Family

Family,
As Christmas approaches I start to think about family and how things used to be. I miss the closeness my family used to share. I always saw my 1st cousins, who were more like my brothers and sister, on Christmas Day. Now I'm doing good if I see them once every 2 or 3 mths. I miss them. I miss the things we used to do together.

Part of this is my fault and I know I need to make a better effort to go see them myself, but I admit it's hard, there's only so many weekends in a month.

Maybe if we all took more time to spend with family things would get better in this world. I recently visited a great Aunt that I hadn't seen in 10yrs. It was a shock to realize it had been that long since I'd seen her. She was and is still, never far from my thoughts and prayers and it just felt like I'd seen her more recently than 10yrs. I'm not hoping to visit her every 6mths at least. Maybe if I plan in to visit family at certain times it'll become habit again and happen more often.

Fall is in the air?

Well it's Oct time for getting ready for fall, harvest, Halloween and soon Christmas. Okay so I'm already ready for Christmas. I'm wondering if Fall is really in the air though. For some reason it doesn't feel like fall. It's cooler some days but doesnt' look or feel much like fall to me. I'm reading, taking the kids to school and looking forward to the holidays.

Babies just woke so I gotta go.

hugs,

Life is good

Well the month of Aug is ending and life is good. My babies are fine, my hubby is good and happy to have his home inspections license. I'm doing good. There is a bad spot my mom is not doing good.Her back is causing her pain and she's out of work but at least she's still here. I do worry about her.

My baby will be 5 soon and we still haven't decided how to celebrate he wants to go to the mountains and ride trains. I think we will do something small for family and a few friends then save the money to take him to see more trains.

I'm eager to write more and hubby is eager to do some home inspections. So we'll just have to wait and see what Sept brings.

WendyK

Wow July is gone and Aug is here

Let's see July. Well I only read 9 books in July and I did get to go to RWA in Atlanta. I had a good time and my baby boy got to see Thomas the train so he was thrilled. I didn't see all the authors I would have liked but I did have a great time.

It's August now and I've read more books in the last 10days than in all of July. Sad really. My baby boy turns 5 in Sept I'm looking forward to it and I'm saddened to think he'll be 5. He's growing up so fast.

We have baby dragons now. They are soo cute. We plan to sell some of them. okay gotta run.

hugs,

June is all but gone

Well June is almost gone. Today's the last day and we finally got our hot water heater fixed. Well okay so we did it a little while back and I just hadn't posted about it. But we are still waiting on insurance money to fix the other stuff. Hopefully we'll get that soon.

My hubby passed his test and is now a Home Inspector which is really great. We are working on getting him a website up and business printed and all. He's excited and I think it'll be good for him.

My babies are doing good, if they don't aggravate each other to death. With the fourth of July on a Tuesday this year we aren't sure what we'll be doing this weekend.

My babies love to watch the fireworks. I just hope they will understand the meaning of the daying when I try to explain it. It's such a great day to honor those who helped make our freedom possible.

As for reading well I just finished Kimberly Raye's SWEET AS SUGAR, HOT AS SPICE. It was a great read. Had a NASCAR hero, Linc Adams!!!

Now I'm not sure what I'll read next.

Until next time,
Wendy

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all. I grew up with a "true" father in the sense of having a "dad" to call on everyday. But I did have an older cousin who filled the roll of Daddy better than many men could have. He is only a few yrs older than me but always managed to seem like my protector, friend, and at times my worst enemy. I still adore him. And hope he knows just how much I love him and appreciate all he did for me. There where times I'm not sure I'd have made it without him.

I have a stepdad, now. He's nice and he's good. I do love him even though we haven't been a family for long. I don't feel I need a "daddy" anymore but it's nice to have him around.

Then I have a great fatherinlaw. I love him as well. He's a great fatherinlaw.

And I have my hubby who is the best dad in the whole world. He adores our kids, even if he does like to pick on them! He's there when I need him and he's a great provider for us all. He works hard to give us the things he can. For that I hope he has a great day.


To all the "Dads" out there have a great Father's day!!!! Anyone can be a father but it takes a special man to be a Dad!

Hot Water Heaters

Well we've had a mess the last few days. Our hot water heater busted on Wednesday night around midnight. Water was everywhere in our room our bathroom the kitchen and the utility room. It was a mess. We still haven't heard from the adjuster yet. I'm hoping we will soon.

Either way it's a big mess. Now we have to get a new one. And hubby didn't understand how I could be so upset with my stuff getting wet. From books to christmas stuff that was in our closet!

So we have a busy weekend ahead of us. Add in my son's got a birthday party to attend and I'll be busy all weekend long.

