Super Saturday is done! We did over $1000 worth of stuff. And it was a lot of fun. I was busy all over the place on Saturday and didn't get to do any of the crafts I got. But I really didn't plan on doing anything anyway.
The kids are back to school today. I feel cheated though. I really wanted Fall Break with the kids to be fun and to do lots of stuff together. It actually turned out to be a boring week for them. I was so busy with getting things ready for Super Saturday that they didn't get to do many fun things. I'm a little depressed today about it.
BUT there is a sense of peace around the house that things are back to normal! Bret went into work for a few hours today too. So right now Livvy is asleep and the house is quiet! I really want to take a nap, but there are other things I want to do too. I really want to get all the stuff from SS put away so I can have my craft room back and then I can do the crafts I didn't get to do on Saturday.
You know, I have always wondered why women need to do crafts. Sure, men have things they enjoy, but it really is the women who need to do things creatively.
Saturday morning when I went to set up for all the crafts we were going to do, there were a bunch of men in the cultural hall playing basketball. I told them that we were going to be setting up in there for Super Saturday and they could use half of the room for their basketball for a little while. They were cool and there wasn't any confrontation (which is good, because I had my shovel tucked in the back of the van for purposes such as this). But while we were setting up, I was real selfconcious. I felt like the men were thinking, "Another crafty women day!" (exasperatedly thinking). And I wondered for a few minutes about why we need this outlet to make pretty things. Even today I feel that itchy "don'twannadoanythingelsebutbecreative" feeling. Even this simple blog is a way for me to be creative. Why do we NEED this?!
And then my thoughts turned more sinister! Men need things too.....
I have to inject here - I swear I just heard a chorus of "FOOTBALL!!!" (exasperated)
Right now my man needs Football and Katan. Those are 2 of his releases and they drive me CRAZY!!!!! I know its silly that it annoys me. (I had to put that last sentence in there - Bret reads my blog too). LOL!
But honestly, in my mindless wanderings of my mind I realized that there are things that we all need that others just don't understand. And its ok!
So Bret, thanks for watching the kids all day Saturday so I could help other women "get their jollies" so to speak. And I'll try real hard to turn the other cheek when Sunday morning, afternoon, and evening games come on. Oh, and Monday night too.
(is it just me or does that seem a little unbalanced?) Just kidding, Dear Hubby! :)

Glad you made it thru and even enjoyed SS.
I thought I had raised you better to swear especially in public, but there you go putting out to all the world the 8 letter swear word. Should I wash you mouth out w/ soap?
'little unbalanced'???? that's an undersatement!!!!

Hey I totally get the need to be creative!!! That's why I like doing vinyl. I feel like I have accomplished something that makes my home, or someone elses a better place. It's a way to express myself and I love the challange of seeing what I can come up with. Rick will help me sometimes, but I like it being my thing and my time. It makes me smile when I walk by my new craft that I made or bought in our house. And of course I am sure to point it out to Rick on more then one occasion and let him know just how amazing I am for making it! :)
Ok oopsie, didn't get you your christmas stuff in time. sounds like it was a success anyway!
