Busy Busy Week of 2/2 - 2/8/2015

Been gone for a few days! Daughter graduated from Basic Training on 2/5/2015!!!! SO SO SO PROUD OF HER!!!!  My father had surgery the same day to have a pacemaker installed. I missed Amber's graduation but did get to spend Family Day with her on 2/6/2015.

Over the last week I have completed a few things. I finished up week 2 and started week 3 of school. Today is the end of week 3 and we'll start week 4 tomorrow. I got my taxes done and have already received a portion of that. Now to use it to pay off some more debt. Glad to be paying off some more and fixing our credit.

Got the deposit information changed for my accounts. Now that we have a local account I have to get everything switched over to it. Still need to call Ford and have the payment information changed. That's next on my agenda after school work.

Yesterday 2/8/2015 my son Alex was taken to the ER because apparently the Urgent Care here sucks. We were concerned because he has somehow injured himself enough that he was walking around like an old man for a few days and it was getting worse. Apparently he has a muscle strain, at least we are hoping that is what this is. He had blood in his urine but they did not find anything on the CT Scan they did.

Today we get back to normal. Ready for some school and getting settled back down. Hoping spring is right around the corner but I have a feeling we are gonna get some snow soon!!

First To DO List of 2015

My list for today 2/2/2015:

• school work (discussions, last 4 pages of presentation, quiz)
• at least one load of laundry (washed, dried and folded)
• unload and reload dishwasher
• work on cowl from January crochet along
• organize and put away bags in dining room
• wash sheets and remake bed
• straighten up master bath

One item down several to go. Having a list is going to help keep on track better I think.

So far today things are going well. If I can remember to do this everyday or at least every other day maybe I'll start to catch up with myself.

I have made a deal with myself.  I will complete at least one project a week even if it is a dishcloth.  I want to start holding myself accountable for completing tasks.

Starting today 2/2/2015 I will post my to do lists and update them at the end of the day. This includes tasks around the house, errands, school work and crafts.

We recently moved and we are currently getting all settled in.  Alexander is going to Yukon public high school now. He is enjoying it immensely and doing very well. We love that he having such a wonderful time!

Adrianna is in 6th grade this year and started her first year at Connections Academy.  She loves her school and teachers a lot. She has requested that we let her go to the local middle school next year. As it has high ratings and most of the girls in the Girl Scout troop are going there.  I told her we will see depending on how she feels at the end of the school year.

Anthony is in 8th grade at Connections Academy and is struggling to stay caught up.  He is however passing all his classes and doing well in that front. We have been talking about sending him to the high school with Alex next year and he is amenable to that.

Amber is leaving for Basic Training in 2 weeks. Wow where has the time gone. Just a few years ago she was in school complaining about boys. Now she's on her way to bigger and better things. Hoping she does well. Wish her all the best. May she have the best Drill Sergeants and not some roughneck crazy.

Off I go to craft and other fun things for the rest of the night.

Good night blogger land =D

Once again it's been forever and a day since I posted. OOPS!

I need to make a promise to myself to keep up with this blog even if it's just for me to keep track of my day to day life. These are a few of the thing I have finished lately. Pretty proud of myself for using color and actually completing something for once in a long time.

I hope you all enjoy these as much as I did making them! =D 

Photos uploaded and stash updated (except for the Palette pack).  Still waiting for the box from Knit Picks with the Brava in it.  All in all it's been a productive day.  Quite proud of myself, hope I can keep this up. Need to make a list of things I want to finish up this next round of Pants stashdown.

Yarn...beautiful yarn...

Pics are taken.  Now the uploading and updating of Ravelry begins.  YAY!  I've started with the Lion Brand pics first.  I've got all the pics taken for all 3 boxes.  There is still one box coming from Knit Picks.  I should be set for yarn for a while.  All these wonderful colors and textures.  Wonder what kind of amazing things I can make with this stuff.
