It comes in twos and threes...
Sickness, that is.
With the two littlest getting sick (fever/cough/vomiting) on the weekend, and still battling it,(minus vomiting, thanks to our beloved doctor). We wake up this morning to the older three barking like dogs, as the slight coughs they had yesterday turned into the full-blown croup.
Lovely.
Well, if misery loves company, I must be in heaven.
Take a look at this. Specifically, the state of Texas.
We'll be pursuing our vocations as hermits for the next week, and eating lots of chicken soup.
And praying that DH and I don't get it at the same time!!

Books for Boys
If you happen to have a boy (or two) around the ages of 7, 8 or 9...you really do not want to miss out on these gems. Robert Newton Peck, (author of A Day No Pigs Would Die) through the voice and experience of Rob, along with his best friend, Soup, has an amazing ability to capture the wit and wisdom of that uncanny time in a boy's life when adventure is still just around the corner, but their wings are slowly being spread and tried out... much to the chagrin of the adults around them.
Needless to say, there are some truly hilarious moments, and the voice of Norman Dietz is absolutely perfect in conveying the boys' absurd yet innocent pranks. One of my boys' favorite parts is where Soup and Rob are discussing the ranches they will own when they grow up, along with the airplanes that must accompany their new lifestyle.
Rob says:
When I fly over your ranch, Soup, know what I'll do to say "Howdy"?
And Soup answers:
Pee out the window.
And our two boys fall onto the floor, rolling over and over with uncontrollable giggles, (much like the protagonists) and then, gasping for air, rewind the tape again...
...and again,
...and again.
True 7 (& 9) year-old boy humor.

ABC's of Homemaking
I've been tagged by our dear friend Matilda!
Aprons- Y/N?
Nope. I have a few around here, but rarely, if ever, use them.
Baking- Favorite thing to bake?
I love to bake goodies... coffee cake, muffins, desserts!
Clothesline- Y/N?
No. Although when we moved in to this house 6 years ago, there was some sort of contraption outside which eventually became a pulley/tree climbing rope for the boys to use.
Donuts- Ever made them?
Yes! DH has made them a few times, and we dip ours in maple syrup. But we also patronize the local donut shop down the street, where the ladies there know us very well!
Everyday- One homemaking thing you do everyday?
Dishes, of course.
Freezer- Do you have a seperate deep freezer?
Yes. And we certainly use it!
Garbage Disposal- Y/N?
Yes.
Handbook- Y/N?
There is one? Oh, how much angst could have been avoided!
Ironing- Love it or hate it?
Isn't that what the dryer is for? Seriously, we tried to remedy the ironing aversion by purchasing an "over the door" ironing board, neglecting to remember that all of our doors are as tall as the ceilings, and so when I opened the ironing board, it came to my chin.
Very clever, that is what I am.
Junk Drawer- Where is it?
One in the kitchen, and one per kid in their rooms. Most of my kids are pack rats... wonder where they get it from?
Kitchen- Design and decorating?
Galley style, white appliances, white cabinets and saltillo tile floors. There is a bit of a "fruit" theme, and we've tried to pick up on that with the curtains in the eating area, and my dish towels and cutting board.
Love- What is your favorite part of homemaking?
Cooking and baking. I just love working with fresh herbs and veggies, and baking treats that make the whole house smell scrumptious.
Mop- Y/N?
Big downfall of mine. DH gallantly steps in and does it most of the time. I truly dislike doing it, but it needs to be done more often than it usually is.
Nylons- Wash by hand or in the washer?
Oh, the joy of living in Texas! I never wear them.
Oven- Do you use the window or open it to check?
Always open it, lets the yummy smell out!
Pizza- What do you put on yours?
Mine? Well, if I could, everything! But the kiddos like black olive, or ham and pineapple.
Quiet- What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
Blog, or read.
Recipe card box- Y/N?
Yes, but not all of the recipe cards are identically shaped, and many are just ripped out of magazines or scrawled on pieces of paper...
Style of house-
Late 50's with vaulted ceilings and other little touches (like floor-to-ceiling doors...even the closet doors!) I've tried to decorate it in a "french-country style" of tiled floors and lots of greens and homey burgundy's. (my fruit theme...)
Tablecloths and napkins- Y/N?
For guests, but usually not lace.
Under the kitchen sink- Organized or toxic wasteland?
Not toxic, all of our cleaning stuff is above the sink (thank you, DD#2). But not really organized. It's where we keep buckets, sponges, grocery bags (stinky diaper bags), garbage bags, etc....
Vacuum- How many times a week?
1 or 2.
Wash- How many loads do you do a week?
At least 14, usually more. I try to do two loads a day. The real question should be, How often do you get around to folding it and putting it away?
X's- Do you keep a list of things to do and cross them off?
Sometimes, especially if I have a party to prep for, or guests coming over.
Yard- Who does what?
DH does it all. And he helps inside the house too. He is so awesome that way.
ZZZ's- What is your last homemaking task for the day?
Turn on the dishwasher.
I have no idea who has done this, but here goes:
I tag: Portia, 4 and counting, and Michelle H.

