Tuesday, Git 'er done, or something akin to that


 I thought I would start today's post out with some cuteness.  Kelsa waiting for grandma to go get her blankie (the donut blankie Slug's made me) and wrap her up so she can have her 11:30 nap.  She has to have all the things she loves most, her, bink, her bottle, her blankie, her gammi.  She actually giggles when I wrap her up and put her on my lap as she knows she has everything she loves.  She goes to sleep, and I get into the shop. She is a sleepy little bunny. By the way those Tennies are for a 6-month baby that is how tiny she is.

I was able to get all the things I needed done yesterday for the shop and as those were the most important, I let the floors, and the fridge slip.  They are not going anywhere.

I will get them done today sometime.

I was supposed to go to Lil sis's tonight so we could do each other's hair, but we are putting that off as we are low on product and so many businesses that are normally open until 9 are now only open until 5 because they cannot get enough help.  I ran to Joanns last night and they had shortened their hours to 10 to 8 because of lack of staff.  When I got there it is now 10 to 7.  Aggravating because I often cannot get out during the day, and I go in the evening. So as Lil sis has a new hire today, we will have to make a run tomorrow for product. Then again, I should be packing for camping, and I am not sure how hubs will feel about that.  Oh well I will work it out. Maybe we will put it off for next week, like say Monday?

Dinner is a beef stir-fry as I have to use up garden things. Yummy and good for us. I have kind of decided on a menu for camping that will use up things we already have. 

So today, I have to:

1. hem a pair of pants

2. alter and bridesmaid dress

3. alter a mother of the bride

4. alter a bridesmaid dress

5. alter a bridesmaid dress

6. call a bride to come in for a fitting 

7. make a newborn skirt

8. run to Joanns before it closes

9. Try and fit in hemming 4 pairs of jeans and a little mending

If I can get all this done, I will be somewhat caught up before I go camping.  I really don't like to leave town behind as I have trouble enjoying myself.  I want to read books, take hikes, ride the four-wheeler, kayak, pick huckleberries and just veg.

We have also decided to go to our eldest daughter's place over Labor Day.  We will pick up Hub's mom on the way down.  Daughter wants help refinishing a table and I want to see her.  Plus, Hub's sister is coming the following week and we can sneak in a short visit with her.  But this means I have to be super organized in the shop and get stuff out! 


Well, I am off to get things done as quickly as possible.  What are you guys trying to accomplish today?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Kim

  4. Kelsa looks so sleepy! I have been trying to feel better today. A newborn skirt? What is that? About two inches? I have never heard of that garment.

  6. So cute! Hope she had a good nap, and I hope you were able to get some things done!
    Have fun camping! Good times and good memories! Although tent camping isn't as much fun anymore when I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. ;)

  8. She looks like she might topple over in sleep. Make your list like you did with lil sis, and execute. You got this and then you can enjoy your camping weekend.
