Weekends, Weekends, Weekends

Well, I am starting a blog to document our very busy lives. I love being busy, but sometimes we can be too busy. Now that I am a Stay At Home mom with a 1 year old, I want to take some time to slow down and blog what is going on in our lives.

David always tells me I create my on misery, but I honestly love doing all that I do. I am busy with Anna, but I love to do for other people. Now that I am a SAHM, I have more time to do those things that I could never do. Whether it be babysitting, having playdates, cooking for others, running errands, visting, etc., I just love it.

Weekends always seem to be so busy. We may start out with nothing planned, but by Sunday evening we are exhausted. It is a time to catch up with family and friends and each other. There is always housework, shopping and the usual, but we seem to plan 100 other things in the time that is left over. This weekend we set up for the annual "Young Family Garage Sale" Friday night and really had too much fun. After many margaritas and wine, we were ready for the hagglers. Saturday morning was too early (5:15am), but our efforts paid off to sell our JUNK. We made about $400, which is great for our area. I really felt good after we donated to items left to the Women's Shelter and Goodwill. Then it was off to the grocery store to prepare our dinner. It was great and really had a nice night with my niece and friend Carey. Anna, our daughter, played with her cousin Anna and really learned a lot. Thanks to Aunt Carey, they learned to do the "water sprinkler" in their dance routines, after we played "Dance Party USA". Sundays are always relaxing and refreshing. Church, family and good food. Now we are settling down for the night and preparing for the next week ahead, which will be busy with my Grandfather's 80th birthday party, my Dad's birthday party and Halloween. I hope everyone has a great week. And remember, slow down.


Hopefully this blog will keep you up to date and keep me sane. LOL


Enjoy!
