I guess I don't have to exercise anymore...
Did you know that banging your head against the wall burns 150 calories an hour? I know. I can't believe it either. And to think I wasted all that money on a treadmill.

My latest project
I know....it's destined to end up on my pile of unfinished crafty and sewy things, but I just can't help it!! I HAVE to make this for Abby! Or start to make it anyway.
I found it here, just in case you were wondering. ;)

bleh...
Yet another month flies by. Two camping trips passed without disastrous incident. I'm behind on everything else in my life, like usual, and feeling a little inadequate at the moment. Ok, A LOT inadequate. Don't you hate those moments when you feel like you are ok at most things, but just not good enough at anything? I feel like blowing a great big raspberry at life and if I was good at typing sound effects, I would do just that.
So anyway, I will postpone the pity party I was just having with myself and I will catch you all up on my life as of late.
Like I mentioned above, we had two camping trips with two very different groups of family members in the space of two weeks. We came home from the first, had two days to prepare for the next, then left to spend four more luxurious days in the high Uintahs. (did you catch the sarcasm there?) I will spare you the details, but will just say that both trips were very fun in different ways. I didn't catch a single fish, though. I am a little irritated to say the least. Abby, however, caught at least ten, but they were all plastic and colored hot pink. Dang...she is so cute!
The two middle children start school next Monday and not a moment too soon! I love their guts, but I am craving routine, a cupboard that still has food in it and most of all, a quiet moment here and there. I know, I know...in a couple of months I will be wishing I didn't have to worry about homework, getting up early and wanting more time to spend with them. But we always want what we don't have, right?
Abby is finally potty training. Well, let's say that Shawn and I have finally decided to make her because we are sick of diapers. The funny part is that Abby is totally capable of doing it, but she simply doesn't want to take the time out of her full-time playing and movie watching schedule for such things. So we have a few little accidents (the latest was in my bed this morning...UGH), but she is doing pretty well. We have figured out that bribing her with pink, sparkly Hello Kitty stickers is a nice incentive.
Well, life is calling me and I am experiencing a rare moment of motivation right now, so I better get off this computer and go do something and only get half way through it. :)
