End of School Again...

It is that time of year again, the end of school. With five kids in four different schools I am running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. The spawn have different schedules of half days and off days and field days and graduations and more. So today I am off to field day number one, the second one is Monday. I also will be dragging my second oldest along since he is off school today. As of one week from today they will all be done with school! Then starts the chaos of summer, weeee!


I am also busy trying to make some teacher appreciation gifts. So far here are a few ideas I am kicking around:

At least those are some ideas I want to do. This weekend will be hectic because the hubby is working, the two oldest are job hunting, and my baby girl will turn 9 on Monday! Arghh! Nothing like a bit of insanity to keep you sane right?

Cleaning Urges, but I'm NOT pregnant!!!!

Yes, after pushing out five little miracles from my hoochie I am pretty aware when I am pregnant. Besides, after the last one we did some, um, more permanent measures to avoid pregnancy for the rest of our lives. So WTF is up with my nesting/ cleaning urges lately? I'm wondering if it's because school is coming up, THANK GOD!!!! And the mini-monsters will be headed off to learnin' and I feel a need to be organized for this? I am also going back to work tomorrow so maybe that's it?
So far in the past few days I have completely cleaned my bedroom, caught up on ALL laundry ( a miracle of it's own!), re-organized and cleaned my cleaning closet, and now I am tackling my 16 year old's bedroom. What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment! Whatever the reason I am trying to take advantage of this because who knows when it might strike again!
So on that note I leave you with one of my favorite commercials of all time:

Sorry, I have been missing...
It's been a hell of a time lately. I did my first official craft fair and discovered what kind of people do not buy my stuff. Apparently born-agains do not like my stuff. It was a terrible experience. But I will persist and try again!
It's also the end of the school year so I have been crazy with field day, field trips, and other school related craziness. Friday is the last day and then the insanity of summer starts, Yeah!
While working at my daughter's field day yesterday I managed to get a pretty bad sunburn, on my neck. Yep I am a "redneck", seriously. Thankfully my aloe plant had enough leaves to slather on the juice and it has been a lifesaver!
The hubbs has been on call this week and has been called out a ton. Nice for the overtime, but sucks because he's gone so much. Thankfully he goes off call on Thursday.
Speaking of Thursday, it's my baby girl's birthday! Yep, the baby will be 6 years old! I can't believe it's been so long since I had a baby! You see for so long I was always pregnant or nursing. And no, there is no new babe coming along, my womb is closed for business.
So, yeah, that's a catch-all, catch up on my life lately...
