Now THIS makes me sad ...

Today little {c} came in from the backyard saying that she needed a bandaid .. a BARBIE bandaid. Well shucks, we were all out. All I could offer her was the Sesame Street, Backyardigans, or Curious George kind. SHE DID NOT WANT THEM!

Her final request ... the big, plain kind.

For nearly 13 years I have been very well stocked in the character bandaids. So much so that there has been an occasion where Mommy just had to put on one of those kind for her boo boo's.

Can it be that soon the whimsical boo boo stickers will not be needed?

Sigh ...

She is growing up! I remember liking the little "dot" Band-Aids when I was young.

We flew through a box of Hot Wheels bandaids last week in a matter of days. {B} was needing one every other minute for an invisible boo-boo and he even helped himself to a bunch by pushing a chair up to the kitchen counter. I told him that I am only buying brown band-aids from now on and surprisingly he hasn't had anymore more boo-boos. ;)

I really think youngest children (with more than one older sib) grow up a lot faster. Jagger is out of things already at 5 that his sisters were not. I think it is just being around older kids all the time. Sorry she is growing up!

Now I will say that I think that parents going to the games (or swim meets in my case)is really important. It makes me a little sad that my Dad never saw one of my swim races as a kid. I know, you are probably saying "boo hoo!

I agree with that. At least one of us trys to make every game are kids have. unless it's totaly impossible

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 ...
