My stressfilled week

Looking ahead, I'm already anticipating the many gray hairs that will suddenly appear from my week of nerve racking things that are ahead of me!

First, Lia Sophia - I decided to become an adviser with Lia Sophia and in theory I love it, the pay is hopefully going to be well, but the jewelry, well I love jewelry so that's a big bonus! BUT I have my 1st!!! party on Tuesday and I'm so nervous!! SO, SO, SO nervous!! I just know I'm going to be stumbling over everything and literally be reading off of my notecards!

Next - Enrichment - this is a little easier, because it's on a topic I know a bit more about, but again, I'll be standing up talking to people, I absolutely hate that, it makes me a little sick just thinking about it, and I know these people are my close, dear friends, but I think it makes it worse in a lot of ways for me! If it were complete strangers at least, if I made mistakes, I'd not have to see them again!

Then finally, while Josh is gone away AGAIN for the National Guard, I have to give a talk at church, which I haven't had to do in over 3 YEARS, I'm sooo nervous about these trio of events, if I don't get an ulcer after this week I'll be surprised!

Collin





My baby turned 3 last Friday! I can hardly believe my little guy has become such a big boy. When I asked him what type of birthday party he wanted he replied, "Neenage, Butand, Ninda, Urtles", which is aka for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Appartently TMNT is not as important in the party making world as I hoped, I couldn't find them at Walmart, Target or Meijer and I just thought, forget this, I'll just make something.

I made these little masks for the kids, it was just my boys and Elise and Garrett and I stuck a toy turtle on top of the tower of cupcakes and called it good. It was stressless and a lot less work than last year!

Collin was so excited, he kept repeating, "it's my birthday, it's my birthday", he got a bike, TMNT toys, Lightening McQueen toys, Nerf gun and Drawing board.
