This was something I never figured

 ... with 5 children and a home.

THE CONSTANT PHONE CALLS and APPOINTMENTS

This summer has been filled with many dentist visits, well check ups, and orthodontist visits.

Again this week ('cause I just went today) we will head back to the dentist to get a filling for my 6 year old (her first ... boo hoo).

After this holiday weekend I need to get {m}'s top wire put in (TODAY) after I had to use wire cutters to cut off part of it this weekend.  Her wire fell out of the back bracket poking her in the cheek (ouch!).

In between I am trying to get some things taken care of with our home.  THE WINDOW man will still not call me back and I am not sure he will after the phone call I left him.

THEN sometime soon I need to make hair cut appointments (for some of the girls who I won't cut their hair).

ALSO on the schedule is the oh so important 1st mammogram.  That has to get scheduled before the girls start back at school.

ALL THIS TALK is boring to anyone who reads ... I am sure. 
 I will tell you that it is the worst part of my job.  There are so many other things that I would rather be doing.

Like ...
  • painting the girl's bathroom
  • re-touch up of the ceilings in my bathroom and family room (water spots)
  • yard work
  • garage cleanup
  • school shopping
  • running far, far, away (just kidding ... I think)

I know how you feel! After the dentist, audiology for a broken hearing aid, the car service and several play dates, I don't have much week left!
We will miss it all one day I'm sure - well maybe!

I get it...I really do!

I have a painter that is ignoring me right now...so frustrating. And it seems like every time I make an appointment, I do it at a time that ends up being inconvenient or conflicts with something else.

And school shopping...EEK! We still have almost 2 months of summer vacation but I have started seeing some hints of "back to school" in stores and on-line. It makes me think I should start getting some things now so it isn't so much in August.

Oh for the life of a mom...LOL!

I think I'd rather face all of those phone calls and appointments than clean out the garage!!!

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 ...
