Hi all. OK, I decided I was tired of looking "bad". I am going to try this blog thing again. I will try my hardest to be better so all of you can keep up with us--assuming I can keep up with myself.

I had one goal this summer and that was organization. I am not sure what part of the word "organization" I don't understand. We are now one month from school starting and I haven't gotten one thing organized. Frustrating. This sweet little baby I have doesn't seem to be happy unless I hold her ALL the time. So I do. People tell me I will have plenty of time in life for a perfect house. I don't like that answer. I told DH that I need to just get rid of everything and start fresh. I am not sure how he felt about that idea. That would mean dh and dd would have to declutter. Darn! Any ideas on how to make a happy baby and organize a house in one month? Thanks.

I must say that I am excited for school to get started again. DD goes in to 2nd grade and I go into a forever sophomore status at the college. I MAY someday graduate. I am a 1/2 a tenth away from honors and am so excited. Anyone every taken Geology. I am a little nervous about that class. Wish me well.

So, I think I am still afraid of this blogging thing. If I could get past the mental block of sounding retarded, making someone angry, or just being weird I think this blog thing could be a really nice outlet for me. Hmm. I guess I need to tell people I have one. This could get interesting.

Wow, I am finding new hobbies like crazy. I got invited to a Stampin' Up party and got hooked. I love their stuff. I have been on EBAY it seems non-stop finding stamps I guess I can't live without. It's been alot of fun and have made some really cute pages. Now I just have to get my area set up so I can scrap and stamp away. I can not wait to have a room all to myself just full of scrap, stamp, and craft stuff. That will be fun.

I also found that I could actually decorate a cake. I am pretty well impressed with myself. I made a cake for Lexi's birthday and did so well I made another one today for my friend's birthday. I will try to figure out how to post pictures. I don't know how to post them so when I figure it out I will.

My poor Amelia. She has been so unhappy these last couple days. I have no clue what I am doing wrong. I don't think I am really doing anything wrong, I believe she may be teething. I kind of remember teething with the other kids, but I guess I forgot. Amelia just cries and cries and cries some more. She cried until 5 am this morning and then has been pretty much unhappy all day. She is now finally sleeping. It's all par for the course, being I have a math final tomorrow morning and 2 papers due this week. This will teach me a lesson about procrastinating.

Other than Amelia, we are finally finishing this semester. I was going to go to school during the summer, but Matt pretty much talked me into a break. He said I needed a mental break. I am tired and mentally exhausted. It will be good to get caught up on all of my life from being pregnant. Yes, from pregnancy. You might say "that baby is 5 months old". I would say yes she is, however, I had a c-section and went back to school full time 5 weeks later. Therefore, my house will become organized, it will get a good deep clean, and it will be good quality time spent with the children. Sound fun?

I hope this finds you all well and happy. Wendi
