Phew! What a whirlwind kind of a week. Why is it that anytime I come back from a “vacation” it takes nearly a week to try to get back into the groove of things? Just taking those few days off last week to do the Walmart trip has thrown off my weekly schedule tremendously. Why is it so hard to get back into the groove of thing? It’s like my mind is still in Arkansas.
The first part of this week I spent the majority of the time slicing and dicing up the video from the Shareholder’s meeting. Trying to trim a video down to 10 minutes is a very hard task to accomplish. There are many good parts that just have to be left on the cutting room floor, sadly. I’m glad that I got it all edited though and up on
my youtube channel if you want to check it out or missed it when I posted it earlier in the week.
I tried a new hairstyle this week. I don’t know about where you live, but where I stay it is extremely hot. Throwing my hair in a ponytail everyday just wasn’t cutting it anymore, I wanted something cute (not that ponytails aren’t cute, its just that mine is small because I’m in the middle of the growing out phase, so there isn’t much ponytail to speak of). I took to youtube to find a cute messy up-do tutorial. I think the end result is really cute. This style will probably be something I rock a lot this summer instead of a ponytail. BTW, youtube is fabulous for finding tutorials on a lot of things.
Since we barely had any sleep on my trip, this week I’ve been trying to get a few hours that I missed squeezed in. It seems that I’m starting to get more tired earlier in the day than I’m used to. By like 8pm I’m ready to go to bed. I make myself go to sleep later just so I’m not up at the crack of dawn the next morning. If you don’t know, I do not do mornings. At. All. Not a morning person in the slightest. Somedays I really wished I were a morning person, though. I think of all the things I could get done before the kidlets wake up but when that alarm clock goes off…the snooze button is my best friend.
Since it is beginning to get really hot here, the kidlets and I have to enjoy the sunny weather in the morning (before lunch) when its not as hot as its going to be for that day. Which is OK, its just finding something fun to do indoors later in the day that can be a problem.
What do you do with the kids on hot summer afternoons? What can of activities do you like to do to pass the time when stuck indoors?
This is a bit of a random post with my thought process jumping from one subject to the other. I apologize. But it pretty much sums up my week of getting back on schedule. Oh and for those that are wonder. No, I haven’t unpacked yet. My bag is still sitting in the same place I laid it when I first came home. Maybe I should just leave it packed for the next trip?
NOTE:
I took the photos in this post on my iPhone. The quality isn’t that great, I know, but I’m playing around with different apps to try and find one that produces semi-good photos. If you know of any good photo apps for iPhone, let me know.
