Another week

Sunday once again. I am feeling okay today and church was spiritually invigorating. I am still tired though. I am expecting work to be a little stressful this week. But Joey will be there to handle things.

I'm still behind on my quilt blocks and haven't done much sewing lately. I need to get myself back on track.

The diet is going okay. I've lost some weight and feel a little better. I think my husband is getting tired of it though. he says he isn't losing right now. We enter the second phase this week. We slowly add carbs until we are still losing weight but not as rapidly as the first week. We also get to add a few more choices in the food. I am still not really motivated though and need to find some motivation.

The kids are pretty bored now and school is sounding good to them. Killian is a little nervous about going to high school and Tatianna is worried about doing well her Senior year. TaKayren is not worried at all since she likes school and Perigrine wants to have perfect attendance. Arianna is trying to get herself enrolled in classes at the local community college. It is all having to happen so quickly.

I don't know where July has gone. We have a mere 5 days left. Not enough time but the same as every one else has. I guess we need to prioritize better.

Tired, stressed, unmotivated

Sunday and I am sick. The boss will be out all next week and some of the techs are trying to get away with stuff. Could be a long week. One tech will be out for family illness and we have extra stuff to do. Sick or not I have to go to work tomorrow.

I am still behind on my quilt blocks. I get home from work and am so tired that I don't feel creative. Saturdays are tied up with family and Sundays are tied up with church. I am totally not motavated right not.

I need to get out of this funk.

canning/quilting/dieting and life

It's the 11th of July. I must be getting older because time is going by faster. The family is canning today. The garden is doing great. cabbage, tomaotes, hot peppers, zukes and summer squash. Watermelons ripened too early because of the heat so the seed to pulp ratio is higher than it should be. They still taste good.

I am way behind on my projects. I need to make time to work on all those unfinished projects. I am also way behind on the quilt block of the month. I guess that I shouldn't be trying to do 3 of them. It seems I have lots of projects that are all but finished. I am hoping to try to work on them in the evenings and Sunday afternoons. TaKayren wants to sew a dress and we need to get the pattern cut out. I could really use some new clothes myself.

My hubby has decided to do the low carb diet again. Which is crazy since the garden is doing so well. We have veggies galore and not a lot of meat. Meat has gotten way expensive. But I may join him, I have hit over 300 and don't like myself much right now. Work keeps me on my feet alot and I am tired by the time I get home.

I would love to work just long enough to get our credit cards paid off and quit but we have kids that will need college tutition and no savings. There is so much that we need to take care of. Plus I know I would go nuts staying home all day. I would spend time doing crafts and well that costs money. Hmm, either I have time and can't afford to do my hobbies or I can afford them but don't have any time. Same Song Different Day.
