Hello? Is anyone there?
Helloooooooooo?
Ugh, cyber moth balls and code dust. Bleh.
Looks like this place hasn't been touched in a while.
Oh wait, I remember this! This is my blog. Indeed, it is starting to come back to me. Once upon a time I spent much of my week recording all the day-to-day antics of my wild and motley bunch.
Ah, those were the days.
People use to read this, (still not sure why) and even comment. *gasp*
Yes, I have been blogging long enough that I remember when people use to leave comments.
Consider me ancient.
Still, I am so far behind I'm not even sure where to start! Especially when there are so many current happenings I really should keep up on as well.
If I actually get around to blogging this week, you may get some serious time whip-lash as I jump between current and past happenings.
Ooh ooh ooh! *complete change in story line* But good news! We FINALLY finished the two bedrooms in the basement!
*insert awkward happy chicken dance*
The eight of us will finally be able to spread out to five bedrooms instead of squeezed into three.
So basically I will be re-doing my entire house.
I am terrified at what I will find under all the furniture and in the dark corners of the closets.
I may not come out of this the same.
For the next couple weeks my home will be in a constant state of
I need to make a sign to hang on my front door. "Visitors beware! House under complete renovation. Please leave chocolate and run!"
I only looking out for their welfare.
The only down side is that I need to go through each child's clothing stash, figure out what doesn't fit anymore and trade out sizes.
I have been avoiding this day for far too long.
But I suppose it's not fair for my children to have to endure high-water pants and wedgies forever.
And so, I am off to tackle the day.
Who knows? I may even be productive enough to finish another post for tomorrow.
Because I believe in miracles.
Speaking of miracles, if you still visit this almost deserted corner of the blogosphere, you deserve a concentrated dose of adorable cuteness to brighten your day.
You're welcome.
10 super cool people speak:
I like the sign idea....it so needs to be hapening here too!
YES...thanks for my dose of CUTENESS!!!!! LOVE THIS LITTLE MAN OF YOURS!!!!!!!! smile
I don't know how you find the time to stop & scratch never mind write a blog. It must be the power of chocolate :)
HIgh waters and wedgies...sounds like some kids I know...well.
Congrats on finishing your basement. We are in the middle of finishing our basement. I don't know how you made it out alive! :)
Carla - I know! Good luck with all your renovation craziness!
Mom- Jackson is rather adorable. ;)
Heidi - LOL! Never underestimate the power of chocolate!
Jocelyn, if we lived closer, I'm sure our kids would be pals. :)

Welcome, back, Friend!! I have missed you!! Plus your "wild and motley bunch"!! ;)
"We FINALLY finished the two bedrooms in the basement!" Yippee!! ;-D
"I need to make a sign to hang on my front door. 'Visitors beware! House under complete renovation. Please leave chocolate and run!'"Crack. Me. Up!! ;-D
Love you later, Raelyn
Congrats on the basement!! I am awfully jealous! We are squeezing the 10 of us into 3 bedrooms. We were only supposed to be here for 3 years and now we just hit our 7th year anniversary. Some days I'm so mad about it I just want to pack up and leave. But then I get down on my knees and pray. Sure wish we could build a basement so that the kids have somewhere to play while the little ones nap. Really, I'm happy for you. And I love, love, love going through clothes and getting rid of toys/junk and rearranging kid stuff. Wish I could come help you! Can't wait to read about it.
Ah, thanks Raelyn!
Marcie - I bow to your greatness. :) Man, all 10 of you in three rooms, wow. Reminds me of my husband's family. 11 people in a five small rooms, and ONE bathroom! Hang in there superwoman!
Cool about the basement. All the hassle will be worth it...but you're right. You are in for a bit of an organizational pain in the you know what!
;)
