Hmm, again I cannot follow through

So I started this blog with the intention of venting and thinking and all that good stuff. Hmm it is a place to be selfish and self centered and I can't even keep up with that.
I have been working on several projects for the girls and myself. I have been ignoring my house with a passion, soon it will be hunt for underwear. Oh well. I have felt a little more alive making things and having a purpose.
I did an amateur photo shoot for a non profit organization my daughter is involved in. I mean that I am the amateur not the people being shot. I have lights I have borrowed from a friend, spotlights really. I do own a professional level camera but you know, just cause you own one doesn't mean you can take a picture worth crap. But hey my services are free and with that comes hours under hot lights, the threat of your camera being broken, and then the criticism when you give them their pictures. But all that known I am up late at night working hard on editing and cropping pictures and burning cd's.
My eldest is participating in her school's play. She is a villager, an extra really. But for the shy little thing who can barely speak to order her food, she is a villager. A mob participating villager screaming 'Kill the Beast'. I am so proud. In my pride I decided to hand maker her costume. Now you should know that I did have a time in my life I made 'period' clothing for a 'hobby' so this task should be no real problem. I had a great first day at it, until I realized that I was making Belle's costume for a villager - hmm not good. So off Bunny and I go for new fabric. We are still off to a good start. Day 2, apparently someone somewhere was having fun with me. My sewing machine no longer sews. It believes that thread is not necessary for sewing and continued to break it all day. It was a long and frustrating day but I did manage to complete it. I have my fingers crossed that no one will see all the start and stops in the seams. She is going to be the best dressed villager there - but that could just be mommy pride.
Well my cd's are done burning and my sweet dear hubby is upstairs awaiting my disruption of his slumber. I need sleep to get everyone out the door on time in the morning in preperation for my day out!!!!! Nothing says loving like quiet mommy time to do as she wishes.
Lets see if I can write again before the month disappears in the abyss.......
