Life Around Here

Sorry for no posts for the last couple of days. The GuitarMan is off from school right now. Last week he was down in the Daytona, Florida area visiting with friends. He got back Monday night, much to the delight of his younger siblings (and his parents!) So the last couple of nights have been about catching up on some family time. Since I usually blog at night after the children are asleep that went by the wayside, but for an excellent reason! :o)

Last night we cooked chicken wings and onion rings for supper. (Ha, we are making rhyme books in our homeschool time...I just realized that rhymes!) We cooked them outside in the cold. Now I know some of my readers are in much colder weather but for us it is cold! It will be in the teens by tomorrow night. Brrr!

Well, I missed yesterday's chaos tip so I will give you a sneak peek. I'll be back on tonight and our tip will center on grocery shopping. For now, I have to run. The girls are having a game of Cootie at this moment, my little man is tiring out for a morning nap and we are all still in our jammies! Gotta get the day started! We are running a bit behind this morning and we need to get some schoolwork done. Have a wonderful day...seek God's face in the small stuff!

    Tiffany: Oh my goodness I wish ya'll were close enough to just pop over and we'd fry some up! Hey, that restaurant is now called The Blue Plate and they have some fine country cooking. Wonderful when you just need some comfort food!

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, ...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...

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...
