So, yesterday was a doozy of a crazy day! To the tune of one broken window, unfinished school work and 3 EXTREMELY hyper, and dramatic, whiney, quarrelsome kids! I’d like to know who snuck into my house in the middle of the night and gave my kiddos ADHD! 🙂 I’d have a thing or two …

Today
Today felt like a productive day! Today I tackled the “mess room” and got through quite a bit. There’s quite a bit more to do, but progress has been made! Today I did not wig out on my kids! Today I thought I would cook a roast and realized last minute that it was not …
The Critters
We’ve been closing all the gates to the fenced in part of the yard in an effort to have a “poop free” zone. 😉 The chickens are not very discriminating about where they ‘lay poop’ as Myles puts it. However, a 5 foot fence will NOT keep out an intrepid chicken who knows that there …
So close…. and yet
Ya know that magic moment I mentioned where things just finally fall into place and *poof* family is functioning at a new “normal” and it’s comfortable. There’s a predictable routine, the kids know what they are going to be doing, mommy knows when things are going to happen, babies are sleeping, eating and waking when …
Lucky
Well, we have a new puppy at our house. He showed up a couple of days ago. For some reason people like to drive back on our “private property” “dead end” dirt road and dump off unwanted animals. Very sad. 🙁 We’ve had puppies on several occasions, a pregnant cat, and several tomcats. We tried …
Crazy Daze
I’m living in a cloud of sleep deprived, mommy brain haze. 😉 Most days I don’t know what day of the week it is let alone the date! Ha! But it’s okay. I know this is just a season, and we’ll eventually make the transition back to a functional family unit instead of one that’s …
Not So EASY
Well I started the twinkie girls out on the Baby Whisperer’s EASY routine full blast on Sunday. I just have to say that EASY isn’t easy!! At least not starting out. I happen to have experience with it from before so I know that it WILL be easy down the road when the girls are …
The 4th Trimester
Bet ya didn’t know about that one didja? 😉 From the moment you see the positive pregnancy test your life begins to move in 12 week chunks. The first 12 you just want to survive the morning sickies and pray to not miscarry. The second 12 you start to feel good, not too huge, extra …
HOME
I can’t get over the fact that we are actually home!! Thursday night was a pretty stressful time for me. I just “knew” that something was going to happen to delay Gabby’s discharge. So much for being a “half full” kind of person, huh? Ha ha! 🙂 Anyway, I got to the hospital on Friday …
Dr. Brown’s, Apple Juice, Gas Drops… oh and a swing!
That is the recipe for sleep! 🙂 I hope! It was last night anyway. Claire seems to think that it’s completely appropriate to keep mommy up all night and then sleep like an angel all day. 😉 I like the angel part, but not so much the staying awake all night! The night before last, …
