there is a good chance that I might start blogging more. I have to get on the internet at least 3 times a week. Why, you might ask. BECAAUUSE....I had to switch 3 of my 4 classes to online classes and they require that I log on 3 times a week (more is better, they say) in order to get a good grade. I couldn't find any daycare that I could afford, so it was that or drop out...this seemed to be the better option. Now I babysit for cousin Jessica on tuesday and wednesday mornings so that she didn't have to drop out either - her schedule was not flexible like mine. I found out her schedule was more given to her than chosen by her. There was only that time to take the class, or not take it at all. I think it's a nursing program...and later she has to do clinicals in a hospital. EARLY MORNINGS! poor girl...I have to be here by 7:30, and that's with Patrick staying home late so I don't have to come sooner. THANKS to Patrick! Yay! And the benefit to me babysitting at Jessica's house? I can use her internet and her computer! which means I can blog more often...so long as i'm not working on my school work! :)

oh, by the way....a couple other things M says that I think are adorable: Oh No! , Oh my!...and best of all, Oh Man! (it's adorable!)

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
