I'm Back! I'm still tired!

I'm back! A bit of a hiatus... will explain later...

just another typical day at home:



Corey hits the door stripping off her clothes to change into her bathing suit. We’ve had two weeks of good weather…. Just long enough for her to develop her summer routine. She’ll wear one to school under her clothes if she can get away with it. She’s yelling let’s swim, let’s swim. It makes me laugh because she’s lost her two lower front teeth so she has a lisp.

Poop Scoop Patrol! Corey is totally diggin’ this and I do not know why… but you can imagine the “load” the new dog has created (Great Dane)… thus increased patrol frequency.

Yard inspection. What needs to be done this evening? Water? Smell the flowers. According to Corey there are still weeds that I need to pull and why are they growing in the mulch around her tree house.

Dinner: (kick ass dinner! – and yes I made it.)
· Lamb
· Red potatoes, apples & acorn squash – roasted
· Homemade strawberry pear bread pudding.
· While I was gone to pick up Corey from school, Athena (the Great Dane) ate half the vegetables then threw them up all over the kitchen floor. No Mom, I did not feed that to Schuyler and Dalton… yet.

Corey and I sat down to a nice dinner, even used wine glasses. She dipped everything in ketchup and cleaned her plate. Don’t care. She ate it.

Tried to walk all four dogs at once. Mistake is an understatement.

Made homemade bug spray – This is brilliant. It’s safe enough to drink. – Will write a separate piece on that when I refine the recipe. But Corey wants to spray it on her all the time, on everything outside. Doesn’t matter, she can. Go ahead and waste it because it’s cheap to make! And oh yea, it keeps bugs off you… we’ll see on the effectiveness… but at least it will keep Corey busy FOREVER.

Corey taking bath… in her bathing suit of course, testing her goggles. There’s a nose cover and she wants to make sure it works before she uses it in the pool.

I hope she's tired because I am...
