boys rooms, have resulted in a whirl of mess, mess, mess. My husband has been diligently painting walls, repurposing furniture, meanwhile all of the clothing, shoes, toys, junk, furniture we are no longer using, etc... is lining the hallways and rooms of my house! We have tried to engage the boys in this project, but it has somehow eluded them that they have any responsibility for putting the house back together, so it it a painful exercise of command and whine. Today, we must put it back, we cannot start the week in madness. So my day, is going to be interesting. They need to help, a lot. I need to figure out how to motivate them to help, without them feeling like they are being tortured. Wish me luck, at 10:30, video games, and NFL TV go off, and cleaning commences. I'd better have another cup of coffee, and pray for the next half hour, I'm gonna need it.
