Friday Five

1. Just when you think homeschooling is getting easier, you have a doozy of a day. Oh well. We go up, we go down, but the work get's done and I know the next day will be better.
2. Sam's graduation quilt is started. Its all cut out, 1 block is done, and I have started chain piecing all the 10 inch blocks.
3. I bought Amazon Prime today....I hope its worth it. I ordered a ton of stuff for Christmas using a friends Prime, so I know I love it and I use it, but dang, I didn't want to PAY for it! LOL
4. Its going to be a busy weekend. I'm taking Sam to get her hair cut tonight, Cass has to work tomorrow, which means chauffering her back and forth, I believe Tim is taking 2 of the kids to an art museum during the day, and Sunday we're having lunch with friends and then back here for the Denver game at 4:30. Somewhere in between I need to clean house, do laundry, take down the rest of the Christmas decorations, SEW and relax. Prozac, please!
5. Have you met my cats? We adopted Captain in July and Princess in December. They are both rescues and as sweet as can be. Captain is aloof and quiet, doesn't get into much and minds his own kitty business. Princess, on the other hand, gets into everything! She is your typical curious kitten and you never know where you're going to find her!
   

New Years Goals

Good morning! Or afternoon, evening, whatever it is in your neck of the woods,

Today is Jan 5 and I've been thinking and thinking of my new years goals and I'm not sure I'm any closer to deciding on them now then I was a few days ago.  But, I figure, its time to get something written down and maybe something will come to me as I sit here and type.

Personally:

• I want to become a home school ninja. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm hoping that I'll have a clearer definition by the end of the school year. We;re homeschooling our son now but will probably be homeschooling him and our youngest daughter next year.
• I want to commit to this blog better. I know I said the same thing last year, but I really mean it this time! 
• I want to be more patient with my family. Listen more, yell less.  Enjoy today and not worry about tomorrow.
  

In the sewing room:

• My number one has to be my daughter's graduation quilt. Its hard to believe I have another one graduating, but its true and its no less emotional this year. I have everything bought, I just need to get going on it. June will be here before I know it.
• Finish quilting Sew Spooky. All that's left is the bat border and then one outside border. I'm going to finish this this year!
• UFOs.....there are a few laying around....a patriotic table square that needs quilted, a gift for someone that needs quilted, pajama pants for my son that need finished. I need to get this stuff done and off my to do list!
• I want to go back to setting weekly goals for myself. Big, small, something I need to work on or something I'm distracted by this week, just something to sew.
