Managing my day.....

is always a chore. There just isn't enough hours in the day.

I have all these ideas and can't seem to get them out of my head and into material form with all of my commitments. My day starts early with getting grandkids off to school and watch any where from one to two small ones from two down.

But I did manage to win 7th place in the Granny Bowl Tournament. I won a whole twenty five dollars! Woohoo! Hey, don't knock it! I was surprised I even placed! Our best bowler came in 12th and our second best bowler, .............. well lets just say she had a bad day!

I need to make a list today of things to check into. My daughter wants to change our business name and make it shorter. Which is okay, but we can't find a name we like. Then we have to change it with the tax people. Of course, then we would have to have new business cards made up. We can't change our etsy name, so we would just have either just put it all in edit form and then make a new store and relist or just let it all expire. Of course then we have to hook up the new store to our paypal account. Then if we get propay............ well you get the idea, the list just keeps going. Is it worth it?

We are doing a one day show with four other shops in our street team. This is going to be held in Tower Groves Park, St. Louis, Missouri. The one date we have is June 21st. We are doing a mock set up the Saturday before just to see how it will work out. Of course we do most of our shows in the fall and winter since we knit and crochet. But my partner and daughter has been make flower pot pens which she has been selling at work. They will be our one and only item we are putting in the June show. Crossing our fingers and praying that we haven't invested all this money and time into something that won't sell. If the bank is any indication, then we should do well. Or at least break even.

Between Cara trying to sew (she's two), I have managed to get a few more outfits out there on Etsy. You can see them at www.everlastingcraftycre.etsy.com I just need a few more ideas for them. I also need to try to list everyday. But getting that done with babies hanging on my hip is hard to do. By the time they go home, all I want to do is take a bath and sleep.

Doing laundry now, I hear the washer buzzing at me. We have another bowling tournament this weekend. The team is leaving Saturday morning and we won't be back until Sunday afternoon. I am going and counting this as a vacation. With the price of gas as high as it is, I doubt whether we will take the RV out of the yard. I do plan on taking the pontoon out on weekends though. I might have to learn how to tent camp all over again. Hubby won't go. He has such breathing problems that he can't hardly sit on the front porch without huffing and puffing.

This must be my ramble day!
