Long time, No post- Update

Since I started blogging over a year ago I have never had such a break in my postings. Guess you can tell Madeline & I have been quite busy. The school year started off great! Madeline loves school and has adjusted quickly to the early bedtime and early rising. I also am used to the early rising, but can;t seem to get used to the falling asleep early. I am going to bed now around 10pm, which has messed me up with house cleaning and getting things done I normally did in the evening. (blog posting for example) Below are random pictures from the last 2 weeks. My camera battery needed re-charging and I was so darn busy I didn't get around to even charging it up to take pictures like I normally do. So here are a few.


Labor Day- swimming at our friends.....in pic, Sarah and Madeline


Madeline having fun in her tube..

This is what kept me so busy. Each year I participate in a kids clothing consignment sale. The 2 women, a mother and daughter team, let me work the sale. Well they let me work quite a bit because I have so much fun doing it. (of course I get to shop first before anyone else) I worked over 25 hours in 3 days and one other day on the weekend, on top of working some of my full-time job to. I get to see so many people I haven't seen in a while plus some of my Gymboree shoppers too. I made really good money this year (you earn 70% of what you price your clothes & you can earn more by volunteering and referring co-signers too) I am happy to report I made more than any sale I have done and this is my 6th time to particpate. SO worth the time and effort that goes into pricing,tagging, & hanging, your clothes! $$$$$

This is the time I am now getting to work. I took a picture of the clock after getting here this morning. As you can see it is an early morning. I have never been a morning person but have adjusted well and enjoy my morning time. My favorite part of the morning is when I am dropping off Madeline in carpool, she gets out, says, " I love you mommy", and then as I drive away I watch her walking in to school, with her backpack perfectly on her back, in her cute little uniform jumper, walking head high like the big girl she is. UGH, so sweet! How fast they grow.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I plan on catching up on blogging and vsiting and catching on on my favorite blogs (at right)
