I know that many of my friends, my family and especially my husband have long suspected me of being somewhat insane. Well the moment of truth has arrived. I have proof for many of you that I have lost my marbles (and for those who identify with me I think you should check on your own level of insanity). With the help of a good friend of mine I am making a regency corset. I have ordered the pattern today and when it gets here we will take measurements and order all of the pieces that we need. Things like stays and busks, laces and grommets. Doesn't it sound fun. We shall see how it goes.

Summer
I really think that summer goes faster than any other time of year. I am not sure if it is the vacations, the holidays or what but, it flies by. Even the weeks when there is not a whole lot going on time flies. I am either doing something or planning for something or recovering from something. I really do enjoy everything that is going on I am just amazed at everything that happens in such a short time period. It doesn't help that I have been on the go since March. July is the first month that I have not gone to either Colorado or St. George. Not to worry though, the family reunion is this month and so next week everyone is coming to my house instead. I am trying to get everything cleaned and organized yet again. Now if only I could figure out how to keep it that way for more than 5 minutes together. Oh well, I just look at it as training for my future job as super mom. (By the time I figure it out the kids will be all grown up!) In parting I miss Seaside!

I love playgroup!
Playgroup is all about the children. It teaches them to play together. It helps them learn. It furthers their mental and physical development. (Well mostly.)
I will let you in on a deep dark secret. Playgroup is about the mommies getting out of the house and having contact with other adult humans. There are weeks when it is the only thing that keeps me from yanking out my hair and running down the street. Long live playgroup and the mommies it saves.

Blog pressure
Alright you win. I am posting. I am not promising that it will be interesting or even make sense but I am posting. The entire month of June I spent somewhere else. I was all over the place. Some of it was amazing and wonderful (thank you Heather and Michelle)! Some of it was fun but exhausting (girls camp). At last I am home and beginning to get my life back into some semblance of order. I am definitely thrilled to put the suit case back up in the closet. I hope that it is quite a while before I have to even think of looking at it again. It really is nice to be home. I missed my family. Surprisingly enough I think they may have actually missed me. Maybe my next post will be all fancy and have all sorts of pictures on it. Until then be grateful that I posted at all ;)
