Right now... i wait

I am trying to be more positive... to look forward to more, to see the good in things. See the larger picture, CHOOSE MY BATTLES...

In the upcoming months we are going to be very busy. Now we are always busy, of course, but the busy i'm talking about includes leaving the house busy. Going to the beach, the Farmers Market, Big Dog heads to camp in a few weeks and when we pick him up there is a Rodeo, another Surgery for me, two Audiology appointments, Family pictures,a trip to Medicine Hat (we just booked the hotel!!!), a trip to three different Hutterite Colonies to visit family.

Aside from that its processing season, apple pie mixes, cherry pie mixes, canning canning canning...
This week our cherries come...... 100 LBS OF CHERRIES!!!

That's quite a bit...

Our time at HOME will be full of planning, packing, unpacking, healing, CLEANING(my favorite part by far), canning, yard care, work, work, and more work....

Its a busy life...

I find that my children are very well behaved when we go out if its a seldom occurrence. But as they spend more time out they see the world around them reacting and they start to try to "fit in". Yesterday while we were one had a crying fit... no actually scratch that TWO had crying fits, one was actually jumping from furniture piece to furniture piece at a friends home, and one literally would not let go of my legs every time i sat down (and it wasn't a baby), Birdie whips my tatas out of my shirt whenever shes in arms length, not to nurse, just to pinch or hold them....

Yesterday in my calm public demeanor my mind was screaming " WHO ARE YOU CHILDREN!!!"

This is not how we behave... well that is how Birdie behaves... but i'm working on that...

The rest... ugggg... lacking structure, discipline, a wholesome diet maybe? Whatever it is .... it stops today...

Family meeting to explain things, and a Stern.... "I will pack all of you up and leave if it gets out of hand"... the unfortunate thing is that this happens... the kids need that structure of a steady home life and a routine day... but our life wont allow for that right now...

market Saturday...... Church Sunday....... Monday Beach.... Tuesday my surgery, kids at a friends house... Wednesday ... haven't got that far yet.... its a busy life...

So right now we are enjoying the opportunities we have, hoping everyone will keep on track and looking forward to a quiet day around the house.
