My life in a whirlwind!

Wow!  This Summer has flown by in such a whirlwind.  I am still shocked that it is mid August already and I am buying back to school supplies for my daughter and dreading the 5:30AM alarm clocks that will be going off Monday-Friday again.  So much has happened in this short summer that I can't even wrap my head around it all.  On June 1st I transferred to a store within the company I work for 5 minutes from my house and I have managed to go from just a cashier there once more to a coordinator again.  I only do it when others are on vacation, but it is a nice change of pace and my arms thank me for it.  Friday a friend I met on World of Warcraft invited a group of us down in 2015 for a WoW get together.  She is building a new house in Florida about 10 miles from the beach and Disney and Universal, so I asked my husband if he cared if I went.. To my surprise he said no.  So early March I will be hopping into a rental car with John and heading for a week in sunny Florida with the guys/gals of WoW!  I am super excited.. So much to do before then.  I need to hit the gym again, find a new swim suit, go shopping for some new clothes, and save up some spending money.  We are going to hit Universal Studios this time around and the Beach.  Let's not forget the holidays just around the corner..  have so many cards to make, but just can't get into the creative mood.  I haven't even felt like practicing my colouring with Kit and Clowder.  I have Spectrum Noir pencils to master as well as Spectrum Noir markers.  So much work to do.  With me working 5 days a week 30+ hours a week and at weird times I am finding it hard to find the time or energy to practice.  Right now, I am in my craft room blogging instead of working on cards.  I also have a lot on my mind that keeps me tense and stressed most of my day.  My mom who has been in and out of the hospital since early February has once again taken a turn for the worse.  If my Dad had not called the paramedics when he did they told him she would most likely not be here now.  How heart wrenching is that.  I am ok until the business stops and I lay down to sleep then the tears I am holding back fall and I cry myself to sleep.
