Hi friends! Today was thrift store shopping! I had a great time, mostly because my mother and sister helped with my ruffian, Thanks Guys! I found many, many necessary items. Among some winners: hard hat for subject 3, a organizing basket for subject 1 ( he picked it out) , Scoop from Bob the Builder and much much more. Those all were mainly from the Goodwill out let, a sight in itself. And just in case you were wondering my husband poured the concrete at that building. My sister and I had a minor fight over a cool teal Limited pull over. She did find  a perfect spring cardy.

 

Spring is officially here! The first day of spring came on Sunday. The weather has agreed with the announcement. My subjects are all covered in mud. My youngest subject got so covered in mud that he lost his pants twice. I would have let him run around in his t shirt and undies, but I do live in a populated place. I can't have the neighbors talking.

 I have so many projects that I want to do for spring. I can't seem to get even one done.  I really   want to do some painting. Do you have any ideas how to paint with helpers. I found a Benjamen Moore store, so now my painting fingers are itching.  Well that's all I have now. Talk later.

Showers

One day my sis mentioned that she loved her morning shower. I said that I did not take one every morning, usually just if I was going somewhere. She did not agree with that method. Now I will give you an example of why I no longer enjoy a morning shower.

This morning baby up at 6:00. Subject 3 up at 6:30, next two up at 7:00. I decide to take the shower then. Be sure to image this scene. If it was not true it would be funny. Tell all subjects to go upstairs. Went into bathroom, undressed.( baby went with me, to stay safe.) Subject 3, "I have to pee" I reply "Just a minute" . Subject 3 decides a second is long enough and comes in. Now I can't get in the shower that is running because baby would play in the potty while it was open, but I am no longer dressed. So I grab a towel. Subject 3 goes out. Subject 2 says" I have to pee really bad". Still not in the shower, still have to hold baby so he does not play in the open potty. So I put my clothes back on and turn the shower off. I go out. I come in and shut the door quick and hop in. I hurry up and shower, shampoo, and shave. I get put." Mommy I have to poop". Sigh- I send baby out wrap a towel and help subject 3. He's gone, I throw on some make up and comb my hair. Getting ready to blow dry, Subject 1," I have to poop". Okay, I give up and leave the bathroom....... No joke this is the truth. Still, They are happy and I am clean.

Reasons

Reasons I love Friday nights:

1. King will be home the next day
2. Every one is happy
3. Pizza night (although this week it was left over night.)
4. I seem to calm down some, and enjoy the evening

Reasons I love Saturday morning

1. The king is usually home
2. I can get up and make coffee and know that he will be there to share it with me
3. The whole day stretches out to get projects done

I realize that some of my followers weekend really start on Saturday night, but the same principles are probably shared. I took a walk tonight and it felt so nice to just enjoy the evening. I could see in some of our windows, and could see various blond heads bobbing around. The king was kicking  back, it was a good night. Well the truth is, half an hour before I was frustrated at the baby of the family because all he wanted was for me to sit and let him try to climb back into the womb!

To the ladies in my clan- our eating party was such a success. I know the duchess liked to be surprised. The scones and tea were all I hoped they would be.  The leopard print outfit at goodwill, well I am glad that it got left there! This ain't no jungle.

Hello there mud! We have so much mud in our field. The subjects are having so much fun. Dump trucks, dozers, loaders and any thing that moves mud. I have had to rescue subject 3 out of mud three times, leaving boots stuck deep in. They are having a ball. Baby subject is learning to walk and  I love to see him toddling around out side too. Another child to keep clean... why bother?

Thought that on this first day of March I would give an account of things that happened over the winter that were note worthy in that I have not done them before.

1. Untangled a fishing pole from my chandelier.
2. Had our septic pumped out-twice
3. Cleaned the kitchen floor with shaving cream

4. Raised 5 puppies, That was so fun. 

We found homes for four of them and kept one.

So I must say that we had a good winter. I am ready to see the green grass around me and get outside and work. Today I was able to  go out and walk. It felt so good. I found some tomatoes on  sale at the grocery that looked good, so I made some fresh salsa too. Yummo!
