Good grief this time of year is always so busy. I finally have a few minutes to myself though so I thought I would jump in here and try to go through the posts and blog a bit. So here is what is going on in my world.

I have DH working on building us a play gound area. To me this is a form of survival prep because I will be able to get so much more done if my son ( and what ever other under 12 year olds I have running around) have a safe area with things in there to actually play on and with. Well, that's the theory anyway. I hope it proves true, my son is already spending more time outdoors and being active just to help get the ground ready and the landscape timbers down. He thinks he is quite the little man with his little cart picking up sticks and rocks and hauling them away. I know at the very least he will get more exercise, so even if my master plan fails there will still be some good to come out of it.

One of my daughters is sick with something so it's off to the doctor in the morning. I thought it was just allergies but now her throat is sore and she has a low fever so.... better find out what's up. We have not had anything in our area reported so I am thinking that if anything she probably picked up strept throat. (Sorry I know my spelling is so bad.) The thing is I really hate the thought of going into the doctor right now. I know this sounds a little silly, but there are sick people there, and I hate taking my child there not knowing who is sick with what.

I've also been invaded by moths. I'm not going to say alot about that since I'm going to post on it in the mistakes post. Suffice to say I am not a happy camper and have officially declared war on the little buggers!!! I'll come around in a few weeks and try to find some humor in the experience and chalk it up to a lesson learned but right now I'm just disgusted by the whole thing.

As I said before things are busy. The end of the school year , and the end of scouts and softball season is just around the corner, so there is a ton to be done. I really wanted to be able to blog once a week but I guess it will be a when I can find the time thing. We can all only do what we can do though, another one of those lessons I'm working on learning. I did manage to get alot done in my prep book while my feet weren't working, so when I have more time I will blog and post on that. Til then take care!!!
