Life At Our House

Well, my week is slipping by me...it's already Wednesday! It's been quite a week already! Losing Rosie hit us harder than we ever expected. I know it's harder on The FisherMan for sure. She would follow him over to his study at the church every day and sit patiently by the door until he came home. She was such a faithful companion.

The GuitarMan has had a friend staying here this week. It's a guy from his school and they have the band together. You can hardly walk through the house for the guitars, wires, Dorito bags and Dr. Pepper cans LOL! We've had a house full between them and more friends piling in. They're going to head out today for the beach for a couple of days. So it will probably be way too quiet now! :)

I've finished two loads of laundry so far this morning (that was just bath towels!) and have many more to go. Sigh. Many, many....many more. :oP
Gotta get in some homeschool time. We homeschool year round. It keeps FlowerChild on a better schedule so she always knows what to expect and this way we can take a day for other things when we need it.
Gotta get in some RUN time for the children. Cornbread slept all night last night!! He walked ten thousand miles yesterday all around the yard. At least it probably felt like it to him....he was a little energizer bunny! Got his first little skinned knee and never even cried.

So I have to run now and get back at it. I'll try to post something a little more profound sometime. :)

    Kris,
    Routines are great! It's been hard around here because the laundry room is outside. Now that Cornbread is mobile I have to fit in time for the washing. Also since the children have had so much sickness over the last month that has made it hard to keep up too. But I am working away on it and once I get it all caught up hopefully I can create a new routine that will fit. :)

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 ...
