The Sewing Mom

I feel like I’ve been going non-stop for the last 2 weeks, basically ever since school let out for the summer. I get up early in the morning, work 5-6 hours, then spend the afternoon and evening trying to entertain my daughter, clean house, cook dinner and do the laundry. Throw in a couple of softball tournaments and, over the last few days, all the landscaping work I’ve been doing, and I’m exhausted. Guess that’s why it felt so good to just sit and do absolutely nothing this morning except lift my cup of coffee from the end table to my mouth.

Let me tell you though, by the end of the afternoon, I sure could have used a nice cold energy drink to keep me going, a BluFrog energy drink would’ve certainly done the trick!

Speaking of BluFrog, check out their “It’s a Blu World” contest for a change to win a grand prize valued at up to $3,500, a trip for 2 to the winner’s choice of either, New York City, Chicago, Orlando or Aspen. Oh man, I’d love to go to Aspen, that would be so amazing!

There are 3 ways to enter the contest, 1) leave a comment on the BluFrog page, 2) Twitter about the contest, or 3) write a blog post about the contest and leave your post URL here. Don’t wait to enter, this contest ends July 17, 2009.

Hard to believe, but I’ve actually been able to sit here this morning, enjoy several cups of coffee, spend time catching up on email, and all in the peace and quiet while daughter and dh are at softball practice. This has truly been an excellent morning!

I am willingly putting an end to my peaceful morning and heading out into the heat to do some much needed landscaping work. I’m sure I’ll be jumping into the pool regularly to cool down, but I hope to get most of the bushes trimmed by the end of today. I got started on this major project this past Wednesday and am actually almost half way finished. It’s times like this when I realize just how many bushes we have around our house!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Saturday and is able to enjoy some family time!
