I NEED my PICTURES!!!!!!!

All 500 or so of them.

When you take that many, you need to put them somewhere.  

So where are they?

On the husband's laptop (his work computer that is NOT at home).  I never not have access to my pictures after a vacation.

I guess I could blog with words, but pictures always tell my story better ... waaaahhhhhhhhh!

Here is the very short and thoroughly boring explanation for my blogging disappearance.  My husband and I piled our bunch of 5 minnies into our gas guzzling car driving through 6 states.  We made our stay in Florida where we visited Grandma G at her lovely beach house.  My 2 sisters (and their family) came.  There we did a small memorial for the one year anniversary of my Dad's passing ... it was lovely.  After a few days there, we loaded up the car once again and headed to the world's happiest place -DISNEY.  Grandma G, Aunt H, Uncle C, and cousin G came along.  Nice trip with lots of memories.  Some so memorable that I could probably make an entire blog about them.  I may ... 

I'm glad to be home.  My bed is so much better than any place I slept ... ahhhhhh.  I also have some "issues" with hotels and public restrooms.  It would be one thing if I just took care of myself on vacation, but I have to look after 5 girls and hope that they take the proper "precautions" in places like rest stop bathrooms or McDonalds(yuck).  My husband is one lucky guy to get off the hook with that particular job.  I am a very stressed woman after leaving bathrooms.  Way too much "don't touch that" and other yellings take place.  Let's just say that there are a lot of nasty, dirty, inconsiderate people in the world and because of that I react in a not so nice way and have to use a ton of antibacterial lotion as a result.

So, as much as I love a trip away, I am glad to come back home.

OH NO, I hope you gain access to your pictures very soon!

And I hear ya on the public restroom ick factor. We are road trippers too...no stranger to public restrooms. Good golly, so many people are pigs. ACK! Until B2, I had always gotten the raw end of the deal with the parenting potty duties too. Now I get a little giddy when I get to tell DH...your son has to go potty. Have fun with that, honey. ;)

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!
