So much stuff goes on on a daily basis. But, none of it is really an entire blog post worthy. So, I’ve stored it all up and for your reading enjoyment…I’m giving it to you in one dose. Grab some super strong coffee for stay awake purposes…because, there is a reason why none of this stuff I’m about to share made it to its own post!!
The last 3 1/2 weeks, the girls have been away at camp. And…the laundry…hasn’t been as crazy! It’s been…AWESOME. But…they are coming back on Friday. Though I’ve missed them…they will be bringing home 2 huge duffel bags each…full of filthy, dirty clothes, sand, cockroaches and other various grossness. And the laundry. Will double. On a daily basis… Sigh…
Remember me mentioning my one son who refused to go to any sort of camp? Well, do you? Huh?…OK…so, I made him go to day camp called Sports and Adventure. He loved it so much that I signed him up for a second session…good thing it’s cheap!! Anyway…you know what he really wanted to do? He wanted to WORK at the camp my youngest son goes to. He loves little kids. And he thought it would be really fun to hang out with them all day. How cute is that? But, seeing that he is only 12…he has a couple of more years where he is still a camper.
My newest coffee addiction…THANKS A LOT BETH…is Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee with Toasted Almond flavoring. Um…YUMMY!!!
Delilah…that kitten that I am hand raising…is doing awesome!! Except, she is peeing everywhere. So, if you come over my house…please excuse the cat piss smell…that seems to be a permanent scent. Going to have to invest in Glade Plug-Ins.
I realized that I think I have some serious ADD issues. I stop and start new ideas like crazy. Annoying. I think I need some meds. I’m going to try my step-sons ADHD meds…maybe I’ll finally be able to drop those pesky 10 pounds…oh yeah…and be able to concentrate long enough to complete a thought!!
Speaking of ADD and addiction…
I’m addicted to making crochet purses. Remember when I was telling you guys about teaching myself to crochet? Well…I’ve mastered it. And…I’ve been making purses like a madwomen. I think…about it sometimes…I’m going to open an Etsy store, and try to sell them. They’re this seasons must haves. Cute stuff. Thursday I’ll post pictures of them…a kind of fashion show preview…before they hit the runways!!
The pinched nerve in my neck…the one I was dying from in December…is back. But good news…the one in my elbow is gone. You can’t win them all, right?
OH YEAH…DUH!! I can’t believe I forgot to mention…
I’m a dancer again!! Well…maybe you didn’t know that I used to be a ballerina…of the non-professional kind. I took ballet for 15 years or so, back in my younger years…and it was my life. I lived and breathed ballet. But when I hit my senior year in high school…and early college…I became more sporadic. And then, I did something really stupid…I dropped out completely.
But I started dancing again. And…I committed to it. I used MY OWN money…my hard earned, sitting in front of the computer for my dad money…and paid for two dance classes!! I’m taking Jazz on Tuesdays. And…Hip Hop on Thursdays. And starting in the Fall…I’m taking ballet again!!! I’m SO excited. Part of the air that I breathe…it has come back!!!
So, that’s all for now. I probably should go brush my teeth and wake the kids up to get ready for camp. Or…I could wake them up with my grotesque morning breath…
Anyway…I have to get ready to go to court to try to get the ex to pay some child support!! THAT is going to be an entire post…later!!
XOXO…have a wonderful day!!
good morning melissa ~ that is way awesome how your son wanted to help at camp. what a good sign. happy for you about getting back into your dance passion. i could practically feel your excitement jumping off of my computer screen. eat it up, take care, kathleenybeany 🙂 xoxo
That is great that your son wanted to help at camp, bless his little heart! My brother is the same way. I’m glad you get to do something that you love again too. Good luck with the child support. E-mail me later if you get a chance I have something I am dying to blog about to get it off my chest and can’t yet. I have to tell someone, will you listen?
Good luck at court!
I think it’s wonderful you’ve recaptured something of yourself and you’re back into dancing!
Can’t wait to see the purses and just think how many more you’ll get done once that ADD meds kick in!
I demand videos of you dancing!
Yea for you dancing again! I have always wanted to take a hip hop class but never got the balls to do it!
And I totally get what you are saying about the girls’ laundry. I live it sista!
Wow, where do I start… Yeah Son! And you’re dancing again. I think that’s fantastic!! Good for you for following your dreams.
I managed to delete my original comment, much to your gain because now I’ll be shorter. I want to take dance lessons again – haven’t in 20 years. Maybe my daughter’s dance teacher teaches adults as well.
Very sweet that the 12-year-old wants to help the little kids.
I crocheted a bunch of scarves for everyone at the Queen’s first Christmas. Then DeBoy came along and I haven’t touched it since. Never tried to make a purse. Only afghans and such. Will look forward to seeing your handiwork!
