Gotta Get Organized and Saying No

Okay, I've got a lot going on. I'm a member of several community organizations, my kids are involved in things, etc - we are busy people - obviously that's where I got the title for my blog :)

I have decided that we are going to be organized by the time school starts (Aug 20). I know that if I'm not, life will be crazy (in a bad way)! Yesterday, I cleaned out my 3 year old's closet. That is a major step in the right direction!

Today, I'm going to meet with Heather and get the Sally Foster stuff rolling....another check on my list - WAHOO - feeling good :)

Crazy Friends

Several of my "mommy" friends claim to be going crazy. One of my friends states that she is one step away from the local mental hospital at any given moment. I don't think that's true, but it sure makes me feel better to know I'm not the only crazy one. I love her more when she tells me that.

So much to do, so little time

So, the girls are out of town this week...awesome! I love them so very much, but the quiet has been great! I am looking forward to their return on Sunday, but in the meantime, I have huge plans. Fast forward to today...haven't gotten much done, but am currently working on the 3 year old's closet. It is amazing how much stuff (CRAP) they have! I'm hoping that she won't notice how much is missing.

The cake that Mommy made...

Okay, here's the cake that Mommy made. My first experience with fondant. I'm darn proud of myself. Considering that I have no natural talents and am completely self taught (using Google and various parenting websites) I think I did a pretty good job. Because 1 child has a life-threatening food allergy, I've had to learn how to make pretty desserts...this is not something I EVER thought I could do and I have to say that I am improving. Maybe by the time Cal gets married...I can make her wedding cake - HA - that's a lofty goal!
