Actually Remembered on Time

Well, I can say I have successfully updated on time for the first time in quite awhile.

Lots has been going on here. Today my little boy turned 2. We had a party for him last night. I managed to somehow get the party ready in time. On Friday, we realized that the weather might not cooperate with our pool party/cookout plans, so I frantically gathered a few games that would suit a 2 year old and his guests (kids aged 4-11). Luckily, we didn't need those extra activities as the weather stayed clear until we were cleaning up. We still used a few of them though. I will try to get the pictures up of what I managed to make later (camera is upstairs and I am not).

With as much as I was able to get myself to do yesterday, it really should not have surprised me as much as it has that today I would not be able to hardly anything. I spent most of the day laying on the couch watching my son play with his new toys, and even crashed in bed for a 4 hour nap (and I'm just barely awake to try and get this done). Unfortunately, this means I had to miss church. I really even tried telling myself that I would feel better when I ate, but that was a lie, I couldn't eat much of anything today. By the time I realized I wouldn't be able to make it to teach my class, Church had already started. I felt bad about it, but was reassured when I talked with the one in charge of the teachers after I managed to wake back up. I guess I have to be a lot more careful not to overdo it when I feel good on a Saturday.

In other news, I had begun to smell something unpleasant downstairs. At first I thought it was something that was just a house smell and most the house had it (since I don't feel good most of the time for some odd reason :-). Well then I started to realize that it was localized downstairs. I was thinking that it had to do with the furnace being downstairs and all the intakes centralizing in that area (just the smells of a house, and a 2 year old). It was annoying because it was getting strong enough I would feel awful just walking from the bottom of the stairs to my craft room (about 8 feet distance) and then I would panic because I didn't have any locations for an upset stomach downstairs (downstairs bathroom is still unfinished). Well, we figured out what it was tonight. The window well in the playroom has been collecting too much water again, and it has leaked into the room (a quarter of the carpet is soaked). I'm gonna try and get in there tomorrow with the carpet cleaner and try to get more of the smell gone (or at least masked by the smell of cleaning chemical). I really hope that we can get it fixed back up soon. This poor tummy does not appreciate my current super-sniffer.

And, just so you don't think that crafting has no room in my life anymore, I should mention that I am trying very hard to make sure I get the next round robin done on time (Thank you Annette for being so understanding of my lateness last month). This round robin, however, is teaching me something. Despite all the fabric I have (and my hubby says there is too much), all my fabrics seem to be the wrong shades of everything for these quilts. I think I've found a few things that will work with this one. Guess if I don't, I get to go shopping again. :-)

Sorry for the length. I will try to get pictures up soon-ish.

Until next time.
