I have been having trouble sleeping since Stefan (the hubby) left....I basically always have when it is for long periods of time. But he usually comes back from a business trip and stays home for awhile inbetween before my schedule gets outta whack again. See going to bed at 3am and waking at 6am does not make for a productive Mommy at all....while I do try....along comes noon and I am out like a light for about 2 hrs. Which is thankfully while to kiddos are still at school...but man that is prime "doing stuff" hours. I did manage to walk the dogs, take out the recycling/garbage, and get the dishes done. I also had the task of catching up on all things internet worthy...but then I took a bath....I know....who takes a bath in the middle of the day?? Not I usually, but dumbly I did....and then laid down right after....and then that was it....
I woke up cursing myself....I swear (well not really) that I will not do this everyday to get myself back on track. But with DH being pretty much gone permanently until we sell the house and join him it does not look like I will be getting any beauty sleep for a long time coming....and boy am I needing it.
We had a great Halloween weekend though...the boys all had fun, and took home 24 pounds of candy...it really is so very very wrong. I am going to have to ditch some of it before it completely rots their teeth, and makes me gain that 24 pounds...lol.....thankfully good ole brat dog Sawyer is helping us out with that....who said that chocolate was deadly to dogs did not tell this pooch... He ate at least half of Tristen's bag-o-candy....even though it was in the cupboard and up high, the stinking sneaky dog still managed to get it....never fails....everytime we go out, he always finds something to destroy. I think he just likes to outsmart us...grrr..... We did the annual pilgrimage to Zellars to pick up all the boys snow stuff....hats,mitts, snowsuits (Kyle is now to cool for snowpants). Gavyn is now wearing a sz 18.....the boy is 8.....I am scared....while not in length, the boy is all torso, he is definately in the waist...and I get to do a lot of tailoring...hemming snowpants is not one of my labours of love, but I will for him...:)
Last but not least...I have been sewing up a storm these days, and I hope to fill a up a new etsy store...why? I don't know...cause I am silly that way...hehehe...I recently listed a couple of things with ebay for the NieNie Recovery launch...if you would like to see what is listed, please go to ebay and search NieRecovery...I have some sweet Silhouette dresses up....here is a sneak peek...
