"No SWEETIE, Mommy can only hear three things at one time!"

I will admit that I am gifted. With 5 girls who like to talk at me (often at one time), I really can process a lot at once. However, I draw the line with 3 voices speaking at the same time. More than that I feel like I am only hearing the teacher speaking in one of those Charlie Brown specials ... "Mwaa, mwaa, mwaa, mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh".

Today I accomplished a ton. It really felt good. Actually, I crossed off all the things that I needed done during this spring break of ours. IT FEELS GOOD!

Today was just one of those days where I was running through my house on a mission. Everybody was talkin' at me, but I didn't hear a word they were sayin'. Only the echoes of my mind. HEY, I think that is a song;) Don't worry, I didn't totally ignore my children. They were given their own set of projects to do. Dad made them (oops, encouraged them) to make a safety poster for a calendar he is running at work. That did keep them busy for a while.

We ended the day with mass. Altar serving was big sister {e} and it really was lovely. Little {c} even joined us because nursery was closed ... spring break. Family dinner followed at a local pizza place. NOW, they are all tucked into bed. Well, all except for {e} who is determined to finish her second book of the day. GOSH, I wish I could consume books like that.

It was a GREAT DAY. Tomorrow's project will be some yard work, grocery store, and another stop at church. This will be the last relatively QUIET weekend that my family will have for a while. Swimming and soccer are marking up my calendar.

Glad you got a bunch accomplished today! I actually thought of you when I was sitting down for a few minutes doing nothing. I thought... "I bet {E} NEVER sits around doing nothing!" LOL!

LOLOL....boy can I ever relate to this. I have been known to yell..."Excuse me, everyone. I am only able to carry on three conversations at a time. That is my limit".

Glad you got a lot done!

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 ...
