What's Going On

Sorry for being so absent, lots of things are going on here. Some great, some just good and a couple I would rather not be dealing with (so I won't bother you with them)

I'm so grateful that the girls (knock on wood) are both healthy. Finally! It seems like one or both were sick during the month of October. Yikes!

The girls continue to play, entertain, laugh and enjoy each other. It's so, so, so much fun to witness. Abby is about to be 1. 1. WOW, she is almost 1. I can not believe it, I have so much to get together.

I've been so busy. My shop is really busy. I took on a large order (60 pairs of pants) on top of my Shop orders....and the extra money was a huge blessing but it really has been hard. My family has been very supportive and My Mom has been awesome (as normal), she's stopped by on a few occasions with Diet Cokes from Mc Donald's...my guilty pleasure...and even watched the girls to let me make runs to the post office. She then gave me hugs and told me to basically breathe. I realize that I bit off more than I could chew...well almost. But I've learned and now know better. I will keep these big orders for non-holiday times when I'm a bit slower.

I would have been able to fly thru the large order if I ignored the girls, but that would defeat the purpose of being home. So I get up early, work during naps, and stay up late to get it all done. But I'm BEYOND grateful for this HUGE, GINORMOUS blessing that has been handed to me. Nothing worth having is easy, and dreams don't come to those that don't push themselves.

I'm struggling with keeping my work/bedroom area separate and organized but as soon as I get caught up on my orders that will be the very next thing on my list.

Okay enough about me. The Hubs is working away from home right now and we miss him, but he will be home soon. So I'm taking advantages of the extra time to get some stuff done. Emily was hoping every noise she heard this evening was him coming home. So sweet. She loves her Daddy!

So there is our update, some info/pictures and the such. I have to end this with some things I'm thankful for.

Hubby's car broke down 2 days ago. He was on the interstate and I had to round everyone up to go get him and have the truck towed. But God was watching over us and had it happen in a safe spot, and near our friend who was able to fix it over night so it was ready for Hubby's work trip. This would have been a disaster had it happened far away from home!

I'm so thankful for my life, my Hubby, and kids. It's not always easy but that's okay. I'm strong enough for this life that was given to me!

I will be doing another post on Homemade Christmas but I really want to share my dear friend's new Etsy shop:

She is adding stuff all the time and I love everything. I wish I had more walls that she could design pieces for!!!
