Mama's Pearls of Wisdom

You know, as a mother I am sometimes amazed at the words I hear coming out of my mouth. I decided it is high time I started jotting down these wonderful little moments. You know the ones.

"It's gonna stick that way!"

or

"You put what up your nose?!!!"

And yes we really had that experience one time which ended FlowerChild up in the ER no less...she decided to break off a piece of wood from our wicker bench and shove it up there! All's well that ends well. She finally started sneezing several hours later as we were STILL in the waiting area and it popped out. We got a lot of curious stares as we all hollered with joy and relief!

Well, today's little pearl is a true keeper. Once again, out of sheer coincidence it involves FlowerChild. Homeschooling provides many treasured moments of opportunity. Ready?

"FlowerChild! [insert real name here] STOP playing with your belly button and do your math! I promise you the answer will NOT be found there!"

Oh, the blessings of children!

    Oh it scared us to death at the time! She was probably around 4 when it happened, old enough to know better LOL. Now we can laugh about it but the wicker has been moved outside! Now the belly button thing...that was yesterday! Gotta love that child, she keeps things lively!

    Hi, Luke
    Welcome! There is always a reason to smile when children are involved in the equation! :)

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, ...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...

Baby Steps

Hope you've had a good day today. We have been having some lovely autumn weather at our house! Yet I still have the urge to get the Christmas decorations out. Normally I am one of those people who likes to get Thanksgiving completed before moving on into the Christmas festivities. But there is just something about this year that has me ready to get all of the holidays going and squeeze out all the wonder. So my house now has icicle lights hung 3/4 of the way across the front. It's a small start but still an official start! I can't wait for the holiday cooking shows on Food network and the Christmas romantic comedy movies to begin. We also did a little rearranging today along with some cleaning out. I am going through the children's things and doing away with broken toys or the things that just don't interest them. I still have a ways to go until I can check "satisfied" or "completed" on my mental list. But still, like the Christmas lights, I can ...
