Too Busy to Blog

Here's a rundown of this last week (at least a snippet):

• David was away in Cali and came home last Friday (yeah)
• I went to Vegas with my Besties for 2 nights
• Speck ate a chicken
• School shopping for Sophia and Nathan on Tuesday (totally and absolutly last minute)
• School started for Nathan and Sophia on Wednesday
• Finally found Emma June a preschool (Barefoot Gym) and had her assesed
• Rachel destroyed a bunch more crap
• Peach tree exploded with peaches
• Pumpkin patch is kicking butt
• Decided, last minute, to take my mom to the Oma's house for her 61st birthday this weekend.

Monday

Mondays are typically hectic for me. Aren't they for everyone?

David's been working in California again which leaves me with a bit more to do.
Here's a run-down of what our day's been like so far (and it's only 2:30):

I worked in the office; getting some billing/invoicing done while the littles cooperatively sat on the couch and watched tv (I don't think I even made breakfast this morning). The big kids went outside and organized an otter pop sale with the neighbors.

Then I cleaned up the backyard:
Mowed the lawn (I quickly learned that the self-propelled action on the self-propelled lawn mower no longer functions), cleaned out the chicken coop and picked up after the dogs (this is the big kids job but school starts next week and they were having fun playing with friends...pathetic, I know).

I'm still scrambling to get everything else done. The dishes are piling up and so is the laundry (last week's laundry was overtaken by sheets and blankets soiled with vomit and such).

But the princesses insist I watch them do a "dance show", complete with costumes and messy faces & hair. And they really want to go swimming too.

My chores can wait.

The littles figured out that covering up laundry with pillows is easier than folding.
