How do you like your eggs?

Do you ever wonder what goes on at the preacher's house after church on Sunday night? Ha, well how about a peek? Tonight was a madhouse as we got supper cooked (eggs, grits, toast), fed the baby, checked on the puppies, they were out of their tent, got the puppies back in their tent, fed the dogs, ate, got the children wound down, baby asleep....whew! So now the girls are helping peel boiled eggs for us to pickle. Ever eaten pickled eggs?
Their conversation is so funny.

LadyBug: What kind of eggs is this?
Daddy: It's a chicken egg.
LadyBug: EEWWW!
FlowerChild: What? It's just an egg.
LadyBug: Chicken egg is gross.
Mama: Do you like scrambled eggs?
LadyBug: Yes but NOT chicken eggs.
FlowerChild: But you alread-
Mama: (calls name)
FlowerChild: But she-
Daddy: (calls name)
FlowerChild: But I just want to tell her one thing. You ate-
Mama and Daddy: (call name)
Mama: It's not necessary to tell her everything right now.
LadyBug: Well, chicken eggs is gross.
FlowerChild: (very quickly) Well, you already ate chicken eggs for supper!

Ahh sisters! As for me I am still looking at recipes. I had been looking up the italian soup recipes by name but tonight I just looked up Olive Garden recipes. Do you know they have recipes on their site? There are some more sites with copycat recipes. So I am off to convince my wide awake children it is time for bed and look at those recipes before grocery day!

    Hey Mama Hen! You know FlowerChild well, don't you?! Just wait until your precious one starts talking....I'm afraid to imagine the conversations she and Cornbread will have!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