Kids and the whining

What is up with kids and the whining? It seems with mine at least that they go through phases. Some weeks they hardly whine they don't make each other cry or yell. Then some weeks, like this one, all they want to do is whine about everything. I'll admit we left them with my mom for the weekend but usually when are away from them for a few hours they are on their best behavior when we see them. This week, they are driving me nuts. Then you add in a hubby who wants to whine and complain and I'm about ready to send them all somewhere.

I love my family a great deal. But sometimes!

I fuss but in truth I have great kids. I let them get away with too much, I know this. But it's hard to be tough when they give me that look. They know moma's a push over, until I start using that middle name. Then they know it's time to get right or they lose a toy, usually their favorite one. Hey it's the best thing we've found for getting them to behave.

Now I'm off to stop a fight over who gets the toy stroller........

Eye Doctors, books and babies

Well my son's eye doc is retiring and there's not another doctor able to handle his case in our general area. So we'll have to plan on a 3hr drive to the eye doctor from now on. I can understand his doctor wanting to retire but still! I guess I'm just a little shocked and upset right now. She's been his eye doctor since befor he was a year old and did his 2 surgeries.

It's sad really. He's comfortable at this office and with this doctor. I guess life goes on.

On the book front I got Sherrilyn Kenyon's DARK SIDE OF THE MOON today. I can't believe I got it for $12.21!!! I'm thrilled beyond words. I also got Karen Marie Moning's SPELL OF THE HIGHLANDER and Kresley Cole's A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER.

Now I just have to read them:).

My hubby found out recently that shopping with 2 little ones alone is not fun. He says he'll never want to experience that again. LOL now he understands why I say it's not easy to keep up with what I need to get and deal with them.

It's a beautiful day here so I'm getting off here.

WendyK

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to one and all. This is a day meant to honor those who have paid the ultimate price to insure we are free. My cousin who is in the Air Force was home for a brief visit this past week. He left to head to his new unit on Sunday and while I didn't get to spend as much time with him and his family as I would have liked, I do hope he knows just how much I love and admire him. He is a hero in my eyes and has been for years.

I hope that someday this country will finally realize that Memorial Day is not about having a day off. It's about remembering those lost to us during times of great need. Not all have died during war, but that doesn't make their loss any less as profound. And we as Americans should take a few minutes and remember those lost and those still working to keep us free.

There is a website, www.remember.gov that I think many should visit. It will give you a better idea of the loses we've endured and the fact that we are in fact free because of these brave men and woman. Many of whom are never recognized publicly.

I, myself just want to say Thank You to all those who serve in the military no matter what they do, for all their hard work. You make us proud!

The Last day of Preschool

Well my baby had his last day of Preschool for this year today. Now he's out for summer and he's said he's not happy about it. He liked school! LOL


I'm looking forward to not having to leave the house so early to take him, but I swear life is busier now than before.

I got 4 new books today as well.
And I'm looking forward to some down time.

Okay gotta run

Dental pain

Wow it's been awhile since I've posted. But then I've been dealing with aLOT of dental pain. Had oral surgery last Friday, not fun. Actually it didn't hurt in the office, but I've been miserable since then. I feel tons better today but still not myself. Hopefully soon I will be.

Let's see what has life brought recently. Well I've been writing, I'm kinda stuck right now. Since my hero for one book doesn't want to talk. Ohh no he's decided that he wants to lay low for a bit, he's not sure he wants to find love. And the other book I'm writing is going good I just ran into a snag I have to correct before going on.

My son's last day of school is coming up soon. He's not ready for it to end. He started speech therapy as well. So that's good. Baby girl will be glad to have him home for the summer all day :). She misses him when he's gone.

My hubby has been extra nice at times and then a pain at times. What is it with men? I swear they have more mood swings than women do!

Ohhh if you like to read or write or just help out with a great cause be sure to check out www.brendanovak.com and go to her online auction to help with diabetes in kids. It's a great cause and some great things up for auction. Certainly worth everyone checking out.

Okay that's it for tonight.

hugs to all

Kids and glasses

Well my little man got his glasses on Monday. He'll still have to wear a patch 4hrs a day and have drops for his good eye to help his bad eye. But they wanted in glasses as well. Everyone has gotten such a kick out of him. When we took the prescription in he threw a fit because he didn't get to wear them home. So we got a call on Thursday the glasses where ready. Well they where closed on Friday so it was yesterday before we could get them. He sat there while they were adjusted so perfectly and was sooo excited he got glasses. He had to show them off. Wanted me to go to Wal-mart cause he needs a blue glasses rag and a better pouch and anything else for his glasses. He wore them for awhile but I took them off so he could sleep and he's wore them off and on today. We are letting him get used to them with longer spells before making him wear them all the time. But so far he's excited about wearing them. He's so cute with it. Now Sissy wants a pair too. She must do what Brother does.

so now we'll see if this and the other stuff helps that bad eye at all. I truly hope it does.

