Quality Time

So, the hubby and I decided we'd take a little day trip this past week. We so needed the time to regroup and come back home as a united front so to speak.
Okay so here's the scenario...we are sitting next to the fireplace at our favorite winery in Dutzow,MO, having a nice romantic lunch talking and being all lovey dovey. A nice looking older couple come in and sit in the booth next to us. They're just carrying on a normal conversation when out of nowhere- the old guy breaks wind!
Yes...right in the midst of my romantic getaway with my husband. I couldn't believe it, his wife immediately scolded him...I was appalled! What a way to spoil the mood!

benadryl and duct tape

I spent the day trying to wear my boys down. Took them to my sister's house, where they ran wild and played for hours, only to bring them home wilder than ever. At first my solution was going to be benadryl and duct tape, but 2 showers and 1 bubble bath later things seemed to calm down. A wonderful home cooked meal of Lunchables was then served. Yes, folks, this is my world. Counting down until bedtime just so I can steal an hour or so to myself for a glass of wine and tv vegging on the couch...some nice relaxing me time.

Do Over

So...as stated before, I have 3 young boys who I not only stay at home with but also home school. Their ages are 10,8, and 4. I was looking through my books the other day and realized that probably half of them are some kind of parenting book. This made me wonder wonder wonder. Why couldn't I write a book?
A friend of mine started blogging this week...and I remembered, hey I have a blog...somewhere??? Anyway, I found this again and was disappointed with the one post I had made...surely I have more to say right?
So, once again...
Welcome to my life...we're going to try a "do over" here with this blog thing. Stay tuned for all the "adventures" ;)

Welcome

Welcome to my life. Our family is one who loves to share anything and everything possible. This past week it's been a little nasty virus that we all have grown to hate. Although, we are now rounding the corner so to speak, it has been a rough week for the kids and I.
Looking forward to the weekend. The pool is semi-open (water temp. pending). Hoping to swim and bbq tomorrow,Saturday. Then on Sunday celebrating my super mommy's bday at her house after leading music at our church that morning. I'll be playing music that night here back in town with Mercy's Child at Ascending Glory Cafe.
Nothing unusual...always busy, always running....but it keeps me young....or so I tell myself.
