  • And, Heeeeeeeeeeerre's My Life!

    I keep telling myself, "This is really the perfect life for me," because one of the careers I had wanted when I was younger was that of nurse or doctor.  That was my second choice to being a housewife and mother of many.

    God is great!  I'm trying to remember to thank Him for what I've just come to realize MUST BE a gift from above!  Not only do I have a husband and the army of children I always wanted, I'm using my nursing and doctoring skills I would have chosen for a career!

    1)  Rissy is still sick. 

    2)  Luci was picked up Friday early afternoon at daycare sick and continues to be. 

    3)  JESSE IS SICK! 

    4)  And, the cat threw up in my closet.

    Today, with my full ward of patients resting comfortably, I managed to clean out the part of the garage holding my stash of empty mailing boxes that I DON'T need to save (I had a lot!).  I still kept at least a dozen boxes in various sizes.  AND, I couldn't bear to part with all that white, pink, & green packing popcorn.  You just never know when you'll need to mail something fragile!!!!!  The bubble paper almost stayed, too.  I made a bold, rash decision and shoved the bubble paper quickly in the trash can before it started talking to me and begging me to spare its life like I had with the pastel popcorn! 

    I put our artificial Christmas tree up in the attic, which has been hidden behind my dining room table in white trash bags (that closely resembled body bags) since the first of January.  I pulled some spring/summer clothes down from the attic and went through the things Annamarie can wear this coming spring.  Oh!  I also went through all of the bathing suits to see who gets what this coming summer.

    Earlier in the day, Jesse decided he wanted to cook outside (another beautiful day) so we pulled from the freezer chicken thighs, hot links, and ground beef.  Jesse ended up going to bed ill and I was glad later in the afternoon he felt snuffed out and not up to cooking, because I sure didn't feel like it, either.  He came up with a "maybe idea" for dinner -  tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.  "Wonderful idea!" I cried, as I jumped up from the bed and fled from the bedroom (sparks coming from my feet) to make the E-A-S-Y meal; totally afraid, if I stuck around, he might change his mind to something more time consuming!

    While cooking my complicated menu, I turned all of the clocks ahead one hour.  The cable TV and computer will adjust themselves at the proper time.

    No rest for the weary. 

    Right after dinner, I bathed Annamarie (long hair and all) and Luci.  Rissy will have to be bathed in the morning, as she fell asleep on the sofa and I didn't have the heart to wake her. 

    I put some books, that were just returned to me from a friend, in my "already read" book shelves. 

    I went through eBay and Amazon leaving feedback for all of the people I had received books and DVD's from over the past 3 days.

    And here you find me - telling all about my life.  Somehow it all seems to run together, one day to the next.

    You think if I stop, I'll drop?