Mom to Mom, friends for the journey...
There's a new blog about. And it's a wonderful resource for all young Catholic moms out there who may feel a bit lonely and need some cyber-space friendship. And for all of us old chickens? It's a nice place to pop in and offer some motherly advice and generally make nuisances of ourselves with all of our reminiscing and amazing wisdom gleaned from years of being perfect mothers.
:)
But seriously, this post had me thinking. The first commenter said that whenever she talks about mothering, she feels like she needs to apologize for "only have one child..." as if her experiences as a mom can only be validated by the number of children she has! As if one cannot really be a mother until one has two or more children. And unfortunately, it seems as if this woman has received some "comments" to that effect?
Now. My lovely friends who have more than one child, which one of us would like to go back to those "mother of one" days? Come on, now. Raise those hands high!
Yeah, me neither. Not for a million dollars.
For me, it was a time of extreme self-doubt. My first born was colicky, and I couldn't seem to get the nursing thing down. I suffered (silently) through post-partum depression (although my DH recognized it and helped me tremendously) and all while trying to hold down a full-time teaching job.
Then, finally, after getting through the end of the school year, I found myself stuck in Florida (yes, long story. we lived there while DH trained with then-GTE in Tampa...aka "home of the newly-wed and nearly dead" all of whom were mis-placed NYers...and being a NYer myself, I could appreciate their angst, trust me.) with an 8 month old, being a new "stay-at-home" mom and no friends to speak of. It was really hard. When we moved back to the Lone Star State, I soon became pregnant with DS #2, and all of my new stay-at-home mom friends were busy with their "two or more" children. I remember eagerly looking forward to the birth of #2, if only to ease the monotony of my days...
And now, I am so very busy, but also so much more knowledgeable. Not perfect, mind you, oh-so-very not perfect! But I am competent, and able, and a bit more self-assured in my parenting skills. I am better able to get a handle on the character of this family we have and I know my own mind a bit more when it comes to those important parenting questions of schooling and vaccinating and is it a cold or allergies?
Whenever I meet a "mom of one" I just want to hug her and reassure her that it truly does get better and easier. And when she says she can't imagine having more than one, because one is truly overwhelming, I whole-heartedly agree with her. One certainly is overwhelming. But I point out the perks of having many siblings and helping hands. How wonderful it is to have other playmates for the baby, instead of just me. How fun to see them romping together while I sneak away to make dinner or (*gasp*) go to the bathroom in peace!
And while I miss the peaceful "one-on-one time" with the baby, seeing it through the eyes of her siblings is a joy I wouldn't miss.
Not for a million dollars.
And now it's up to us to encourage and reach out to these "young moms of one" not just to advise, but to befriend.
:)

Super Reminiscing
How many of you all now have miniature Peyton Mannings running all over your house?
How many pieces of furniture have been moved or removed in order to set the stage for the big game?
How many bruises have appeared and touchdown dances performed in your living rooms?
How many, "Hey mom, did you see it when the Colts (blah blah blah)?" questions have you fielded today?
I have lost count, too. And even though DH took the boys to a Super Bowl party with some daddy friends and their sons, and the girls and I had a lovely evening watching Cinderella, having bean dip and chips and sprite, I was still able to catch the last half of the game.
And enjoy the fact that my sons can emulate and admire a team whose coach exhibits so much class and natural virtue.
That's the way it should be.

Menu Reprieve on Super Sunday
It's not often that a Mom gets three nights off in a row.
Three nights off from making dinner, that is.
And I am enjoying it immensely...
Go, Colts!

Whoa.
Forgive me for name dropping, just this once.
But Rachel Coleman of Signing Time fame has commented on my blog!
You all know how much I love the Signing Time dvd's, I've plugged them before, and got a few of you hooked, right?
She is an amazing person, with an amazing story.
Do go read, and support their awesome work.
Oh, tell her I said "hi."

