Too much to do and.....

First of all, I just wanted to thank you girls for all the sweet comments on yesterdays post. "Miss Priss" had the time of her life. She said it was exactly how she wished it would be. Even though, I get teared up at the thought of her having a "serious" boyfriend. I have to admit the BF is very sweet to her!! And she had a good time, so that is all that matters!!

She even said that while at dinner she had a Mom come up to her and ask her if she could give her daughter an autograph. I guess there was a little girl at the restaurant that thought Katelyn was a REAL Princess!! LOL!! Needless to say, she gave the autograph and was VERY flattered!!

As I am typing this, I am at work. And I NEVER post from work but at the moment I need to vent. I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment. UGGHHH!!! Do you all ever feel like you have too much to do and not enough time to do it all!?!?! Well, that is EXACTLY how I am feeling today.

Being a Mom that works outside of the home, I constantly feel like there is not enough time in the day. When I am here at work, I worry about home and vice versus. And with so much happening right now, I feel like I am drowning. With the kids upcoming activites (Prom, Math competition, Graduation, Graduation party to plan, etc.) and trying to go camping to get our $$$ worth with the camper we just bought, work, housework, a Bunco night that I am supposed to be hosting, etc. Oh yeah, and a upcoming yardsale we are having I am OVERWHELMED!! And my housework is definitely suffering. I even made a "chore list" to try to stay on top of the cleaning, laundry, etc. but I still feel like I am not doing something right.

I wish I could spend sometime crafting and decorating but lately I am lucky if we all have clean socks (much less unmatched socks...LOL!!)to wear!! LOL!!

Take this weekend for instance, Saturday was spent all day running for Prom, Sunday we cleaned out the attic to get things ready for the upcoming yardsale. And before I knew it my alarm clock was going off at 5:15am this morning and another work week was beginning.

I know it will all calm down soon, but I just wish I had some breathing room...or better yet, a "ME" day!!

Awww....Calgon take me away!! LOL!! Only if it was the easy!!

So, I ask this...what is your "secrets"? How do you all find the balance between work and home? How do you all make sure that you devote all the QT to your family as you should but yet still have the time to blog, craft, etc.?

Prom Pictures

As promised I am back with Prom pictures..

Saturday Mornings Ramblings...

Just wanted to stop by this morning before things get too hectic around here (today is Prom day) and thank Wendy and Tammy for the advice on painting my shelf. I kinda had a good idea how to acheive the look, just needed to get some reassurance. But you girls will be glad to know that I decided I will just go for it. Like the hubby said...it is ONLY paint and I can always start over if I don't like it. Right!?!?!?

Secondly, I wanted to let everybody know that I am only 7 (I think) posts away from my 100th post. And that I will be having a giveaway, just like I did for my 50th post. Maybe a little bit more prim. LOL!! However, this time along with leaving me a comment at the time of the giveaway to be entered, I am also going to ask that you become a follower of mine. PRETTY PLEASE!?!?! I only have 4 and I am starting to feel like a blogging loser. LOL!!

Lastly, I just wanted to let everybody know that today is Prom for "Miss Priss" and that I promise to post later with pictures!!

Help Needed!!....PLEASE!!!

I need some help...PLEASE!! I think in the past few days I have realized that I am not nearly ANYWHERE NEAR as crafted as I would like to be. Which is a bad thing at the moment because as I posted about a while ago that "Big Daddy was making me a prim shelf and cabinet I have been wanting for the end of the hall , with the conditions that I'd do the the painting. So now that he has completed the shelf, it is time for ME to paint it. And after my bust of a paint job on my paper mache eggs (that BTW, I am too ashamed to even show here on my blog) I am VERY nervous to paint the shelf.

So, this is where all of your help comes into play...this is a shelf that I found on Ebay that is very similar to the shelf he built for me and it is even close to the color I think I want to go with. So, to all of you "oh so talented crafters" out there...come on don't be shy, you know who you all are!! Could you PLEASE take a look at the shelf and tell me how to acheive this look!?!? I promise I'll be you BFF FOREVER!!! LOL!!

Another Great Giveaway!!

Hey there girls!! I know...two posts in one night but I just wanted to do a quick post before calling it a night regarding a GREAT giveway. Go HERE to enter...isn't this the cutest stitchery you have ever seen. And to think it was done by Joy who is only 1o years old!! Can you believe it!?!? I know, me neither...talk about talent!!

BTW, she has also been feeling a little under the weather so go over and give her some l♥ve!!

A Little Window Shopping

One of my all time favorite things to do is decorating. I usually know what I like but there are many times where my mind draws a blank and I just can't figure out how acheive that certain look. Does this happen to any of you? I really doubt it looking at the pictures of some of your homes. Your all naturals at this decorating thing. How and or where do you all get your inspirations!?!?!? Seriously people I need help!!

I only ask because there are people like me that need to look at every magazine or catalog possible to try to figure out how to display this shelf or that doughboard. And one of my all time favorite catalogs to do some window shopping in is Piper Classics. So here is just a little eye candy I have found the last few times....

Loonnngggg Day!!

Due to a LONG first day back to work from our mini-vacay and a very bad headache I'll be back tomorrow!!
