What can happen in 40 minutes while the husband is away...


Scott took the two older girls to the pool (athletic club) to look for {k}'s lost goggles and to sign them up for another meet.

MEANWHILE ...

I give {b} and {m} a shower in my bathroom.
{c} climbs in and out of my shower stall a few times ... she becomes soaking wet in her clothing.
Manage to get shampoo out of the girls hair and tell {m} (at the age of 6) to make sure that she and her sister wash well with SOAP.
Meanwhile, I decide to soak {b}'s bathing suit in the sink.
{m} needs help with the body soap ... so I quickly squirt some on her body sponge.
Decide to run {c} to her room to get her into some dry P.J.'s
5 minutes later I come down to see {m} and {b} standing in an inch of water in my bathroom ... "Mom, you left the water on in the sink ... YIKES!
I quickly usher my girls out of the bathroom and put {c} in the pack-n-play in my bedroom
For the next 10 minutes or so I have to suck up water with my steam cleaner. I ended up leaving drawers open in my vanity so I had water filled drawers with tons of unused makeup
{c} is screaming
Mommy is cleaning
{m} yells ... "{c} is throwing up Mom!"
Shut off vacuum
Clean up baby
Usher {b} and {m} to the family room to watch TV of sorts
Nurse and put {c} to bed
Come downstairs to clean up my drawers and air dry out my new make-up.

BIG MESS!

MEANWHILE ...
Scott is home on his laptop doing work, the other 4 girls are watching TV (should be in bed).

CALGON take me away .... but not to my bathroom. I need a nice luxury hotel to go to.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
