Darn it....I'm taking a BREAK!

That's it I put my foot down.... I am taking a break..... yes... I am going to blog....

Obviously, I have been swamped at home... trying to stay on top of school and then all the holiday gifts to finish making... which by the way... ornaments hit the mail today for all those that asked for one! YEAH! So keep an eye on your mail boxes.....

I am wondering if there are any other people...strange people like me out there. I ALWAYS... and I mean AlWAYS get to many BRIGHT.... (Cough, cough) BRIGHT ideas to make all these gifts for people at christmas..... It's like my brain doesn't register that there is only so many days and hours before christmas is here and you can't do it all. For example... this year I commited myself to making ornaments for all of the gifts we are giving as the gift tag which they can save and use for an ornament. Then I started to give my nieces and nephew each year an individualized pillowcase with their names embroidered on the end in big letters... for example Spongebob..... Dora.... Flowers.... trucks....anythings that are their likes and then a gift to go with it. So I need to make the pillowcases for the other neices and nephew's this year. Then I am making 2 quilted table runners for my mother and father - in -law. I really want to do pillowcases for my kids also... cuz... I found these really cool prints to do them out of and of course it would be fun....

Then I decided that it would be fun to do an ornament day with some friends of mine and their kids so I getting 5 different styles of ornaments ready for about 15 kids to make at my house and I need at least 15 of each one!... I mean all this stuff is so much fun ... but...I seem to find my time running away on me.

I have also decided to shed my extra baby pounds before christmas... at least 5 to 10 before christmas so I am hitting the exercise heavy in the mornings... trying to get it done before kids are up.... oh... it's sooooooo hard to get out of bed...... SOOOOOO HARD! I have only lost 1 pound... but.... I WILL make my goal before christmas.... (I think... hope... PRAYING)

School also plays a huge factor. It is noon before I can even think about getting onto something other than school. So... Please tell me that there are other crazy people out there that just can't say no and think that everything would be so much fun! I'm not the only one right?????

Anyways... who knows how much time I will get to blog again.... but I promise at least one more before christmas... so to all those loyal readers out there... I apologize for the the lack of blogging .. just know that I am truly swamped and will catch up with everyone when I can!.....

Well that's my break... need to feed the BENJEENO and then work on more christmas stuff!

P.s. Jes..... How are the ornaments going??????? FUN .... RIGHT???????? (smiling)
