Well, today was kind of a stressful day. The stresses of life are definitely carrying over into our home life, and it's frustrating. We have all of this stuff to plan out. I have all of these things I want to do - places I want to go, but we're trying to make sure we have more down/family time as well. So, I'm trying to plan out our upcoming adventures without booking up entire weekends. I think I finally have that figured out. This weekend we have another great weekend of no plans, which I'm really excited about. Then, it all begins. The following week we have a family reunion, next - the fair, next - the apple orchard, next - the Renaissance Festival, next - our anniversary (it is ON a Saturday, you better believe we'll be doing something!), next - the Corn Maze, next - a birthday party. Then, we have a little break before Halloween activities kick into gear. So, it's a lot to fit in. I know there are a few other birthday parties we typically attend in this time frame - so it will be a matter of availability if we're invited to those this year. We also have a local family festival next, and a playdate with Olivia's BFF coming up to add into the mix. I like being busy, and I LOVE experiencing life with the girls as much as possible, but I think our business definitely starts taking a toll on our family. Time to start making better decisions with our time :)
We also have some money stuff to deal with. Christian needs new tires, so we're on the search for a good deal on that, and possible financing (no interest, of course) options out there. We also need to get the girls' swing set. I've always wanted to get one, but never wanted to spend the money. Our parents and some of our friends chipped in for Amelia's birthday to put towards a swing set, so now we HAVE to do it. Of course, I'd like to get it, and get it up, before the snow flys, so we're on the search for that.
We just have so much planning and "figuring out" to do, and issues going on that it's just plain stressful. Just have to keep pushing through, and work through everything.
So, most of our day was consumed with that. I did get this cute picture of Chuy tonight though, what a cutie!
