Clean House

A few months ago, I watched television! It is a rare occurrence but somehow I got stuck on the show Clean House. I guess it made me feel better about my own house. They clean everything out and stick it on the lawn to sell. Zoe Elmore encouraged the liberation from stuff on her blog as well. So I cleaned out-bathroom cabinets, bookcases, the basement, storage shed, closets and anything I was tried of picking up or stepping over-out on the lawn it went! It went well and a few of my favorite charities benefited as well. Today, the girls helped me pull all of the empty boxes to the drive-way to be taken to the recycling center. We played "blocks" with them and then tried this for our celebration with others joining in later.....

Grandmas-that baby in the background is the neighbor who brought her new slid over to share with B. (bet you thought dad had shaved B's head.)

I did focus in on the baby and then realized it wasn't Blake. Lydia's video is precious! Her granddad is coming to watch.

Hey friend, can't wait to see the "clean" video. Keep up the great work. My purging needs to be in full gear as we try to live in this dust filled remodel. I think it would have been easier to pack and move. LOL! Now all my clothes are out of my closet and in the guest room with everything else we own. I'm going to have to wear my PJ pants for underwear if this remodel isn't over soon! LOLOLOL

Pretty Woman

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women (except for the business transactions.) Since My Dear husband loves teenagers, we have been invited to attend the local prom as chaperons . Finally, I have gotten my dream date to the prom and you know how I like to dance! I thought of how fun this will be. Then it hit me, as it does every girl going to the prom WHAT WILL I WEAR? Since being either pregnant or nursing a baby for about 8 years, I stopped buying dresses unless they are maternity. I have a couple of ' stylin ' friends- one is the size of my leg but the other is pregnant with baby #6. I knew she would have a variety of sizes as she has been blessed with 5 beautiful girls (yes, they are beautiful) and the transition that comes after each of their births. Sure enough, Missi shows up with a variety of sizes, styles and accessories! See, I am Julia Roberts, minus the you know what. Here is what I have learned or have been reminded of in this "Mama sized" dress...

Is this the lab?

I recall having to sign up for lecture and then the lab in college. You learn it in lecture and do it in lab. The labs were usually hours long and put an interesting (meaning not cool!) curve in your day. Yesterday, we had a sick one. Our kids are typically healthy but I am beginning to think it is through their illnesses that I learn. I better get it this time 'cause it is just not fair to the children that they are sick due to their hard headed momma! Sick children are needy and Man Cub was no different. I entertained Lydia with reading, playing a game and having school since she did not have Clay to keep her busy. Blake napped as normal and continues to experiment with the potty....still! This morning, I walked into the living room, one asleep on the couch and another asleep on the love seat neither of them interested in eating and especially not school. Now, 2 kids needing mama and another still experimenting! Meanwhile, my heart is heavy to do something...So many lives lost in...
