Not enough time ...

I am working on a redesign of the blog ... trying to learn HTML so that I can do it myself. It's a slow process as you can tell. I want the redesign up and working before I begin my memory lane posts, so I am constantly looking for "blog" time.

The trick - how do I find the time? Should I squeeze some time in between getting home from work and making dinner? Or while Patch is at his drum lesson? Or while Ryan is at her voice lesson? Even though the kids are older and much more self sufficient, our time is still monopolized by kid stuff!

This is how our weekend went ... Brian and Patch taking care of yardwork and washing cars. Ryan and I go to the mall to get a graduation dress, shoes for prom, jewelry for prom, bathing suits for the band trip, and new flips. We had three hours, and although it was a whirlwind trip through the mall, we got everything we needed! And, that was only Saturday. Saturday night we head to Baltimore for Patch's show at Bourbon Street. Sunday was filled with laundry, housework, grocery shopping and help with homework that wasn't done during the last week and a half off from school -for spring break - go figure!

So, now it's Monday and I am back at work. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't find time to work on the blog this weekend, but very greatful that I spent Saturday with Ryan. It won't be long before she heads off to ... stay tuned!

Finding treats online!

As you can see from these posts, I am loving finding fun new tricks to design and upgrade my blog! Stay tuned for new designs, etc.!

Since I started this blog after my kids were well on their way through high school, I have decided to take a trip down memory lane. Shortly, I will begin posting stories and highlights of our life before blogging. Stay tuned ...
