*Sigh*

What a day.  I finally got some good sleep last night but then woke up not feeling so great.  I was planning on going to get some blood work done early, then having my aunt over for a visit in the afternoon.  I ended up cancelling since I wasn't feeling so great but she's a pretty awesome aunt and she understood :)  When I started feeling better, Lauryn and I headed out to Grand Rapids, for a five minute appointment, then stopped and visited Lloyd at his office for a few minutes before we came home.  When Lauryn took her nap, I had planned on getting a few things done around the house.  I sat down for a few minutes and completely passed out.  Apparently getting a decent nights sleep last night didn't make up for the past two weeks of not sleeping well!  I didn't hear my phone ring or anything!  I woke up 10 minutes before we were supposed to go pick up my mom and run her on a couple of errands.  So I quick got Lauryn changed and ready to go and we left.  The rest of the evening was uneventful.  I made breakfast for dinner, visited with my mom and after I took her home, I got Lauryn to bed.  I put her in bed anyway.  It's after 11 pm now and she's still in there awake and singing to herself!  Now I'm sitting her with Lloyd, and we're both stressing about things that are beyond our control.  No fun.

On a more pleasant note, I've been feeling really crafty lately.  The problem is I don't have a clue what kind of craft I want to do right now.  I've been thinking of making more jewelry but I also want to get started on crocheting a tree skirt for our Christmas tree (early, I know but I want to get it done) and I still really need to figure out my sewing machine.  I have so many ideas for what I'd like to make with it but no clue how to use the darn thing!  I've been thinking a lot about setting up a stand at a craft show.  My friend and I have talked about going in on one together and seeing if we could make some money.  We both are very crafty we've just never really gone for it.  I think it would be fun to set up a booth or a table and sell our items.  I've seen some really interesting trade show displays that would help bring attention to our crafts, we just need to get motivated to do it!