Elvis and American Idol

OKay anyone that knows me, knows I'm a huge, HUGE Elvis fan. And have been since well since birth basically. Since I'm told I would stop to listen to him even as a baby. I have posters, pictures, books, CDs, tapes, Albums,shirts, a knife, money, newspapers, etc with him. So I was excited and nervous about this weeks Idol. I knew few would be able to do justice to Elvis and I was right. I hated Taylor's first song. I absolutely hate Elliott and Katherine. Both of the screwed up the songs IMHO. Chris did great with song one and okay with song two, Taylor did better with song two. But if I had to pick I'd pick Chris. Out of who's left he's the only one with the talent that needs to go forward. The rest esp Elliot would be torture to hear sing too much. Taylor I could probably do okay with, but the other two. I'd rather have my ears pulled off than listen to them. They suck big time.

Okay I'm done with my idol ranting now. I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow night.

And BONES is back, yea!!!! I hate when they don't show BONES!

WendyK

Reptiles anyone?

LOL okay so the NC Reptile and Exotic Animal Expo was today. We went and had a great time! We got a couple of reptiles. Now we are all worn out. Even though we only stayed a short time. We saw monkeys, a baby ape, an alligator(yes it was alive but the mouth was taped shut.....) and we saw camels, a couple of baby bengal tigers(my faves!) some kitties for sale, some small ponies and sheep and such. Along with the snakes, spiders, roaches, frogs, lizards, birds(OMG there where birds everywhere!!!) It was interesting but we missed a couple of people who the website said would be there but we didn't see them.

Now I'm off to read and try to forget how much money hubby spent

WendyK

Mini-vacations

Well I'm not sure if anyone else takes what I call mini-vacations or not, but my parents took me and the kids to the beach for the weekend and I call that a mini-vacation. My parents basically watched the kids. I got to just relax without worrying about them. While we didn't do anything beachy but shop and eat, the water was too rough and cold and it was too windy to fish from the pier. It was still nice to spend time with my parents and my brother.

I love going to the coast. No matter what the weather is like. It's just a peaceful place to me. And NC has some of the best beaches in the world!

Now it's back to reading, not that I'm complaining or anything

Tarot readings

Recently I posted over at The Midnight Hour blog, a great blog BTW. One I adore visiting everyday even if I don't post. Well they had a guest blogger Karen Minnis-Guignard, an author, psyhic, and tarot card reader. I won a tarot and Intuitive Reading from her. It's a great read too. I'm posting what she had to say below. I'd love to know what others think about readings, and psyhics.

Tarot and Intuitive Reading
And the winner is: Wendy K.

TAROT AND INTUITIVE READING by KAREN MINNIS-GUIGNARD

Congratulations Wendy and thank you for your reply. I am doing your reading with the Rider deck of Tarot cards and with the assistance of my guides, Joseph, Charles and Juliet.Spirit says you are an incredibly gifted and generous person who puts everyone (especially your family) first. Doing things for yourself doesn't come easily and you require a push (so to speak) from your spouse to even go shopping just for you at times.Your cards in order are: Knight of swords, inverted, Ace of pentacles, Wheel of fortune inverted, the Empress, two of cups inverted, Ace of wands, ten of cups inverted, four of pentacles, inverted, the Chariot, and the Star inverted.Some of the messages coming through go with the listed meanings of the cards, but sprits often shows me images through the cards that expand and often present alternative meanings: so here's the summary for you:You show as a brave woman who normally meets challenge and opposition head on, however, as of late, you have taken a more passive stance to avoid conflict. This is wise for the most part, however, be sure not to lose yourself in compromising your character, there is a lot to be accomplished by you if you stay true to your nature.You have tremendous success and achievement in your cards, that book you have in your hands will go to publish quickly, so be sure to get all your typed and editing completed before the end of this month and make your submissions faithfully. Spirit suggests you have been apprehensive about approaching your top goal agent/publisher for fear you aren't good enough: go to the limit: you can't win the lottery if you don't play! Take a chance, the worst you can hear is no, go for it, you'll be pleased with your results.You are on a new and destined path including books, pamphlets and other forms of information coming your way. It is not coincidence that items are coming to your attention, read them and make use of what seems applicable.You are in a very fruitful and productive phase in your life, this could apply to both career and family, there is a strong possibility you will be getting a pleasant visit from the stork with a boy in the near future. If this does not apply in the baby department, it could still be referring to publishing, but spirit is very strong about birth and baby boy... congrats if that is to be the case.Celebration is bountiful, but some bittersweet, be sure to support your spouse in his accomplishments as his pride could be getting bruised with all your upcoming success. Don't sabotage your own, but encourage his too.Family and home is essential to you, and harmony is of the utmost importance. This is achieved very easily in your home and great joy is filling your home, family and own life. Very positive reading...Money matters have been tight and trying at best, but that will soon improve: it has created some tension on the home front that will be alleviated, however, you becoming a bigger breadwinner could again cause some discord: work to find balance and mutual support with your spouse. Be sure to keep you income increase quiet and not to alert too many as it will draw additional attention and create other dynamics you don't seek with others (looking for handouts).You are not an argumentative person by nature, so when people bicker around you, it's tough to handle, let them fight their own battles and come to resolution together: you tend to be the peacemaker and might interfere with their natural life lessons of conflict resolution. Plug your ears or busy yourself with something else while they figure it out for themselves. This could apply to children, as well as family and friends who get at odds with each other. People have a tendency to seek you out to intervene, but it's really not needed. They can handle it.Last but not least, spirit suggests you have experienced some loses recently that have troubled you, it seems to be more materialistic than mourning of any sort. This feeling will pass. We often lose old, unneeded things to make way for new things, even if we don't want to part ways, life has a way of moving things along despite our resistance.There are wonderful things on the horizon for you in the very near future, a few weeks to a few months, so buckle up and enjoy the ride, it's been a long time coming!All the best and I hope you enjoyed your reading. Don't worry about items that might not appear relevant. I often suggest to my clients to take what applies and tuck the rest away, it usually makes sense when you least expect it!Light and love,Karen

