Party over...on to the Ravelympics!!

Graduation Party had many pitfalls, but all in all it was a good time had by all...amen it is over!

Onward and upward, as they say. Too much to get done and so little time left. Of course that is why I decided to add more excitement to my daily life and join the Ravelympics. (excitement - stress) those words are interchangeable!! Before you know it Frankie will leave for Fredonia, school will open and I had better be ready!!! Frankie still needs his wisdom teeth out, that pile on my desk at work still needs to be attacked....and now I need to get Danielle's Baby Shower going, because before you know it Jordan will be here!!

That is why I decided that the Ravelympics was a good idea :) get some of those Christmas gifts done and out of the way. Three pair of socks and three skull caps should keep me busy for 17 days. Goodness knows I need to be kept busy ;)....lol!

Will post pictures of the party later~

When it rains, it floods!!! or Murphy's Law....

Ok, so how come when one thing goes a little crazy, everything else goes to heck in a hand basket?
The graduation party is Sunday, and of course there is a baseball tournament in Lewiston all weekend....ok, we can deal with that....just have to work around it....and get everyone to chip in and help out. Get this place ready for a party, no problem! Of course, it would not be a sane life if something major didn't go wrong....so my van decides to take a crap, we are talking a MAJOR CRAP! Own payments on it, can't sell it, won't get a trade in on it, it doesn't work (!!!) and will now have to put major funding into it to make it drivable again.....and wouldn't you know it, the warranty expired when???? 2,000 miles ago, now doesn't that just figure.

Like I said, Murphy's Law....if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen big time, and it's gonna happen to me!!
So, to make myself feel better, I signed on for the Ravelympics!! Go Team Buffalo!
I have signed on for 3 skull caps and 3 pair of croc socks for Christmas gift giving.....it will be a miracle if I finish them all in 17 days, but heck, I always aspired to be an over achiever......and besides, it will get my mind of the van repairs!

One day at a time, and it will all work out, that's what my hubby always tells me, and so far he's been pretty much on the mark. Love that guy.
