I realize that I am not the best person to blog and tell all my readers.  Okay, all 5 of you about me.  I am trying to do better.  I am making a goal to be a better blogger.  I used to rock at it.  Or at least I thought I did.  But somehow life got busy and blogging got pushed back and my life has continued at mach speed.

It’s midnight.  And I am wide awake.  Want to know why?  I have been burning the candle at both ends for what feels like months.  Getting up early and staying up way too late to get everything I want to do done.  It has been fun.  It has been tiring.  And now I am wide awake because I crashed at 7:00 PM tonight and slept for two hours thanks to my kiddos waking me up.  At least they woke me up for goodnight hugs and kisses.  I love those.  But my two hour nap was a serious power nap.  And it is midnight and the house is totally quiet and I am ready to go.  What gives?  I laid in bed for quiet a while and then I thought I really should blog.  Because that is the right answer in the middle of the night.  Right?

Back to getting to know me.  Hmm..  I have a serious sugar addiction.  I am working on it.  (Keeping that addiction that is.)  Every now and then I get a kick that I should stop it.  I try for like two hours, and then I am back to my red vines.  Seriously don’t have a Costco size tub of those around me, ever.  I will eat them until my tummy hurts and they are gone.  Love them.  I had probably 502 of them today.  Okay, that’s an exaggeration but 52 is still a lot of red vines.  Time to lay off of the sugar.  Just until morning though.  :)  I keep thinking once we get moved into our own home again, instead of living in my parents basement.. (Did I mention that??) then I will get back to my sugar control.  And back to being healthier.

About the whole living in my parents house.  It has been over 4 months.  Jealous?  You should be.  My parents rock.  And my kids love living at Grandma’s house, there is an endless supply of sugar.  Wait.. I like that part too!  Not sure that my jeans are going to like it if I don’t get out of here soon.  We did buy a home however.  And in three weeks we get to move in.  I cannot wait!!  Details will come on that later.  I am super excited because we are buying a home that we are going to put some sweat into.  And for some reason, as if my life isn’t busy enough the whole idea just excites me.  The yard is big, and has HUGE trees, and well I can’t wait to live there.  It is going to be awesome.  I have a vision of a tree house for the kids.  A great hammock to take naps in, but not at 7:00 at night.  A tire swing hanging from a tall branch of one of the trees and endless blissful hours of happy children, and happy me.

And one more random thing.  Lately I decided to sew.  I get in this kick every now and then.  My Mom made all of my clothes for me while I was growing up.  I dreaded shopping as a kid because I would go, find things I liked and wanted.  And we would leave go to the fabric store for like for.ever.  And then my Mom would remake what I liked.  Totally awesome of my Mom now that I think of it.  At the time I was a bratty kid who totally wanted the store bought same as everyone else clothing.  Remember BUM Equipment??  Anyway, my kids think my sewing skills are something fierce.  Silly kids.  They don’t know how lacking I truly am.  But they love anything I make nonetheless.  And recently my Little Miss has been the beneficary of my sewing.  My niece was recently visiting and I ended up making matching dresses for both of the girls.  They are thoroughly cheesy especially since they were made for the 4th of July.  But the girls were in HEAVEN.  And really, what more could I ask for?  I even whipped up a couple of button bracelets to match.  And lastly, because I can’t post without a picture.  Here are the two cute girls in the dresses I made  They decided they are cousin sisters.  Love it.  And my Little Miss was convinced that everyone would think they were twins and no one could tell them apart.  Love that girlAnd with that, I think I will try and go back to bed.
