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.

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...

A new adventure

Thanks to all who come here and read my posts. I love writing and this is my way of practicing the craft and making fun of my life all in one stroke. I have begun a new adventure thought. As I edge closer to 40, I feel it is time to figure out what I want to do with my life. If you have ever tried to answer that question, I hope you agree with me that it is not an easy task to do. I feel it is especially hard since I live with a man who is doing what he loves and is really really good at it. I am hoping that this next step leads me in the direction of finding out what I want to do, and I hope that you still follow me, post comments, and pass on my link. So here it is: http://www.eightandahalfacrefarm.com/ My new website, and location of my blog. Please visit and roam around. I took all the things I love to do and combined it into one site. Interior design, cooking, writing about my family and getting my hands dirty in the garden. I also joined forces with my mother since she is...
