Tryin' to get life back on track again

I know..I know...I keep making excuses for my long gaps of nonblogging....but other than just being super busy with work, kids, and life in general, I have no excuse!  My only alone time these days is behind the closed bathroom door...and sometimes that isn't even sacred.  There is usually a kid or two yelling through the door or banging on it, or hubby yelling asking what to do with the kids...you know the routine.

I have been hard at work tweaking an old idea that I started and didn't really follow through with, true to my nature which is something I am working on getting better at, and that is my Household Notebook.  Some people think its something for us bored stay-at-home/work-at-home moms to do to keep us busy, but I havve to say, having everything in one place for the home is a beautiful thing.  I am hoping to post about it more later when I get pics taken and maybe even a video.  I got a webcam!! YAY!  so I might just start doing some vlogging as well as blogging.....if I can find the time/energy to do it!

I have gotten so many wonderful ideas from fellow bloggers and vloggers about the household notebook and I will definitely share them along the way.  Must give credit where credit is due!

The summer is going by fast.  We took a trip to Yellowstone and stayed in Livingston, Montana for a week last month.  What a wonderful time we had and we all SERIOUSLY needed a vacation.  All of us have been running on hyperdrive and the downtime was something we all really, really needed.  Montana is absolutely gorgeous.  The mountains take your breath away and the people were so very friendly.  We had a great time.

We only have a few weeks left and its back to school time, already!  Here in Arizona the kids start back the first few days of August.  My son is definitely ready to go back.  I think he is getting bored at home and missing his friends.  Being that I work at home is great in that the kids don't have to go to daycare, but it does suck for him when I have to work part of the day when he is home.  He gets bored, poor kiddo.  But I try to keep him busy with fun do-at-home science projects and a gamet of other things.  I try :-)

My little girl is doing great! She turns 1 next week...yes, 1! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by.  She is cruising along on furniture now and took 2 steps all by herself the other day.  She is growing up so fast.  And I am getting old LOL!  Okay so I feel old some days :-)

So anyway, just wanted to pop on and post SOMETHING cuz something is better than nothing...right?

Till i get my butt on here again....
Bright Blessings,
