HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to ...

The BEST DAD I know.

He isn't home today (off with 3 of our children at yet another AWAY swim meet), but I do know that he will see this on his handy dandy BRAND SPANKING NEW iPhone ;)

He'll have to pretend this little blog post is his card.


So here you go dear ...

I love you in 13 different ways for the # of years you have been DADDY ...
  1. You (on this FATHER'S DAY) are doing what you do best for our children ... being present for them as often as you can.
  2. You want the best for our children and work so very hard to provide what we NEED and what we WANT.
  3. You are oh so cool. Maybe you think you are getting "old", but you are hip ... current ... down with it baby.
  4. You helped give us child #1 (Miss SMARTY PANTS)
  5. You helped give us child #2 (Miss SWIM GIRL)
  6. You helped give us child #3 (Miss Wonder what she will be like when she grows up)
  7. You helped give us child #4 (Miss Tomboy)
  8. You helped give us child #5 (Miss DRAMA)
  9. You help me to discipline when I feel defeated ... we really work like a TEAM
  10. You show our children how important it is to FOLLOW through and do what you say you will, and say what you mean.
  11. You show our children how important it is to GROW and LEARN. Life is always changing and in many ways you know that being stagnant is not what GOD intended.
  12. You are FUN. You have a sense of humor and make our children laugh and smile.
  13. You make our children THINK for themselves. I tend to take the shortcut and do for them what I want, but you encourage them to work it through ... be THE BEST THEY CAN BE!
You are an AWESOME DADDY, dear husband of mine ...

*Hope you don't mind that I cheated a little with 5 posts about why you make a great DAD ;) I kind of think each one of those children make you WHO YOU ARE.

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!
