Back To School

This time tomorrow my girls will be finishing their first day back at school, it seems silly that they send them back in August for 2 days before a 3 day vacation weekend, just to save a few days in the following June but that’s the way they do things here so off they shall go.

Caity is like a mini teenager and I mean mini in the literal sense, at only 47 pounds she’s already small for her 9 years, yet what she lacks in stature she sure makes up for in personality!  She’s taken to insisting that she must shower EVERY day, trying to blow dry style her hair, not wanting to wear braids anymore .. I’m so sad .. like where did my baby go?

Amy is seeming more self confident, is excited to get back to being with her friends, it’s good to see her blossom so beautifully and for today I’m just going to let her primp and get herself perfect for her first day back.

Me?

Exhausted, desperate for a day off, frustrated at a certain husband and determined not to do too much today if it can be helped at all.  Weight wise, I’ve lost another pound bringing my weight loss in the last 2 weeks to 14lbs.  I’m hoping to lose at least 50lbs, and as much as possible of that by Halloween for our annual party, I have a dress I’m in love with hanging in my closet that’s so perfect and I just have to fit in it comfortably by then.

Where did the summer go?

It really feels like it’s flown by, fatigue has been overwhelming at times, but I’m thankful I still have the energy to keep up.

Adam spent 2 months here this summer, it was fun but hectic on my schedule, I’m falling horribly behind on so much but it’s worth it to have him home. 

I have had time to create some new items for the stores, I love the new rainbow ducky and piggy soaps, all the colors of the rainbow.  New lollipops include more vehicles and birthday items, but there’s a lot more coming now that inventory has been almost completed, seems I’ve actually surpassed the 300 variety mark!!

It’s still my goal to get them all listed before Christmas, fingers crossed I have the time and energy.
