"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!

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

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 ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
