One Week Down, How many left?

The first week of school is behind us. My goal was to have a breakfast each morning and sack lunches upon request. I managed to accomplish this so I am a little proud right now. I couldn't have done it this first week without Mum & PawPaw. Mum brought dinner over Tuesday night and resumed her usual Wednesday babysitting. PoPo took over the golf lesson duty on Tuesday so I didn't have to sit at Eagle Pointe for an hour. That helped a lot! Greg and the boys all tried hard to keep the house relatively clean so maybe I won't have to spend this long Labor Day weekend cleaning. That helped too. The people in charge at school are asking more out of me this year than I want to give so I'm pouting on the inside but being a team player on the outside. All in all, I rate this week a 7 out of 10. And look at my Angels in their first day of school picture! It is all worth it if I can just keep up the pace.

Ok, surely sometime this long weekend I can touch my sewing machine! I bought the new McKena Ryan Sea Breeze kits and I'm anxious to take them out and begin. However, I do have her Christmas Quilt kits to finish and her On The Farm kits to finish! My Thimbleberries 2006 BOM is due at the quilter by Sept. 12th. Still have 2 blocks to do and put it together. I love deadlines, they help me get things done so I guess I better start with that project and finish it. So much fun....too little time!
