I just knew I would end up slacking on this blog, in our home we have a routine that mimics the consistency and organization of a den of meth addicted raccoons. Summer is over, and at our home we refer to the Fall as "the busy season". Publicly we say this in reference to Holidays, school starting, and my soap making. Truthfully we know it means an end to prison style baths for the kids in the backyard with the hose, no more popsicle lunches, and in general...we have to get our act together.
I start out every school year with grand intentions on being a SUPER MOM! I'm gonna work on homework until they are Double Jeopardy smart, I'm going to bake cupcakes that look like tiny confectionery art pieces, and I'm going to show up to the school every chance I get, confident and put together. The reality usually is; I help the kids with their homework using an eyeliner pencil because we waited until the last minute and can't find a #2, I send in cheap generic Oreos ( I mean SUPER cheap...packaging that resembles WW2 rations, cheap), and I arrive to school for functions disheveled looking like I just escaped an encounter with ill-mannered gorilla.
So here I go setting goals and making plans! (That I hope will at least last towards the end of Fall.)
Our family plans has always revolved around the betterment of home, school, and work life. Organization and a more grateful, enthusiastic, and understandable attitude is the goal for all Scaff's and their roles in home, work, and school. Maybe some DIY personal journals with uplifting affirmations will help us? (It should be noted that I subscribe to EVERY hippy-dippy way of thinking there is. If i get up tomorrow and read that staring into the eyes of a cat with mange that hisses aggressively will help you better understand how to be a parent, by noon I will be in an alley on all fours with eyes flared as if I had smoked PCP in front of an alarmed cat attempting to be a better mom. I was a kid in the 90's, I grew up watching Oprah heal the world through crazy methods.)
Me personally I want to continue this blog. After just one post I felt uplifted and as if my pinned up emotions were siphoned off into the inter-webs. It really blessed to no end all the kind words that came my way. My plan is to blog every Friday and I hope my friends will hold my feet to the fire on this one!
I am excited to get started on my Fall and Christmas soaps, sugar scrubs, lotions, and candles. My husband is a HARD worker...he's been a janitor at our local schools for almost 10 years, but with three kids to raise I gotta pull my weight and help out the old man. I've made these for several years now and it really is something I enjoy and a huge creative outlet. Look me up on facebook under Soggy Badger for info on where I'll be if you want to check out some soap!
Tonight's blog wasn't as fun, it was just some fine print. A setting in stone of plans to attempt a regime change from our slacker ways. I promise this group of misfits we call a family has enough shenanigans to keep the blogs coming....and I promise next Friday's blog will make up for today's snooze fest!
