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.

My dishwasher died.

A couple of weeks ago our dishwasher was a loud raucous annoyance. It didn't used to be, it was one of those "quiet" dishwashers. Well, we use it so much I think we kind of slowly started killing it. It got louder and louder as the years passed, till it was at the point it was a couple of weeks ago. I am not kidding. It was so loud I would only run it when I was leaving the house. You couldn't even watch a movie because it would over power the movie. Then one day, we noticed it was back in it's quiet mode. Dishes looked clean, and they were...for a week. Yesterday I opened the dishwasher to put the dishes away and noticed they weren't even close to clean. There was a big pile of detergent just sitting on the bottom of the washer. Doesn't the soap know that it needs to get up into the dishwasher to clean? So this is my thought. Screw calling someone to fix it. We know that story, it costs just as much to fix it than to buy a new one. I say we buy two ...
