Cricut Cutter

I got a Cricut Cutter today. My Christmas present to myself. I am soooo excited to start using it. I have so many projects that I want to do in the next few months. I hope to get to start on some soon. I want to paint my living room, hall way, and bathrooms first. I will be sharing soon about my new toy too!! (Cricut Cutter). My husband has also started a screen printing business, he got a heat press for Christams and already has his first order! Wish us luck as we begin a NEW Year in 2010!!!

Being a Stay at Home Mom

Today is officially two months since I was laid off from my job. I still do not have a routine, maybe it is just because of the Holidays but I have to have organization and some kind of routine. I have found that when you are no longer working people tend to "ask you favors". It's not really that I mind doing them, but again I am trying to get a routine going. I did find out the hard way about a few things. At first I felt like my house had to be clean every day. I was cleaning everyday. Then I decided I would just clean on Fridays, that only took one time. You do not clean right before the weekend begins. It is just a waste of your time. So now I have deciated Tuesdays and Wednesdays for cleaning and doing laundry. This has worked out better. I like running errands on Thursdays or Fridays but sometimes this isn't possible. Otherwise I have just been working on homework, but finals were over last week and this week is starting to get crazy because of everything going on with Christmas. Between practices for volleyball and wrestling, church activities, family gatherings (yes, already) and working concessions this Sunday night at the Panther's game, our nights are packed. Hopefully after the Holidays, I will get a better routine going. I am taking seven classes starting in January so I know that will take up a lot of my time, and I really want to start back on my scrapebooks. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

I am new at this. I recently became unemployed after 15 years. I am now a stay-at-home mom and going to school full time at night to finish my teaching degree. My family is my life!!! I have a wonderful husband of 18 years, a step son that was 3 years old when we married, he is now 21 years old and in college playing baseball!! We have a daughter that will be 13 in 2 months, and her passion is volleyball. Then we have a four year old that just started wrestling. Sports is kids passion and we love to watch them play. I am not very creative, and I don't like to cook but thought I would start this blog and see how it goes.