Perfect Ol' Mamas
I found this post of Danielle Bean's to be very intriguing.
For most of my "mommy-hood" I have thought of myself as the newbie. I mean, I am still only 28 years old, right?
;)
And it constantly surprises me when younger moms with only one or two children come up to me and gush about how they "remember" when I had only one or three (since the time between having two and having three was very very short) and how they marveled at my awesomeness... or some such silly thing.
And NOW!
Well, now, apparently, I am one of those old Mamas who knows everything and whose life is officially over.
That's not what they say, of course. But, it's what I used to think of those "moms with 5+ kids".
Those moms were not rattled by anything. They were so laid back, and just smiled gently when they saw their two year old spraying Elmer's glue all over the floor. They all calmly accepted that they would not be able to consume an entire cup of coffee while it's piping hot, and finishing sentences was entirely overrated.
When I encountered these moms, I roundly turned up my nose at their lack-a-daisical parenting style and soundly ignored all of their well-meaning tidbits of advice.
Because I am oh-so-humble that way.
And I found out, among other things, that Someone upstairs has an amazing sense of humor.
I have pretty much swallowed back all of my earlier "perfect parenting" aspirations and become one of those moms. (minus the Elmer's glue reaction) For example, the recent Math fiasco? You betcha, a result of not listening to "one of those moms"...
So, when one of these "newbie moms" comes up to me and starts the gush, I am truly astonished. I try to never offer advice unless asked, and end up being very impressed with this younger set coming through. They are all so joyful, so capable, and yet so humble.
It gives us older Mamas hope.

Day in the Life
Michelle wrote a post a few days ago, outlining her day as a homeschooling mom. I found it interesting to see how her day went, and what challenges she faces, and how she triumphs over them.
So, like it or not, here was my day yesterday.
Since I didn't set the alarm the night before...
8:30 -get out of bed
:)
Take DD#3 out of her crib, get her a bottle, instruct the boys' in their job of getting themselves breakfast while snugging on the couch with DD#3.
9:00 -finish breakfast for everyone, including me, and help the little girls get dressed.
9:30 -start school by turning on the math dvd, get dressed while it's playing.
9:35-10:30 -assist 3 older kids with math, facts, and religion, rotating from one to the other. (in the meantime, field a phone call from a friend and return to find the school table empty and the children running around like banshees...)
10:30-11:00 -break time. check weather, news, blogs. get snacks for little ones.
11:00-12:00 -help 3 older kids with religion, Latin, geography, and spelling (again with the rotating) put on some soup for lunch. (the younger girls, this whole time, are either playing nicely or fighting or begging me to read/play with them... I try to include them in the "work" around the table as much as I can)
12:00-1:30 -make, eat and clean up lunch (and breakfast dishes), unload and load dishwasher, put DD#3 down for a nap, help DD#1 finish her religion. (did you know that angels are magic because they can see in the dark, just like chinchillas? -compliments of DD#2)
1:30-2:30 -put in laundry, supervise clean up, (aka stretch my lung capacity)make banana muffins (and get a huge kick out of DD#3's rendition of the banana knock-knock joke) and get changed into running clothes. pull meat from freezer for dinner.
2:30-3:30 -plug in kids, treadmill and CD player, and run/walk/jog/drag through 2miles. (FYI:The Backyardigan's "Astronauts Never Give Up" song has a perfect beat for stomach crunches)
3:30-4:30 -get DD#3 up from her nap, let her watch Signing Time while I shower. and realizing that meatloaf will not work for tonight, panic.
4:30-5:30 -decide to make leftover ham with a salad, some rolls and rice.
6:15 -dinner is ready, DH is home, and Mama is growling.
7:00 -bath time for girls, I clean the girls while DH cleans the kitchen. (all I can say is that dishes don't scream and cry and yell) boys have dessert.
8:00 -bath time for boys (self-sufficient...praise the Lord!) girls have dessert.
8:30 -put girls to bed: make bottle, fill water bottles, cover DD#3 approximately 322 times.
9:00 -threaten lives if we see faces appear in the livingroom, or hear names called from the bedrooms. cover children again.
9:30 -sipping hot cups of tea, relax on the couch with DH, ignoring huge pile of laundry that needs folding and school work that needs to be prepped for the morning.
11:00 -after watching half of Superman Returns, go to bed.
And then start it all over in the morning! Although this morning, I got up early and feel a bit more prepared for the day...
Here's hoping anyway. (and praying...how could we do this without prayer?? )
Have a Blessed Day All!
