Ohhhh the joys...

Well, being sick sucks.  And the past several days it's been all five of us.  I think we're finally all on the mend, but we all still have some lingering issues.  I guess if I have to find a blessing in all this it's that we were sick during the heat wave.  We couldn't get out for more than one reason.  So hopefully, we're all better by next weekend when it's back in the 80's.

And because of being sick, I've definitely not been able to workout. :(  But I've made my peace with that.  I can't stress about things I can't help.  It is what it is.

Today, we're all feeling a little better.  Everyone is still sick, but I think we're on the mend.  I hope so anyway!  But the last few days have gotten me in a crafty kick and I've come up with a project list.

After I spend today getting caught up on laundry and disinfecting everything, I'm hoping I can get to work on some projects this week.

I've been working on a book page flower wreath for my mom since December.  It's THE most time consuming project I've ever started.  It didn't get finished in time for Christmas and I've worked on a few times since we moved here but I'd really like to finish it up and take it to her on vacation.  Seriously, though, I'm thinking it's been about 25 hours in the making.  :)

I'm also going to make fabric travel high chairs for Sophia and Sawyer.  I bought the material over the weekend and I'd LOVE to get those done soon.

I'm working on travel binders for our vacation trip.  They are for all the boys.  I've gotten a lot of stuff done for them already but I need to get a few more things finished up.  That is something else I'd like to get done this week.  I reallllly want to get them sent to Ohio before vacation so my nephews can use them on the way to Tennessee.

I've also had a goal for awhile to go paperless in the kitchen.  No paper towels and no paper napkins.  We already don't use paper plates or plastic ware (we have some on hand for when we are camping.  But we also have reusable camping dishes.  It just depends on the access to water where we are camping).  I found an amazing tutorial online of making reusable paper towels so I'd love to work on that in the next few weeks.  But I've decided not to buy the supplies for them until I get my other projects finished first.

I have a bad habit of starting several projects and not finishing any of them.  Hopefully I can fix that now.  :)

Anyway, my hope is to get started working out tomorrow.  Sadly, I think my hopes of the 5k are pretty much shot.  :(
