Blessed 2b Home

Well.. we have three baby birds next door and a crack in the fourth! I have taken pics but need to have the time to post them.. I tell you what those babies are bald as can be.

I have almost recovered from the garage sale but I have still lots of organizing to do.. I guess that will be that way for the rest of my life.

We really enjoyed having Nanny and PawPaw come for a visit. The kids loved gettin a little spoiling done to them again! :) ..

I am just back from a little homeschool meeting we have once a month.. just a few homeschool moms tonight we visited about the a writing program that some of the ladies use.. It looked really good.. and of course it is just fun to visit.

I came home to some tired kids. All the friends came over and played so they are pooped out. Nathan came in and sat down behind me, looking at a book. He asked me a question, I answered it, then asked him another question.. he didn't answer.. looked back and he was fast asleep on the floor beside his book.

I finally went to the doctor today about my being soooo tired all the time and my hair falling out. I got blood work done. I am interested to see what it says.
I will also go to the doctor in the morning for my wrist.. I have no idea what I did to it, only thing I can think is I hurt it shaking down a thermometer. That happened 5 weeks ago.. who knows.. but it will be nice to know whether I will be this way the rest of my life or just for a few more weeks.

UPDATE on the birds... WE now have 4 bald as can be robin babies! The kids were sooo excited.. I will take photos tomorrow and try to post this weekend.

Funny Question:
Yesterday at HEB I had the checkout lady say : "oh.. you have your hands full!" .. speaking about the kids.. I had all three with me.. and of course they were just a joy to go to the store with.. REALLY!
I just thought it was "funny" cause my kids were behaving so well and she made that statement like it was just a chore to be around them. Now I am not saying that every once in a while it isn't work.. but the majority of the time, these days, the kids are a JOY to be around.
I just looked at my kids and smiled, looked at her and said.. something to the effect of: " Well, these kidos are so fun to be around and great helpers!" she looked at me and didnt know what to say..
I just wanted to say to her.. (over to the side of course.. privately)... " I dont what my kids to think they are a burden, and that I think I have my "hands full" .. I want my kids to always know.. like my mom said to me all the time growing up "I am sure glad I got ya!" .. I LOVE being around you and you are important to me!"

(all those years of training are showing their value these days... little rules.. like.. "we dont say.. "Momma buy me this, can we get that", nope.. not doing that.. we are getting what we need and getting home" and " we dont pick stuff up off the shelf.. we look with our eyes not our hands" .. and " walk beside me or hands on the cart,, in other words stay close" .. OH.. I COULD go on and on but I won't)

Life it so short, enjoy your kids! Every moment is a teachable moment!

"....and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up...."
