What a lovely way to wake up. DH screaming GS4's name because he can't find him in the house. Fortunately we found him in some cabinets before calling the police. Later today I think we'll be making sure he can

Oh my! Horse shopping just got real. First time buying, first horse we even looked at, and my instructor is wanting to set up a two week trial. Eek! It's happening faster than I expected.

Crazy cats. They had perfectly good kibble in their bowl. But no, they are going to And once I poured the kibble from the bowl into another bowl......well, hallalujah they are fed and they start eating.

Well, it finally happened with baby #2. Woke up and came out to find DH asleep on the couch and baby with the markers contentedly drawing on the walls and couch.

Big storm approaching....

I've only been saying "no" for 2 months to DH's suggestions/planning for yet another Disney trip. So, why does he make me have to get rude about it before he'll respect my no?

So...how do you tell the cat who is just too cute that you kicked him out of the computer room so you could have some peace from his messing with things?

Well, we are flooded in. I was a mile and a half away at an appointment when a tornado hit my old neighborhood. Fun times. My family is safe for now.

Does anyone else feel like they are stuck in the Little Nemo movie? "Mine. Mine. Mine."

Hmmm....go away for a week and come back to a 180 degree personality change in the cat. My snuggle avoider is now snuggle seeking. He's even propositioned the 7 year old he hasn't ever tolerated before.

"Yes, I understand that you don't like it because it is hard work......to bad you have to do it anyway " is the theme of my life right now......

As I try to lesson plan: write, shift the cat, hole punch, shift the cat.....

Way cool. I found the spot that will induce my cat to groom. I scratch and he starts licking. I was so fascinated I let him give me a lick burn.

Happy. DD9 rode her new pony today. They were both a bit nervous but they did good.

I have a cat and a toddler fighting over who gets to be in my lap. The toddler won and now the cat is across the room giving dirty looks.

Just so happy. I had the best riding lesson to date. I was able to put all the things I've been learning for the past two years together for most of my ride. And it was on done at home on my horse that I haven't ridden in a year.

I'm really over the daily bedtime dramatics and meltdown.....for a 7 year old.

Stomach viruses suck. My 9y/o has been such a trooper since DH went to work. She's getting ice cream for sure when I get better.

*sigh* Hiding in my room during DD's meltdown....I just can't handle it tonight.

Oh, sure...a trade. You deal with 3 year old while I sleep another hour, and I'll deal with him the next two.....45 minutes after his hour he's finally up and I'm still having to deal with potty time.

First snowstorm since DD was two. She is 10 now and over the moon.

So, we are supposed to have a winter storm and snow. The schools have already cancelled for tomorrow. And my weather app keeps walking back the start of the rain.....

*yawn*

DD walked into the kitchen and said, "As soon as I eat I'm going to watch TV."

I said, "Um....what?!  I don't think so.  School day remember."

I wonder how much crap I'm going to get during school today......

Hiding in the corner with my chocolate......
