Time is a Precious Gem

Wow, I can't believe that it's been 7 months since I last blogged!  Wow!  Guess I've been a little busy!  Well, anyway, I got the urge tonight! That sounds like a confession!  "Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it's been 7 months since I last blogged!"  lol!


For a months now I have been obsessed with the Facebook garage sale sites.  I was really in to it and it occupied many hours of my precious time!  I did sell a crap load of stuff though!  I finally got over it!  Yeah!  I was on like 20 sites, no joke, and now I cut down to 8.  Three of them are my own sites, and I guess I can't abandon them.  I would like to, but really don't know how!  When I tried to "leave" one group, it said that anyone could be an administrator if I left!  Oh, nice!  I just sold something last week though.  It just took hours and hours to take photos, download them, and put descriptions and prices on them! No thank you!


My daughter is graduating next month!  I am in total denial still!  My husband and mom have been working on organizing things.  Thank God for them and their skills!  I just hope everything will fall together for her party in less than a month now!  I have been doing invitations though and am ordering the cake.  I'm good for somethings!  Oh, and I scanned a thousand photos!


Track has been keeping us busy.  Both kids are in it.  They are both long distant runners, and my son does the long jump.  We have track meets twice a week, and we have been freezing our butts off!  i am posting a couple of photos, one of Elle and one of Dalton.

Elle also had you senior prom this month.  She looked beautiful!  

I can't believe how time has flown, and it makes me realize how precious our time is and how we should use it wisely!  Our son is a freshman, and in 3 more years he will be gone too!  It is mind boggling to also realize how old I am!  I will be 44 in July!  Wow!


I keep hoping to hit the lotto so we could make our lives a little easier.  It would be nice to get a chance to slow down and actually start enjoying some family time!  I am working full-time as a sales rep for an advertising publication and part-time at a grocery store in customer service.  My husband, Jeff, works as a truck driver for a bread company and does refereeing on the side.


My son is also on a traveling basketball team.  My husband drove him to Kansas this weekend six hours one way for a tournament.  Thank God we only have one more tournament out of state.  I may have to drive him to Minneapolis in June.  I hate driving, let alone driving on my own in a city I don't know!  Dalton and I got lost in Iowa City!  omg!

Well, I guess you can see why I have had no time to blog!  I used to blog when I had insomnia.  Now I take sleeping pills and sleep like a baby!  


Well, I just wanted to get something out to let you all know that I'm still alive!  So sorry to those of you who read my blog!  I will try to keep up at least one a week, or once a month!  lol  Remember to take time to smell the roses because one day they will be gone!  Time is precious, so  make time for your families!  I need to make time to exercise too!
