Crazy, then mud

Every once in awhile I start freaking out and go a little nuts...
(Ok, maybe I do it everyday, but you don't need to know that.)

My fingernails just hanging on the edge of the world and if I let go, I will tumble down into a large deep dark hole, never to be found again. Between coming up with the money for this camp for Krischan and bills and food and gas and... and... and... AAAHHHHHHH!

Damn you big black mailbox, were is what I need.

Deep breath...

In moments like these, I take a step outside, and outside is...mud.


And my garden is a swampy, muddy mess.


It is hard to believe that this patch grew wonderful green beans, spaghetti squash, zucchini, cucumbers, herbs, and strawberries. Wonder what it will grow this year.

Hey, is that there green growing?


It is! Iris's they last through anything. If you are a black thumb, plant those. I have mowed over them and they popped back up. Seriously...I mowed over them all summer one year. They refuse to die.

Kadence isn't too sure on her feet in her brothers boots, so she looked like this a lot today on our walk.


Horse therapy. I don't know what her name is, I think I will call her Madge. No, they aren't mine. I have three kids and a dog are you crazy? I don't need anything else. Although I would like some chickens...


Another deep breath and the little ones take a go down the slide one last time.

Back inside...that line of where sanity ends and insanity begins is awfully close...

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

who does the world revolve around?

Mornings can be very interesting. This morning did not disappoint. Jakob and Kadence wanted apple juice for breakfast instead of milk. Rick didn't want to give them apple juice because he felt that was just weird. He wouldn't drink apple juice for breakfast, so why should they. I laughed and told him that this isn't Rick's world and it doesn't revolve around him. "what!?" Rick turns to Jakob and asks: "Jakob, does the world revolve around me?" "No." was Jakobs reply. So Rick decided to ask him who the world revolved around. I was minding my own business making my breakfast when I heard Jakob say "mommy." Let me tell you, that is one smart little kid.

Birthday cake

When I was little the big thing I always looked forward too on my birthday was the cake. Ok, presents were always good also, but the cake lasted and was always homemade and delish. It was also always a given that the person the birthday cake was for got the first, and last piece. If it wasn't a rule, then I at least followed it. My birthday was this past Saturday and my husband came through with a Mrs. Goodman's cake. (I am still waiting for the year that he braves it and makes a cake from scratch with the kids for me.) Luckily he got a small one, because I ate a slice after my kids sang to me, then I ate a piece after they went to bed. The next day I ate three slices, yes three. I can't stay away from cake it just pulls me in. Besides, birthday cake tastes better than any cake, any day of the year. Monday was Kadence's birthday. There was once slice of my cake left so I saved it for the next day and ate the cupcakes I got for Kadence's family celebration. You...
