SLACKER!!!

Seriously, it has been a year since I posted on here? Shame on me. Well, the year has been filled with a serious roller coaster of ups and downs. I probably should have been posting on here, probably would have been therapeutic for me. I am still crocheting, I still need to lose weight, and I am still not a stay at home mom. However, I am planning to keep on blogging.

So, where to start. I still have the same job, and I still hate it. I think the hatred has become more pronounced, and I think it is starting to be reciprocated. But alas, what can you do. I still have a family to feed and cloth. My husband does work and makes good money, but he is changing jobs. He finally got a job where he can use his degree, but he will be taking a pay cut. My son is on two baseball teams, and man, that is EXPENSIVE!!! Do they realize these are kids....I have seen these little league baseball bats for $400!!! No freakin way I am buying that for my kid!! but, we still had to buy catcher gear, pay registrations, and there are the wonderful tournament fees.

The life of a baseball mom is busy, that is all I can say. We have baseball about 6 days a week, so we dress from laundry baskets, the house is always a mess, and we are hardly home. Seems we are only home long enough to make a mess and sleep anymore. But, one day, my son will be playing in the majors and supporting his wonderful mommy and daddy!

I did finish a few projects this past year. I made a mural of Portrait of Jesus, it turned out beautiful. I also made a few baby blankets along the way. I am now working on a bible cover. I found a few online, but none that really struck my fancy, so I am writing my own filet pattern for it. I will have to post a picture of the work in progress soon.

I am also going to try my hand at the wonderful world of self employment soon. Of course, I will have to keep my full time job whiel I launch things. I am setting up a studio in my garage and hope to begin airbrushing skateboards, batting helmets, and various other items soon. Once I am launched I can hopefully say goodbye to corporate America. What a wonderful world it will be then, at least my part of the world.

I will not bore everyone with the details of the last year. Suffice it to say I am glad that year has passed on and a new one has begun. I hope to blog more often, what is the use of this space if I don't?
