13 Days until school starts...

Wednesday, August 22nd. 13 days until school starts...but who's counting?
We are trying to get into the habit of getting to bed earlier and waking up earlier, which the kids hate. There's no way anyone's going to be ready to get up at 6:30am in 13 days without being totally crabby. We've gotten way into the bad habit of sleeping in until 8:00, or sometimes later.
Oh well, that's what summer is for. I think we're all ready for school to start!

Saturday night in the suburbs...

Saturday night in the burbs...a hot and muggy night in the midwest. Our town of approx. 900 is having their local summer festival tonight. There's a beer tent (of course) with a band. Tomorrow there will be a parade, which I really like because I'll see lots of people I know and all the kids will be out running around. Just what summer should be. Remember when you were a kid? Didn't it seem like summmer lasted forever? I can tell it's almost time for school to start up again because sunset is around 8:30...at the peak of summer-skinned-knees-catch-fireflies-season, the sun doesn't set until almost 10pm! The kids run around and play "ghost in the graveyard", and ride bikes to the local store for an ice cream cone. (Which then must be eaten immediatly or it will melt all over!)
Pretty soon we'll do our back-to-school shopping and the kids will be all excited over the new school supplies...and then they'll be off on another year.
Wish us luck!

Is it Friday yet?

It's almost 1am and I am at this supid computer again. Trying to figure out html and get things going on my cafe press store, to make some money to help with the unending bills. (Check out my store...cafepress.com/creativethought).
Unfotunately, I get up early with the kids while my husband is at work, and then I go to work when he gets home...and by now, when I get home, I'm not feeling so motivated or creative. Then I get all tangled up in the web...links to this and that, trying to find out what's legitimate. Where I can post my link. How to post a link for someone else on my page. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. Just like everything else...
okay, back to work for me...

Wednesday 2:49 am

Not really sure what to blog about..is that even a phrase? First time i've tried this. I should go look through some other blogs and see what people are saying. But really, I should go to bed.
