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!!!

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!
