Bring it On!

Lance has been out of town since Monday and this week has been an adventure....to say the least. I learned to juggle a whole lot of madness that is for sure! I have to be at work at 7am each day and that is when Sofie's daycare opens....the problem is, it is 30 minutes away from my work. If you are in the teaching profession, you realize that our job has absolutely NO flexibility. Luckily, we have our meetings/planning time in the mornings, so I managed to pull off kid # 2 delivery. I normally wake up at 5am to get myself and Addi ready each day. I did the math, and it only took me 1 hour and 40 minutes to get all three of us dressed, teeth brushed and hair flat ironed. I'm pretty sure Sofie's hair has looked the best this week that it has all year! I have been counting down the days/hours until Lance is supposed to be home....and then tag, your it! Last night, I was thrown a slight curve ball. At 2am Sofie woke me up throwing up....in our bed. By 5am, I was completely beat down and had already started washing the third load of laundry. I had my mom watch the girls while I ran to school really fast to drop off sub plans, snacks and craft club materials. I am curious to see how the cross stitching went with the fifth graders today. Sofie bounced back pretty quick. She hasn't slowed down all day! She has been pretty whiney. I am guessing from the lack of sleep. She wanted to go to school SO bad today. She cried because today was pajama day and she was missing out. Poor girl! She was actually mad at me for not taking her. All the other parents can thank me for taking one for the team there! The stomach bug is one virus that don't play and I don't want anyone sharing that mess with my family if they can help it! 

With Lance out of town, I haven't been able to get much done in the sewing room. I worked really hard on Monday morning before he left. I was very thankful for an extra day off work Mr. MLK. I created a really cute Valentine outfit for my cutie patootie little niece. 

I was able to put the finishing touches on my cute signs! 

Surprisingly, I still haven't got tired of making these monogrammed pocket tees. I guess that each one is so different it doesn't bother me. I have made some really pretty ones! I might end up with one for everyday of the week before this is all said and done. This cute shirt will be used for spirit wear at our school! 

Don't forget that I will be giving away one of the pocket tees on January 31st to one of my awesome followers. I am almost to my monthly goal of 25 this month......so help me out! 

Time to relax for a few minutes before I fall asleep! Nothing like the smell and sound of a fire burning on a cold, cold day!
