FORGIVE the continually changing appearance ...

Blogger is driving me nuts. Earlier today I didn't even have real access to my blog ... some sort of ERROR that a lot of other people had. It may have had something to do with my template or widgets.

ANYWAY, I'm feeling like this place needs a little work.

BEAR with me!

Hello Elaine,
I am Amy from Word from the Herd. I saw your comment at Kim's blog. I think that was where it was. May Therese. Anyway, the Mom to my 5 Minnies got my attention and I came to check you out. I'll be back. WOW~!~ Five Girls! How blessed. I have a 9 year old daughter, a 7 year old boy, and twin 6 year old boys. (Audrey and William will be 10 and 8 in June).
I look forward to reading more about you and your family.

Hello Elaine,
Have been reading your blog for awhile now? Love the new layout--wondering how you got 3 columns, as I can't seem to figure that out for my blog. You're welcome to email me at tschmidt8@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Tonya

I like your 'remodel'! I always change my backgrounds from the cutest blog on the block-- there are a lot of cute free ones to choose from! Your new look has nice colors and just the right header! Eye catching.

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!
