January 19th!

Wow, the time seems to be flying by! Trying to get into a better routine for school, etc. I need to make a visual chart for the kids to go by or something! Fighting off a migraine the past 3 days, but feeling better today - actually got up and went out for a jog/speedwalk this morning - beautiful outside! I need to do that everyday - gets me motivated for the day and good for my mind and body! Last week, ended up bringing home a lab/shepherd mix puppy for our "farm". So far, doing pretty good. A few accidents here and there... Brooke and Curt were gone for the weekend and Saturday morning, she wouldn't eat, then started getting sick from both ends and finally I saw something disgusting come out (outside, thankfully) and took her to the vet where he promptly wormed her and gave her her shots. She weighed 17.1 pounds at 8 weeks old! Big girl! I took her for a walk out back this morning after I came back from my walk - didn't know if she'd make it with me that far! She always has to carry something in her mouth - so cute! She's playing with the kids right now - everyone perches on a couch or chair to avoid her teeth. A few pieces of clothing have holes in them.... sigh... I hope she will turn into a good dog. Maybe we will do obedience classes in the future to help that along! The cats avoid the floor as much as possible as well! Watch out:)

Jeremy is now working on our bathroom tub. We don't know if it's fixable so we'll see! Bummer... very big cracks in this one. He's been enjoying helping the neighbor with the calves and other things. They harvested some of our corn 2 days ago and will finish that this week more than likely. Jeremy and Erin hand picked a 5 gallon bucket and have been grinding it fresh every morning to feed our chickens with! The chickens have started laying 2-3 eggs a day again finally! They seem much happier - letting them out during the day to free range and roam about! Erin hung out with daddy outside all day Saturday. Days like that and I don't even have to tell her to go to bed! I am going to get everyone outside for awhile today after lunch! We'll go for a walk out back or something, we all need fresh air!

Went to church Sunday both services. Got groceries at Meijer's after morning service. Sunday night, something told me it wasn't going to be a good night. I was right. Sitting in church with Isaac, Erin and Brooke, Isaac to the right, Erin and Brooke to the left. All of a sudden, I heard a "t00t" from Isaac. He started giggling, I tried real hard NOT to giggle, Brooke also tried, but didn't succeed - had to hang her head low, covering her face with her hair! Erin didn't hear, thank goodness! Gave him the evil eye... not even 10 minutes later, another "toot" and giggle. Go get a drink of water and get a hold of yourself. Comes back in giggling!!! Ok, get a hold of myself... another one! By this time, Erin had fallen asleep while drawing. When I got up to take Isaac out, Erin woke up complaining she wanted to draw, still (LOUDLY)... I felt like EVERYONE was looking at me and my out of control kids!!! :0) How come I had a hard time not losing it laughing wise! I needed to be serious! Sorry pastor and congregation and the Badours who were sitting behind us! I need the back back row from now on!

Ok, had another good laugh (sorry!)... off to lunch.. Have a great day!

So, off to do lunch and other things. Have a great day!
