Walking Backwards

I swear, I'm still alive. We have just been super busy lately. I realized yesterday that I have three weeks before school starts and have been trying to get as much stuff done each day that I can. I know I am going to be even busier starting in September, so I don't want to fall behind on everything that needs to be taken care of. Also, we have had plans every weekend for the past two weeks and have plans every weekend until the end of September. Annie's baby shower is coming up in two and a half weeks and we still haven't done everything we need to do for that. I want to get the house cleaned from top to bottom so I can let it go a little for the four months I am taking Spanish class. I need to set up the backyard garden for fall vegetables, which is going to take awhile as I am doing it all organically. The front yard is a wreck and needs to be at least weeded and all the dead things removed. I seriously need to work on potty training with the little monster. He seems entertained to pee on the sliding glass window. I still haven't made all the jams I want to make and the season is almost over (I don't want to be left with eight million canning jars). I have tons of sewing piling up in my basket and my calendar alerted me at the end of last month that I need to start all of my handmade Christmas gifts. I also was informed that I get to host Thanksgiving with my side of the family this year (I'm secretly happy about this). Now only to keep up with book group and get Nico ready for preschool. Anyone want to come over and help, or at least calm me down a bit? Tension Tamer tea just doesn't seem to be doing it and we're out of wine :)

Good news - Joe's cancer screening came back negative. Yay for that!

One last thing before I return to life's labours:
