I wondered where you where!



I went school shopping so we drove to the "city". I did 2 1/2 hours of crocheting on the drive. I made DD and DS each a hat. (DS is not quite finished.)

I have been crazy busy and haven't made anything I feel like major failure

Same here...I've been getting ready for school, so I haven't done ANYthing yet this month.

I did really well in June, and also in July even though there was not an official game. But since I slacked off all summer with school planning...I gotta get that done. And once the school year starts, I am not sure how productive I will actually be, although I will try.

Of what has been posted thus far....awesome stuff mommas!!! Keep up the good work. I might have something to share by the end of the month. One can dream!

School starts here next Monday. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few moments while naps are being taken to get something done. Having a teenager that needs 1 thing from every store in a 30 mile radius is really taking it's toll

I've been ignoring that I need to get ready for school that starts next week and I am the teacher I've also not been posting so much to make myself craft more. If I am going to get this blanket done I need to sew sew sew, and I always fit knitting in.

School doesn't start till the 27th here. Thankfully boys are easy to shop for. I just have to drive to buy him Levi's.
Irishmama, just pop them some pop corn and tell them to watch a movie. Then tell the teenager if she wants XYZ she will keep the younger kids happy and quite for the next 2 hours

I don't even have a kid in school yet and this past week I've been slacking. Family is is town, so I've been constantly keeping my house clean (this is why it gets messy...it's REALLY tough to keep it perfect! lol), plus I'm diving into my Quantitative Analysis course...that stuff is hard! Though tonight I'm hoping to be able to get some sewing done!!

We're lucky, school here doesn't start until the day after labour day, but other than pens, pencils, and all those type of supplies I don't need to go shopping. I bought the kids shoes a while ago when they were on sale and backpacks a couple of weeks ago. My kids wear uniforms and I bought all that stuff at the end of last year when Old Navy had a sale, so luckily we are set. I told my DH "Aren't you glad you have a wife who buys ahead and you don't have to worry about school shoes and stuff now?" His response "You just have a weakness for shopping and buying shoes especially!" LOL! True but at least I try to think ahead I always get excited and sad this time of year, I am excited to find out who my kids teachers will be and seeing some of my mum friends, but sad because I miss having my kids home with me all day. I am going to try to be productive on this very rainy day today though.
