WATCH OUT INDY!!!

Chaia has a learners permit!!!! I really can't believe that this time has come....She is so excited yet nervous....Can you imagine how we feel?!?!!?!
She started Driver's Education tonight. I go pick her up in a few hours we'll see how this goes....Stay tuned...

Our Trip to Detroit

Mitch and I had a great time! We went to Detroit to see a hockey game, we went to Canada, we saw the Hockeytown cafe, CoAmerica park were the Detroit Tigers play, etc! Be sure and check out our pictures....

I can't keep up....

Okay, I'm keep finding myself always behind.....It seems I'm always playing catch up---laundry, cooking, cleaning, blogging, emailing, the list goes on and on and on and on...

Seems like I just finish one thing and I turn around and have to start all over!

Whoever said I'd have more time as the kids got older and all in school.....forgot to mention that they eat more so longer grocery bills/trips, their clothes are bigger so more loads of laundry, their messes are bigger & messier than just picking up baby toys, that they all 3 have homework EVERY night that we need to help with, they all have schedules and different places to be at the same time, UGH I could go on and on..... Yes, they help when they can but they are only home from school a few short hours (in which we have to do homework, dinner & baths-maybe play time if there is any extra time).

Sorry for my venting just been one of those weeks when you feel like you just can't get ahead!
I'm doing good to just stay afloat!

I know this too shall pass and then I'll wish for these busy days back when my kids are grown and gone----and Mitch and I are left all alone---what will we do with all our time then -hopefully play with grandkids ;) and re-live these busy days in our memories and wish for them back!

So now that I've had my little therapy session my housework doesn't seem so UGH anymore---thanks for reading.... back to work ---need to make sure all the beds are put back together before I leave for church tonight....

Here's Tile 2.0

LOOK what I did today?

Okay-I was giving the assignment to come up with a gift for our YW in Excellence night. Well, after working on a different craft project for Enrichment, I came across these tiles. They are glass but have a color baking-very pretty! Then I stamped the 2008 theme on them (which makes the glass looked etched), tied a cute ribbon & there you have it! I did 2 different versions-one with gems in the center of 3 flowers & a satin ribbon and the other I did a rolling stamp across the bottom and put a organza ribbon. I even toyed with the idea of put their names on them.

Let me know what you think...these are kinda like the Ornaments I made years ago for the Primary kids one Christmas.
