In Progress?

Well, I have been in a sort of project hiatus this week. Lots to do but did not finish anything... I have been very busy taking care of 4 kids, cooking, cleaning, Young Women's, kids homework, and everything else... Did I mention that I am the YW President and have NO counselors or adviser's so it is just me doing all the activities and lessons... I get stressed by it often... While the older two boys are at school I have been trying to tackle a few projects in between entertaining the 4 yr old and 2 yr old... Here are a few.... Tackling the playroom/sun room. I have been working on this room for 2 weeks... I got rid of 3 garbage bags full of old toys and stuff animals. This picture looks messy but, in fact it was much worst. Hoping to get this done over the weekend...
I am tired of walking on toys... My motto for birthday's and Christmas will soon be "Please just send $$ for the kids savings accounts..." Got to pay for their missions and college somehow... :O)

I have been doing A LOT of these....... (I could not stand it so I cleaned the dishes right after this picture was taken... Do you feel lucky that you got to see it?)


And this is a never ending process at my house... In fact I put another load in the wash after this picture..... Now I need to go put those clothes away.... dread dread dread.... Maybe I will wait till the boys get home from school and make them do it? Now that is a thought..... :O)



I have been working on this "little" project that is turning out to be not little at all... It is a binder for ALL my recipes... I am also working on setting up a family recipe blog for my side of the family... I am REAL excited about that. Can not wait til it is done and everyone starts entering in their favorite recipes... Yum Yum Yum!! :O)
Also in the picture is my sewing machine that needed a break since I have been sewing up a storm... I have been making baby presents like crazy.. Just need to finish up some for my sis-in-law who is due in June.... Yeah Brindee!!! :O)




And finally, I have been painting our new bed that the hubs built. It took him just a few hour over 2 nights. He is so good... But my job is the painting... Now these pictures are just showing the priming that I have been doing.. Just finished that this morning... Why is it taking me so long you ask? Did I mention that I have 4 kids.... 2 still at home during the day that I have to keep busy and quiet since the hubs works nights? And I am the YW President with NO counselors or adviser's...





It is just a fact that I live with EVERYDAY!!! But, I love every minute of it.. Even if you do not hear me "Say it" "Out loud".... Okay, my little chick-a-dees I know you all know that movie quote... Tell you what.... I will put a little something together to mail out for 2 lucky ladies that can tell me the movie, character name, and the actor that said it. Come on ladies do not let me down....... I know you know it.... So leave me a comment. I will randomly pick and post the winners on Friday!!! This should be fun... My first drawing.... I am so giddy!!! :O) Until then! Have a great week....

    Your bed will be gorgeous!

    So why don't you have any counselors or advisers? That is a HUGE job to tackle alone.

  6. I knew it was WC Fields but then I cheated to look at the rest. Life happens and when it isn't busy I am thinking I am going to be dead. Thanks for linking up!

  10. Your bed looks amazing! I can't believe you even had time to prime it in the mist of all you have going on! And your Calling w/o councilors? That is just ridiculous! I hope you don't have too many girls under your wing b/c some Wards can have dozens! Do you at least have Advisers to tackle each level? I hope so! That Calling is a crazy amount of work - and to do it alone while you are raising 4 kids?! Wow, you deserve a badge just for that.

    Thanks for Hookin' Up with me at my first party!
