Spread thin

Work on the house has been a bit slower than I had hoped.  A lot in part because of the damn tropical storm and flooding.  None the less it is making me crazy!!  There is just no place to be in our house... furniture is stacked all up in the dining room, looks like the start of an interesting "Hoarders" episode!!
I have so much on my mind, and so much to get done... but I am stuck at a stand still right now... and it is driving me nuts!!
I havent really cleaned my house in WEEKS!!  Because, with all of the damage from the April's hurricane... and the constant rain and muddy dogs... it just got to be pointless.  Dust from shit falling from the rafters was never ending and tiresome!  Now we are stuck in the "drywall" phaze... and well... hello more dust!  I just want it all to be done so I can THOROUGHLY clean my house from top to bottom... paint... and get things back to some kind of normal!!

The kids are back to school today... THANK GOD!!  Because... if your read the previous paragraph... it is hard for them to be here too!!  NOTHING for them to do and no place for them to be!!!  Plus, we never really got into a school routine... since they went their first week... and not really since.

In addition to my already chaotic life... Britt got asked back to CheerForce yesterday.  We got the call at 11:30 yesterday... and within 15 minutes were on the road to Mifflintown for an afternoon of cheer practice! 
Now, anyone that knows Britt KNOWS cheering is her "thing"... she gets into the mindset and she is ALL about business.  And she is really good at it.  She learned most of the routine in just one practice... and fell right back into her "happy place"!  I just know that I want her to progress in the sport... not get stuck at one spot.  And she will need some pushing... because she does have some fears.  I dont want to spent the money... or invest the time if that isnt going to happen.  I can send her to the gym for a portion of the cost for her to crawl her way past back handsprings!  Plus I KNOW she wants to fly... and she may not be happy if that doesnt happen.  UGH!  Who knows. 
I cant believe how much all of the girls on her team grew up!!!  Obviously Britt grew up too... but seeing those girls, who a few years ago were just "little girls"... was crazy!!  And as I searched the floor during practice for Britt... I was looking for the "little girl"... Holy cow... she is now one of the bigger girls!!!  CRAZY!!! 
I have to admit... I sure did miss some of the cheer moms!!! 
Needless to say it will be a "family" discussion, on going through out the week.  Because I sure cant take this on myself... especially with trying to open the shop.  It is times like that that I have some regret on moving where we are.  I miss being where I had friends that were more than willing to give me a hand with these things.  Now it falls all on me... we have no one to count on for help.  It sucks... and I hate it!!  :-(

Last night I created a FB page for my shop!!  I have to put some time into it today.  Just did the basics last night.

I am hoping for a sunny day today.  I am super sick of the rain and cloudy weather!!!!  Even my ducks look a little tired of it.  Of course they LOVE being let out to play in the "stream" that comes down off the mountain... but they want their enclosure to dry out in the most desperate way!  I have to get out there and put some more sand and straw down. 
So much to do... so little time!

I guess I should get off the computer and head out to get some stuff done!  I am looking forward to my shop SIGNS to get here this week!!! 
I hope everyone is drying out... and enjoys their Monday!!
