Barely….
Some days it is all about survival and some days we thrive!
So I have been thinking:
– 1 year olds are funny little monkeys, Little Lady keeps me busy cleaning up her messes and laughing at her antics.
-One of the reasons God created nursing, so busy mama’s have to sit down and hold their babies.
-Sleep is a good thing
-I want a farm house on a lot of land, I would like to drive down my own lane to get to the farm house. I would also like a barn, and I want to grow heirloom tomatoes.
-It takes a lot of energy to run a household with 9 people in it.
-I don’t like homework, I didn’t like it when I was a kid, and I don’t like it now that my kids have to do homework. It seems like my kids have much more homework (aka busy work) than I ever did and at earlier ages. Makes me consider homeschool.
-I love birthing at home, I wish I had done it with all my kids.
-Speaking of birthing, I need to write down Little Miss’ birth story, but I hesitate to do it, it was kind of hairy (2 1/2 days laboring) and I don’t want people to tell me I did it wrong….
-I need to work on a budget and start saving money like a crazy person if I am to ever have that farm house, barn and lane.
-Laundry is my enemy. If I have to pick between a nap and folding laundry I pick the nap. Did I mention that Little Miss isn’t sleeping though the night? Laundry can wait.
-I want to have more children, but not right now.
-I plan to blog regularly again, I just wish I knew how to attract more readers…..
Have a good day!
Amen!

You make me giggle! I am glad you are still alive, that you have learned that one year olds are little monkeys and that you are nursing. Agree on the whole sleep thing–I am totally in favor of lots of it (for grandmas too)but know for awhile you will be running a sleep deficit. Totally hoping you get your wish for a farm…most of my ancestors lived on one and I LOVE them. Your statement about laundry makes me remember ‘those’ days and I wasn’t blessed with the number of kids you have been:) Hope you find more enerfy, get more sleep and have as many kids as God blesses you with…
BTW-I LOVE your mayor. Please, please, please consider sending her to us–we NEED her here in liberal-land. Please!
Blessings,
Aimee
PS: Your apple butter is cooking happily in my crock pot as I type this. I have told it to please slap my hand if I come at it with a spoon and open mouth too often:)
I so happy your alive! Naps are great I still love them and I don’t have little ones.
I am glad you posted it is nice to hear from you.
Love

By “did it wrong” do you mean birthed wrong? If she’s here and healthy, that’s not possible!!! Props to you for home birthing, I wish I could have done that with Miss F.
I’m with you on the farmhouse and wanting to blog more. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do both myself. It’s good to see you posting again!!
I could have written that list!
