Boy the time flies by the older you get. My mother use to tell me this when I was younger and she was so right. I don't know what has gotten into me, but every night I go to sleep thinking of all the things that I plan on doing the next day. I think that I will get up earily, clean the house, do some paper work and sometimes even bake. Then when it's all done maybe go into the craftroom for a bit. But then the next day comes, I open my eyes and it's already eleven o'clock this alone pisses me off to no end because I think of all the things that I could have had done by now. I then get my coffee and since my husband and I are smokers but do not smoke in the house I go out to the garage. Half of our two car garage has a carpet and the outdoor love seat, two chairs and a coffee table, pretty nice set-up. Oh and it's heated also. Anyways I go out there to have my coffee, a couple of cigarettes and go onto the computer. Now when I'm done it's twelve thirty or later,pissed off even more. I may clean up the kitchen a bit but since I still need to get dressed and pick Amber up at two thirty why get started with the house work. Instead I go to the craftroom for a hour. While in town to get Amber I may as well go and see if there is anything new at Wal-mart in the crafting area. After getting home from picking up Amber I may throw a load in and then have a nap. Anyways as you can see I do not get anything done again for the day. This seems to be the way things are anymore and the days that I go to work nothing at all gets done. I remember when I would be up at 7am with the kids and stay up all day cleaning and cooking. Now that they are older if I get up with them I go back to bed once they leave. I find that I do as little as I can with the house when I really want to do more but just can't seem to make myself do it. I always seem to have time to help others even if I really don't feel like doing it.
Boy I can not believe that I just shared this with you! Everyone out there is now going to think that I am a lazy slob. But I need to share it and is not a blog the place for sharing? So please don't look at me poorly, just look at me as a person who needs to get that fire lit under my ass again.

Just me and my craft room
Today was a great day. I got a lot done in the craft room. I first finished the dresser that I got from my Dad. It was blue but now it's white with pink trimming. I cut out all of my children's names, my husband, my son-in-law and my Grandson name in pink vinyl and put them on the side of the dresser. The top of the dresser I set up with fabric and tull and hung a piece of lace against the wall, this will be for the pictures that I will be taking of any crafts that I make. I also started to hang the new rod for my ribbons since I ran out of room on the old one. Like I said I started to hang it but failed and now it can wait until the weekend when Mark is home, he will get it up for me. I also finished a card that I was working on, I wanted it to look antique and think that it turned out okay. So far my card making skills are far from some that I have seen in other blogs. but with work I know that I too can be right up there. I then took pictures of three cards using the new area that I had fixed up for picture taking and if I can say so myself I think that the pictures turned out pretty good. After doing all of that I got back into making some more flowers for the explosion box that I am making. My plans are to do the lid up with paper flowers.
Next to all of that it was the mom stuff that filled the rest of my day, going to the bank, picking up glasses for Amber, driving kids here and there and how could I have forgotten a trip to the dollar store to pick up somethings for the craftroom. I do believe that tomorrow will be another day for myself in the craft room. One of these days I really do have to put the craft room under lock and key so that I can get the spring cleaning done because spring will be over before we know it and my house will still be a mess, at least the craft room is clean.
Take care for now and keep crafting.
