30boxes is my friend

I've decided that it's VERY important now for me to update my online calendar. This way I don't lose my way in life. I know that practically every weekend between Halloween and Christmas is booked. I just want to make sure to not forget where to be on certain days.

I'm starting to get really really excited about Gayle and Wil's Halloween party. It's going to be super! How do I know it's going to be super? Well, because it's always super...and this year it's at my house and there's just no way that can suck because I don't have far to go when it's time to go to bed. If you're reading this and don't want to kill me or get me fired and you want to come, shoot me an email at krystalc@gmail.com for directions. I'll hook you up. Gayle and fam will be in town Tuesday night so I'm hoping that means lots of folks are coming over to visit next week throughout the week. (if you come, please bring some wine...we don't get paid til next Friday teeehee)

Next week Dan starts his freakin awesome new job. I'm so so so so sososo SO glad that he is leaving georgehelper. His last job was stressful x 100 and not just for Dan, but for the entire world (meaning me). The paychecks were generous and steady, but our daily life was miserable because of that d-bag and finally we'll be able to have that period of our life over and we can move on to a job with those crazy things like, BENEFITS AND REAL CUSTOMERS OH...AND A RAISE.

Trevor has new friends. They look um, scary. Nuff said.

November 14 I'm having a Pampered Chef party at my house. I no longer sell it because I suck at selling stuff, but I do love the product and I dream about it at night when I'm not dreaming about my husband. (or that one I had last night where I dreamt that we adopted a little boy from Harlem and he kept asking me when the maid comes because the house is a mess. stupid adopted boy). So anyway, once that party ends, there is a birthday party for Tree, Tyler, Sarah and Billy. So if you don't want to kill me or get mre fired, please come and partay and BYOB and something to fondue. I'm sad to say that Sarah won't even be there but we're gonna drink to her as well. In fact, I'm not sure if Billy will be there. Whatever, since when have we needed the guests of honor to be at our parties?
If you CAN'T make it but would like to order something from Pampered Chef, you can still place an order! (I knew you were worried about that) Just go to http://www.pamperedchef.biz/chefamyskitchen, go to the Our Products section, select the link below the products you would like to purchase, and enter my first and last name in the fields provided.

stop the world.

Things are going much to quickly around here these days.

My mom retired, Tess and Kendall have each had birthdays, we have a wedding shower coming up, a Halloween party to throw and Gayle and Wil will be here in a few weeks. In the midst of that we have work and daily life and meals and laundry. Next month we have Mom's birthday, Jake's birthday, Thanksgiving, a campfire party, a pampered chef party, Tree's birthday, then before you know it, there's a new month and Max's birthday, my birthday, Amy and Tyler's wedding, Christmas then Trevor's birthday! I'm not ready for all of this. I'm not ready for any of it. Help!

Those are the things keeping me up at night. My head starts going and then my feet wiggle and then I toss and turn and try to figure out how we'll manage to do all of that and still ummm...pay our bills.
I get out of bed, make my coffee and unclench my jaw. I chug 4 tylenol and tell myself over and over that these are all wonderful things, not bad things. We're so lucky to have babies to have birthdays for. We're so lucky to have friends to play with. I believe it too. I really do. I know that we're in a good place in life. I just need to make sure there's enough wine and cheese and crackers to get us through it with sanity.

I'm not complaining at all...I'm just scared that during all of this massive time of fun, someone will figure out that I'm seriously lacking in fabulosity. I want everything to be wonderful and it sometimes freaks me the hell out.
