Surviving At Home

It’s absolutely insane that I am still awake. It’s not like I didn’t do anything today. In the midst of getting the kids to school, keeping the house cool, and preventing the puppy from jumping on our furniture, I also got my car jump-started and the battery replaced (if only I could boast that I did that myself)! Never mind the fact that I was doing some client work as well.

And yet here I sit…at 2:38am…unable to sleep.

So why not redesign my website? I never have time during the day because of my VA client work (which I totally love; this is NOT a complaint!) so I’ve put my lack of sleep time to good use.

My body won’t agree with me when the alarm goes off in 4 short hours but hey, I’m flexible. This is yet another blessing about working from home.

I’ve also been doing a lot more writing and have put together a summer ecourse with lots of ways to keep your kids active and thinking this summer, rather than plugged into their favorite games. Believe me, this will be a HUGE challenge with my kids as well but they will be my guinea pigs for testing these activities. The program is totally free; you can see the signup box in the right sidebar.

Wishing you all a well-rested and productive Wednesday!

Although I’m pretty sore from this project (2 days later!) I am pretty happy that I took advantage of the beautiful sunny weather on Mother’s Day to clean out my perennial garden bed. I think it’s pretty obvious which is the before and which is the after picture!

The biggest challenge was not cutting down any new growth. Of course, I KNOW the best time to trim back perennials is in the fall but I got lazy and the weather turned cold quickly, so that chore never got done.

Despite the sore muscles, I’m happy with the outcome. I still have a couple of smaller areas to weed and make pretty so I’m thinking I should do that soon while I’ve got my outdoor motivation working!

WooHoo!! I have been looking forward to this event for a couple of weeks now! If you haven’t done so yet, go check out Mommyfest 2008 for fun contests, great interviews, and a chance to meet other moms online!

If it’s your first time to my blog, welcome! I’m Christina, mom of two wonderful girls and a cute but rambunctious puppy. I’m also a wife and WAHM who’s trying to make a full-time salary by working for myself rather than getting a J-O-B and working for someone else.

This is pretty much where I ramble about stuff…nothing in particular most days, just regular things that only moms would understand or appreciate. I’ll be writing more now since school is almost out and I like to share the different activities that I do with the kids during the summer. Would love to swap ideas with other moms who need to keep the kids busy during the summer months

Looking forward to meeting more of you!
