July...how do I love thee...

July has arrived!  I love the month of July (especially this year) for several reasons...

Pool parties.
4th of July.
Picnics and BBQ.
The beach.
Fireworks!
My daughter's birthday.
My birthday.
It is the middle of the year and we are half way til Christmas.
Our Vegas Vacation is near!
I will become a 31 Consultant.

There are also reasons I am not fond of July...

School supplies start appearing on the Walmart and Target shelves.
It is extremely HOT!
Christmas will be here soon and I need to start saving!
Mosquitos in Texas get really bad!
The month goes by too fast.

July is the month to recheck those lists of resolutions to see if you stayed on track.  The typical answer is no...but if you did at least one thing you said you would do, then that is a good thing.

So, the summer is really flying and I am really excited about starting a new venture.  I am not one to sit still during any phase in my life.  I'm always juggling several things at a time, which makes summer very rewarding and yet makes me very fidgety.  A few summers back(-quite a few), We contemplated having another baby.  My husband and I would go back and forth with the idea.   Then we tried and were not successful.  Then I was back at work and was a bit okay with the idea that it didn't happen because I didn't know how we would have managed a tot in our lives again.  Although I know we would have been fine.  It would have just been an adjustment-a huge one at that.  We were so use to getting up and going at the drop of a hat to do and go wherever we wanted.  Nonetheless, it would have been a very nice and warm feeling to have a little one running around in this home again.  I envy (in a good way) those families with more children than I have-like my sisters.  I know it must be tough raising them when they are young, but it is so worth it.

Needless to say we put that desire of adding on to our family behind us and moved on.  Now that our oldest is about to hit 21 and our youngest is now 14 we love it.  But don't get me wrong, if I am blessed with another child even during this time in my life, it would be just that.. a blessing and I would love it.  In the meantime, my husband and I will just wait til the time comes that our children bring us grandchildren.  I hear those are the best! :)  So, we secretly can't wait for the time to come, but we can wait patiently.  

So, getting back to my "venture,"  I've decided to sign up to be a consultant for the company Thirty-One.  If you are not familiar with Thirty-One, it is a company that sells all kinds of bags and organizational items.  I love the product!  I know I am quite the busy bee, but like I said- I was getting quite fidgety and wanted to do more.  I am going to at least try it out to see how it works.  I am not in it to get rich, but what girl doesn't like a few extra nickels and dimes in her account?  I am really excited about this and hope that it is successful!

I hope you all have a fun week!
