One thing I DO NOT LOVE about Spring


We are fine, but there is a good amount of damage in our town and outside areas. I am not sure I have ever been that close in the path of a tornado.
The girls were a bit frightened by the sirens and the fact that we pulled them out of bed while they were sleeping and shoved them in a closet.
We said some Hail Mary's ... I think that helped!
Hopefully after today we can enjoy some sunny, eneventful weather days.

Glad you all are ok (E). I said a prayer for you all after I heard the news last night (we were up in the wee hours b/c of bad storms). Luckily we escaped those storms without too much damage here. We had the sirens going off earlier in the week though, and the kids and I were in a closet praying. Thankfully the tornado never touched the ground - but I could actually see the cloud wall and tornado trying to form from out my window - CREEPY. They were showing it on the news, and I was watching the same thing from out my window. It is scary stuff. I love the spring - but could do without the tornado weather.

Glad you are OK. I spent 10 of my childhood years in Michigan and those tornado watches/warnings seemed to happen on a regular basis. I remember many a night waiting it out in the cellar. However, after spending almost 10 years in California and a few earthquakes, I think I'd take the tornadoes. At least you know they're heading your way. Hope the sun comes out for you soon. How's the South Beach BTW?

Scary stuff, I am glad you are all okay. I don't think I could live in an area where that was something you had to worry about.I'd be a nervous wreck!

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!
