Share much of the same feelings you describe finding time to blog, exercise and keep the house, (no tj maxx here so I almost wish i had this problem). Was drooling over my sisters dictionary of crafts Martha Steward book at Christmas time. With work now I can only dream of making crafts. <br />Did you say moving??Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779192722462442800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-82492654051056818422011-01-12T18:46:55.829-08:002011-01-12T18:46:55.829-08:00I am working on cutting down on internet time.

Maybe it was the newness of motherhood and all it entailed, and now it's as if I just feel like I can coast a bit because they didn't choke on a hot dog that wasn't cut into fourths. Now it doesn't require such an intense hands on and go go go attitude. They are more independent and now I'm trying to find my place...my splurges are books. Does any of this make any sense? I've been stuck in the house the last two days with the kids that had two snowdays in a row and it's going to be like -6 tonight. I SO couldn't live further north even though I hate the heat. I haven't been blogging much either, though out of laziness and lack of photos not because of self discipline to get work done first. I resolve to be more like you!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480939903983271555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-12697529804031984402011-01-11T08:48:02.524-08:002011-01-11T08:48:02.524-08:00Thank you for the comment on taking care of Mom - ...Thank you for the comment on taking care of Mom - my Mom thanks you too - she got her own cake!!<br />Love your blog, when I first saw those diaper boxes I thought "yikes" but when I read you re purpose then I knew you were not spending every moment changing someone's diaper! Hope this will be a great year for you - a move in the future? Embrace the change - life is good & so are the changes it brings...maybe you'll head my direction!lapdogknithttp://lapdogknitsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-42413371545663789402011-01-09T19:00:50.974-08:002011-01-09T19:00:50.974-08:00I love the fact you just spill the beans and you a...I love the fact you just spill the beans and you are so real when you blog. You don't pretty much up, you just say it and I find myself always relating to you.<br /><br />I have three kids all grown now but I remember very well trying to bring order and balance and cross off the "to do list". You have a big family which means at this stage, you are stealing moments for yourself.<br /><br />If you look hard, you will find them...early morning when the sun is not shining and late at night when it's not shining either! Tee hee! That was about the only time I could relax and just play by myself.<br /><br />Loving your mom and helping her is an awesome resolution and one that you both can cherish. I'd give all my teeth to have my mom again, I'd even give all my gnomes!<br /><br />On my list this year was just to get more rest (naps and better sleep at night) and to live with more peace and passion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942436730835255946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-10073247558910421912011-01-08T18:24:30.335-08:002011-01-08T18:24:30.335-08:00I don't make resolutions.

It's cool that all of your 'pattern' boxes are the same size and design! And, my 22 year old daughter delights in saying 'henceforth!' And one more thing, if I thought I had to move, I'd be bleh also!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896397905655488182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-3105300526474706202011-01-08T14:59:50.660-08:002011-01-08T14:59:50.660-08:00Thank you for the get well wishes.

I still feel overwhelmed sometimes with so many things I want to do and my time has slipped away on things I didn't intend to waste my time doing! lol I always try to decide how I want to spend my time...and write it down to remind myself. I like to hurry through a lot of my chores first thing in the morning to free some time! And I'm retired...how can I be this busy? Hugs to you, my friend! ♥♥♥~Lavender Dreamer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06298191144517740164noreply@blogger.com
