I've GOT to get better at this.....

So here I am on a rainy day, sitting at my desk.  Wishing the rain would stop so I could work in the garden and the flowers.  Needless to say, I haven't  written a blog in awhile, either.  I'm SLACKING.....I know.    I feel TERRIBLE about it.  If it makes it any better, I have thought, "I need to go blog that" numerous times and then I get side tracked.  I used to pick on my mom for this...now I feel like I am looking at her when I look in the mirror and hear myself talk..go figure  ;)

We have been balancing a hectic schedule lately.  My girls have had field trips and girls scouts meetings and parties.  Daddy has been working midnights, so mama is completely zonked... School is nearing it's end and we are attempting to plan our vacation to FL to see my big sister.  Her baby is due in June and we should be there about 3 weeks after. Love you, Stacey  :)

Yesterday, was another field trip.  We went to a play at MSU and the fish hatchery.  We saw tons of fish.  On the way home, Grace asked for FISH for dinner, cause seeing all those fish swimming made her HUNGRY.  lol....and I was afraid she wouldn't want to eat fish anymore after seeing what we saw earlier. Trish, my little sister, watched Holli for me.  We went to get her and apparently Holli kept her laughing the whole day.   I swear, these girls take after their daddy.... and I see him in them when they laugh and smile.  (In this image you can see my name tattooed on his wrist.  I love it...)

He keeps me rolling on the floor.  They amuse me on a daily basis.  They were being silly, giggling and cackling in the back of the van, the other day on our way home. (one of my favorite sounds in the whole world)  They were laughing hysterically at each other..Charley of course has to immitate them both by forcing her laugh out. Then out of the blue, Grace says, "Home, James...off to the looney farm we go!" I just don't know where they get this stuff from.  NOT ME......lol.

I've been trying to get some deep cleaning done.  I'm failing miserably...  I tried to run the sweeper and it won't work.  I checked everything..wondering what has happened to yet another vacuum. (we have a bad record when it comes to them)  I took the cover off and tried to clean it.  I flipped the vacuum head upside down and "low and behold, MY TOOTHBRUSH fell out!!!"  My TOOTHBRUSH......of all things!  I've been looking for it and lucky for me I have a backup for occasions such as these.  Apparently it got placed in there and I ran the sweeper anyway.  I know what you are thinking, I didn't run over it.  It was placed there when the head was off the canister.  It fit perfectly down the tube and got jammed there.  Hmmm....I wonder?   Yes, there is only one CULPRIT....and she's the 21 month old walking around here with Q-tips sticking out of her ears. (??)  Holli said she was pretendiing to be an alien.  lol....

 

She is into everything, and I think she is destined to climb Mt. Everest!  She can be on top of the table in 3 seconds flat...I guess this explains why my vacuum started smoking this morning and why my house reeks of burnt rubber....blugh! 

I have taken some fun and awesome sessions lately.  I will be posting about them soon.
