some ups and some downs

Today has been a day to be sure. I started the day by cleaning up our bedroom. got the main part of the bedroom finished. It looks awesome. However, the closet and the bathroom in there are not so nice. Gonna hopefully get those finished later. And today the rest of the day i'm wanting to try to get Ivy's bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen, along with all the clothes, finished. That sounds like a lot, but the living room and kitchen shouldn't take too long, and most of what's wrong with Ivy's room is stuff she can take care of. I'll probably just finish that tomorrow morning. She's been doing a better job since Daddy got involved, lol. He threatened to take away anything she wasn't treating with respect. And the first thing that would go would be her cable box. SOO, she went right in there and picked it all up. Funny how they behave when daddy says something.

I've got the rundraiser stuff in today. But i think i'll wait to deliver it until tomorrow morning. That way we aren't making an extra trip. We have to go grocery shopping anyway, and that way we are already over there. We've got to hit Ruben's job, although i'm thinking about sending Lindsay's with him tonight so we don't have to stop by there. And then we have to hit natures treasures and drop the stuff off for Linda and the other order from there. Then we will probably hit his mom's house and drop her stuff off. Even if she doesn't like what she ordered, she will have to deal with it. I'm not paying 10 bucks for what she ordered. It's not worth it to me. Hopefully she steps up, cause if she doesn't i'm gonna be pissed off.

I ordered this really cute tripple picture frame that says happy loving family, a magnetic bookmark, and then my mom ordered me this decorating tool for cakes. TOTALLY crazy since i don't need it anymore. But it will be good to use to teach Ivy how to decorate, and it will be good for filling cakes and stuff with. I still think it's awesome, and i'm sure i will use it. It seems a bit easier than filling the bags, but that's probably just because i'm not used to doing it yet. Hopefully once this class is done, i'll be a lot more comfortable with taking care of that.

I'M SUPER EXCITED! But at the same time, very nervous too. I know i will enjoy it. I just hope it's not as hard as i think it's going to be. I have NO IDEA what's going to happen, and that always has me a little mixed up and stressy. I know that i'll be fine once i'm in there and just going with the flow. It's the buildup that kills me, lol. It's just over a week away, and that has me a little crazy. I've still got to find out about the class supply list, and hopfully get the money in to get the stuff on the list. I need to find out if she can mail it on monday so we can be sure it will be here in time to get everything picked up.

I'm hopeing i didn't do something wrong at Brita's. She had called every other week there for three times in a row, and today it's been a month since the last time. I just hope i didn't do something to offend them, or that i wasn't doing a good enough job. I'm willing to work hard and fix anything i didn't get done, and i hope she sees that by the way i handled everything with that first and second time out there. Maybe her husband has just been able to keep up with it well, or maybe she's feeling better and able to keep up with things, and all that. I don't know. At least we know now that if i do get to go back out there that she can just call in a 14 day pass for me instead of having to meet me up there. We will see. Hopefully she calls again. I enjoy cleaning out there. The hard work is nice when i leave it looking better than when i came in. I haven't heard her complain, and i'm hopeing that that means it was good enough. I will be extreamly dissapointed if it doesn't work out with us. This is something that i feel like i'm accomplishing something instead of just cleaning my own house :(

I DESPERATELY need to find someone to go do something with other than Ruben. Don't get me wrong, i love spending time with my family, but there are times that i just need a break. A chance to be me, without having to worry about the kids, or rather or not Ruben is bored out of his mind. I was going to get the chance to have friends come down next month, but it just didn't work out and they aren't gonna get to. Hopefully they still get to come up in November. I just know that i need to do something different, and soon. I feel like i'm reaching my breaking point. Thing with the money are starting to get tight again, and they won't ease up until December, if even then. We are looking at a tight couple months, and it's stressful trying to make ends meet. I'm just hopeing that i can find a way to afford to get the girls new costumes for halloween. There are a few things that we might pick up for Ivy. And i'm hopeing to make a good pirate costume for Desiree since that's what she wanted when we were at the store the other day. It's 14 bucks though, so i might have to see if i can't piece it together for cheaper depending on how much we have the next couple weeks. It's frustrating.

I am hopeing to go out and take one of our long walks this weekend again. We got out there super early last week, and it was great cause we figured out my camera. I need to make sure to bring my tripod to get some of the pictures i wanted to get but my hand was shaking too much. We can pick up our drinks and snacks for that morning tomorrow while we are grocery shopping. Then that way once we get up and around we will be all ready to go and get down there. Get everything together tomorrow night, so there are no moments of rushing around to find anything. We'd have it all ready to go and we could get out there early. There are still a lot of things we haven't gotten to take good shots of, and i want to get a few good ones of the girls while i'm down there this week. As long as Ruben's up for it. We will see what happens. I know we can get our errands done early tomorrow and then Ruben can get to bed EARLY. And then we can get up early saturday, do our fun, and get home early enough that we can take a good nap and then he can be up and around when his friends come by. And if i can get a nap, i might be able to be awake a little longer and hang out with them too. Could potentially be super cool. Again, we will have to just wait and see.

For now, i need to get off the computer and work on things some more. I've still got a lot i want to get accomplished tonight before my shows start, i have to cook dinner, and i have to get Ruben up. Hopefully i can get it done. I'm not feeling very up to cleaning right now, lol.
