I was looking for some great blogs and I found yours.
Your layout is great, posts are easy to read... All around, it's a great journal.
As we were packing milk to take to a friend yesterday morning I heard CRASH! Then felt something cool and wet on the back of my pants. MN had allowed a full cold GALLON of milk to slip out of her hands. Anyone know how far a gallon of milk can spread and splatter when it shatters the jar? I glanced behind me and started saying KITTY KITTY KITTY!!!!!! Kids started gathering glass. I finished pouring milk and washed up as they brought every critter they could find that might want milk in. After we fill the critters we mopped up the rest and got back on schedule to go visit a friend.
I had made bread to take and fished the peach cobbler out of the freezer. I really need to do that again only make a bunch! We have one left. They taste fresh and good when we warm them.
Then we were off for a fun filled day of fellowship. We went to a friends house and two other friends came. Total kid count was..... 4, 3, 6, 4... so 17 kids and 4 moms. J hung out with us moms until swimming then went swimming with the littles. She was the oldest. Two of the other moms have girls in her age range but for different reasons they didn't get to come. We did get to meet one later as I picked her up in town and delivered her home.
Today we will have known J in person one week. So how long does the honeymoon last? So much I was told about her isn't true, but the part about if we meet her we will fall in love is very true. She is very very likable! She isn't underfoot near as much as MN is. She isn't the chatter bug that MN is. She is helpful and enjoyable. That said she also doesn't put her stuff up until ask... twice! at least
She is full of sunshine.
Biggest kid issue is she is bossy.
I agree with them! We have talked about it. Today I told her I am guessing everywhere she has been she goes in and takes charge of the littles for the Foster mom. That becomes her job. She first said well if mom isn't there I baby sit. I said no even when mom is there it is easier to let you do it because you do it well. She agreed. I told her she couldn't have my job! I LOVE my job! She gets to be a kid and a sister not the mom
Then we talked about that it does bug the kids since they have a mom that is a mom. She is going to have to learn a new role. She has been adopted out of her job. This was on the way home today we will see. I know it is a HUGE habit. She is good over all with the littles. I watched her in the pool today and the way she watched out for them and played and just was good with them. I do have to chuckle at the fact I have her now and not Foster mom.
Today everyone is sleeping late. I have one child up. He even made coffee when he got up. I seldom make coffee if I am up first until others get up. I just drink it all if I do. We had talked about going to the flea market, but when I got up and looked at the radar I nixed that! It has now been raining up there for 2 hours off and on.
Our other plans for today or to go to my grand daughters birthday party about lunch. If it is raining I think we will skip that too! Staying home sounds really good.
I am tired. I know it is more a mental tired than physical. It is part of adjusting to a new family member. In time I will adjust and not be stressed and on guard to put out fires before they flame into uncontrolled blazes. For now I am stretched think with lots of, "Mom we need to talk!" times from each of the kids. I try each time to make time to hear their complaint. Some are good some are oh well adjust!
I hope everyone has a blessed day! I am off to have coffee with my husband!
