Fail

Whoa it's been a busy couple of weeks, like crazy busy.
Summer Vacation-itis? yup
The fourth? Obviously I don't have my own special calender.
Thing 1 turning OMG 12? Oh yeah.
Gardening? On occasion?
Crocheting? Absolutely! Knitting? Well it's in the project bin. Sewing? Does getting a brilliant idea that doesn't translate to reality count? If it does I am amazing.

Regardless life is good. It's calm. I love it and am just starting to get my summer routine going. So why is this post titled fail? Well that's simple really. I am laughing at me pretty hard right now because I am HILARIOUS! I am a pseudo homemaking, crafty blogger. I post all these amazing (I think) things I pull off. I even admit my defeats but I *try* to stay positive here because I *try* to stay positive in real life. I swear I try really, REALLY hard.

That all being said I sat down tonight to write a to do list, of all the to do lists I need. No really I did and in that moment I realized as a stay at home mom that is a pretty big fail. I laughed and kept going. I used to have a home management binder that I followed every.single.day. I need to get back to that but since we've bought our house last August (OMG it's almost been a year and I never had a housewarming party! oops) I've had a hard time adjusting. August purchase house. Go back to college. Kids go back to school. By October I had found my groove. Mr. Bunny got into the accident and my groove died or at least went on vacation. Fast forward a few months, I had my groove back then he went back to work. I was overwhelmed second semester. Found my groove. Kids are home, groove leaves again. Now I am getting emails from my college. Sign up for classes they say. I look at my house that was going to impeccable again and FAIL.


Sign up the kids for free swimming classes. Take them the first three classes and spend two hours in the middle of the day at said swimming classes. Get sunburnt, listen to miserable kids on the way home. "We wasted the day." they say. Lessons are of course scheduled after lunch and to them the WHOLE day is gone. Take them last day of last week and get heat rash and a burn in places that make no sense. Kids sit me down and explain they are losing summer vacation and don't even like it. Not even one little bit. Sitting there covered in after burn cream and hydro-cortisone think; FAIL. We are no longer doing that.

Last but not least. My favorite of the fails. Fermented Suint Method. Serious MEGA FAIL. I got this brilliant idea it should dry in the sun. It's hot and not going to rain. It is the most brilliant idea ever. Well until it decided that every time I say one more night it pours while I am sleeping. We know how this is going to end right? Bugs, ridiculous bug-pocalypse in MY fleece. All those black spots, bugs. Seriously. Most of them are dead June Bugs. Um eww... SO now I am left wondering if a hot scouring will remove whatever nastiness is left in there. Did I mention this a FAIL!!!! FAIL!!! FAIL!!!!!

Have you had any good fails lately? Or better still do you know if I should just quit trying with my fleece? Either one? Both?

Regardless I am sitting here smiling because at the end of all the fail I am really quite pleased. That will be the next post. Everything will come together and if it doesn't how bad can it be compared to suicidal June Bugs? Exactly.

We aren't going to mention the black bean slider FAIL...
