Today is the first day of school. 3 of the kids are off on the bus and starting their year. Jacob is home doing internet school through Ohio Virtual Academy. Steve is out working on the playhouse. I have finished up the laundry (that I know about), cleaned the kitchen and dining room, tidied the living room, at lunch and took a nap. I love the last part...took a nap. I think I will say it again...I took a nap!
Now I am blogging because I said I would get back into the swing of things again. I am also trying to work up the energy to jump in the shower and look presentable for the 2nd half of the day. Kids home at 4. Doug home at 5:30. Soccer practice starts at 6 and ends about 8:30. Home and showers and then we wake up and do it all over again. I am not sure where dinner fits in there yet? Hmmmmm???? Minor detail.
We are down to 9 chickens. Yesterday we found one dead in the yard. We also are not getting many eggs lately. I think they are starting to molt, and I also think we have an egg eater in the bunch.
Maggie wants to join a dog 4-h group and work with Lucy. Curt wants to do rabbits, " but just for a pet mom...not to eat!" we will see. I guess they start meeting in January sometime. I will see if the enthusiasm lasts a few weeks past the fair.
I remember those hurried busy days when everyone had something going on and some place to be :)

That was the only was that everyone could have a hot dinner, no matter what their schedules were.
I think it's awesome that you were able to grab a nap. Very deserved !
I'm so glad you got a nap! Hooray! I'm betting you probably really needed one. I can relate to your dinner dilemma. I so know what that is like. That is a long, late soccer practice! Wow!
