Last Week

Last week was a MESS!

I am sure you have those days

where you just want to crawl back into bed

and start the day over

or just skip it completely!

Last week I had one of those WEEKS!

Nothing major, 

just everything was happening at once,

and I got SO overwhelmed with 

EVERYTHING!

We had started back to school,

it was the last week of our summer sports league

(so there were trophies to buy and parties to plan),

then the "real" new school year is getting ready to start,

so all of our homeschool groups are starting to ramp up,

and in an attempt to get active and make friends,

I had previously volunteered alot...

probably too much.

I volunteered to coordinate t-shirts for one of the groups. 

I started it a few months ago,

but quickly got unmotivated due to lack of response.

I got re-motivated by the group leader last week

and she asked me to press on.

So I did.

I am pleased with what came out of it,

the design I came up with

With the help of the only 3 participants in our 

design contest - 

14 said they were interested in participating...

I got 3 submissions.

So I combined aspects of their designs 

into one design.

I am pleased with how it turned out and will share soon!

I also volunteered to help plan, organize, co-coordinate

a used book sale for another local homeschool group

(very closely linked to the other ones I am a part of)

It has been a rough process with limited responses there too.

But we are pressing forward

the sale is Friday,

I am just ready for this one to be behind us.

So: 

trophies

t-shirts

used book sale

house decisions here

house decisions back home

oh yeah,

and then that whole "other" blog thing...

and 

cooking, cleaning, schooling

It just all hit me at once

and 

I wanted to just tell everyone

(but my family)

to go away

and

leave me alone!!!

But I didn't...

I survived...

And 

Friday,

we had the

BEST

school day we have had yet!

Well yet this year anyways

(in the 4 total weeks we have

been back at it).

So this weekend,

I regrouped,

reorganized somethings (will share later),

made my "to-do" list

made tons of headway on my 

above mentioned 

commitments

and 

projects.

I am excited to look towards 

a

NEW 

week!

Thanks for listening.

Sometimes I really just need it.
