How's It Going?

I am still on crutches but I can tell there is a bit of improvement each day. I have been blessed with help.
The FisherMan has been helping out with cooking.
My mom was able to help out with laundry (although there is a never ending supply of that so it is never finished!LOL) and dishes.
The GuitarMan's college friends came for FlowerChild's soccer game Thursday night. Usually we fill up the bleachers and afterwards I supply a picnic supper but this time I wasn't able to do it! I sat on the hillside instead in a portable chair and they all sat on the ground below me. They brought all the fixins' for a picnic supper so we did not have to do a thing. (FlowerChild had dozen people cheering for her!)
Then 2 of his college friends, Z and another friend, came Friday afternoon and stayed until Saturday night. They got outside Friday with the children and played soccer and chase with them all over the yard. The children loved it.
Saturday Z got outside and helped The FisherMan out with some yard work.
We had the funeral that afternoon for the lady that had passed away this week. It was at their house that I fell. Our church supplied lunch for them and some of the leftovers were sent here. So I have had lots of much appreciated help!

I will admit though it just isn't in me to sit around being waited on. I just can't take not being able to jump in and do what needs to be done for my family. Friday I tried to make a pitcher of tea. I filled the pitcher with water but found I couldn't lift it then to pour in the teapot. Well, not do that and manage to stay upright on the crutches anyway! But yesterday I tried again and I managed it! So I made a pitcher of Kool-Aid while I was at it! :) I also finagled and managed to make a meatloaf. I am nothing if not determined, ha!

Now if I could just figure out how to get a cup holder on these crutches I would be set! So far though I haven't figured out how to fix me something to drink and get back to the living room with it.

I can only imagine what a picture we will make at the orthopaedic doctor's office tomorrow. :oP

    I fell down our back steps the other day. Thank God I just bruised my leg.

    Oh, Mary! I am so glad it was just a bruise and nothing worse. I would hate to know our black cloud was reaching all the way to our Dakota friends! :o)

    Bring those crutches over to Papa Rooster. I'm sure between him and the fisherman they could come up with something. LOL.
    Ya'll really should take in consideration what Papa Rooster said after church yesterday. I mean if that's even a possibility at all.

    Love ya'll and hope to see ya'll soon!! ;)

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...

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...
