*insert Jeopardy theme song here*

So here we go again...
Eric and I went to look at what feels like the umpteenth house this afternoon. It was beautiful, clean, in a nice neighborhood with good schools. Yard not to big and not too small with a cute little patio and it even had a swing set for the minions. Just what we have been looking for!

However this will be the fourth, that's right, FOURTH house we have put an offer on in this exhaustive year long house hunting journey. So you'll pardon me if I don't seem all that excited. Honestly I am scared to! I am afraid that this will turn out like all the rest.

And as if I wasn't suffering enough anxiety over this whole process...my printer ran out of ink as I was printing the last two pages of the sales agreement so I can't submit our offer until tomorrow morning! Grrr!!!! Not that it really makes that much of a difference, I mean at 9 at night how many other people are making offers. But still.....it would be my luck.

I know that God has a will and a way. So here I sit, waiting not so patiently for my life to change forever. Praying that this is the house God has planned for us.

A woman torn..

Those of you who know me, are well acquainted with my need to do everything. Normally I manage to limit what I actually end up doing (edit from her husband, she doesn't limit herself that much) so that I don't go totally crazy. But lately I find myself with FAR too much to do. Or should say, far too much that I want to do.

• I want to finish my first quilt, however I waited to long to buy the fabric for the binding and the backing and now none of my local fabric stores carry the fabric any more. Oh and going to multiple fabric stores to try to find the fabric I need only made my problems worse by opening my eyes to even more projects for me to attempt.
• I need to finish Tessa's Christmas stocking. She is approaching her 5Th Christmas with no stocking of her own. See my mom started this tradition of sewing these adorable stitched felt applique stockings. They are all cute and "happy hands at home" so of course I needed to continued the tradition.
• I found a whole bunch of new crochet patterns that I am dying to try.
• Don't even get me started on how many things I want to sew. Anyone need an apron? They are kinda my current obsession.
• I need to take the puppy to puppy school. He finally made it to the vet to get his last puppy shots so I should probably get him signed up now.
• I am a not so closet video game nut. I have a WoW Cataclysm bucket list that needs crossing off. Just got Loremaster Eastern Kingdoms last night, woot!
• I want to make more cakes. This is a new hobby for me, one that I LOVE. But they take up a massive amount of my available resources, it is amazingly hard to decorate a cake while dodging my minions.
• Ah the minions! Summer is here and it is my first full summer break as a stay at the home mom. It goes without saying that I am beyond excited! There are so many things I want to do with my kids! Trips to the beach, the park, the zoo. Playing in the sprinkler, making Popsicles. Teaching Daden to ride his bike with no training wheels. Going on Ryders first camping trip!

Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me? So how do you do it? How do you do everything on your list and still stay sane? Thoughts? Where to draw the line, how to prioritize?

Family first, of course. But all that other crap? I have no idea. Maybe I can stop sleeping at night. Somewhere in there I should probably make some time for exercise.......nah!

:D

First Blog EVER

So I have been thinking about writing a blog for a really long time. I have given it tons of though, way more thought then it deserves in fact.
Some reasons not to;
a: what would I write about?
b: Do I really have anything to say that is worthy of posting?
c: Does anyone really care?

In the end I decided that;
a: I talk so much that I should have no trouble finding something to write about
b: I don't really care whether or not it's a worthy piece of writing. It's my blog I'll write what I want.
c: I don't care if you don't care.
d: I want to so nah!

And so here I am now, typing my very first blog, and here you are now reading it. Mwah ha ha ha ha!