Gas Prices

Man I just have to say something about Gas Prices. They are driving me nuts for one thing. For another why is it so much more in some areas than others espeically if it's the same dang company ie WilcoHess, selling the gas? What the price goes up 5 miles down the road because it cost them more to take it to store #2 than it did store #1? Come on that's just bull. I drive an '88 Jeep Cherokee and as anyone who owns an SUV can tell you they are not the best on gas. However it does outdo my fatherinlaw's old truck anyday. It's not bad but it's not that great either. It took us $41 to fill up on Thursday and I'll have to fill up again probably on Wednesday or Thursday but we haven't really been anywhere since we filled up either. And I live in the boonies so the idea of taking a bus or public transportation just doesn't make sense. I have to wonder how bad it will get with summer getting closer. I think I'm starting to agree with my husband who wants to switch to a car that can use old cooking oil(yep there's a way to use old cooking oil as fuel, go figure). I know something needs to give. We are just spending way too much on gas that could go to other things, like books. Either way these prices are just outrageous.

OKay I've gotten that whining out of my system.

Author Signings

On Wednesday I headed West to an author book signing with Paranormal and historical romance author, Sherrilyn Kenyon. The picture above is me and Sherri. I had a blast. This is the second time I've met Sherri, the first was a luncheon in Ala last year. And it's my 4th author signing. I've been to the RWA signing in NYC in 2003, the luncheon last year, and a signing for Inspirational author, Don Brown(a great author who writes a JAG series that fans of the old JAG show would adore!) and this signing on Wednesday. It was in Charlotte, NC and was a blast to attend. It was a big group which will hopefully mean more authors headed to NC for signings in the romance genre. I got to meet some great ladies, laugh, talk books, and in general have a wonderful time. I wonder how many fans drive hours just to see their favorite authors in person. It's like meeting a movie star or something, only most authors are a LOT more down to earth. I look forward to attending more. Now to search and see if any other authors will be in my state or near it in the near future.

Easter and families

Well Easter had passed. This year was good. We went to my mom's on Sat and hubby's grandmother's on Sunday. The Kids had fun, but I must say that at times I have to wonder about families.

We didn't get to see my cousins' this year but maybe next year we will or maybe for the 4th of July. I miss doing all the holidays with them and seeing them almost everyday. That's one of my biggest regrets about living my hometown is not being with my family as much. My mom is almost 2hrs away as well and I hate that. At some point in the next few years I'd love to buy land and build a home closer to her. More midway between inlaws and her. I know my inlaws will hate that, since I know they won't venture to come see us. If they can't come 5miles why would they travel 45?

Easter did make me think about the Easters I had as a Kid. I think the one I remember the best was the year I got a plastic wheelbarrow. We all got one filled with candy and goodies. It was a cheap plastic thing but man we loved those things. My cat, Lucy(he was male but I didn't know that when I named him and he never would come to any other name, so he was Lucy). Anyway I'd put him in the wheelbarrow and my cousin would put one of the dogs in their's and we'd race.LOL. We had the best time just playing the yard no real need for alot of money being spent, no need to go anywhere. We had all we wanted. We had kids to play with, toys that we loved,pets that let us do things we really shouldn't have, and the love of my mom and Grandma. What more could we want? It was so simple back then. We didn't worry about money or paying the bills, or if things where going alright at home. All we cared about was how long after the lights came on would we be allowed to stay outside and play monster or statue and who would have to be it to start with and if we'd get to stay out later since it was a holiday or not. We didn't know just how good we had it. Now it's just another day to spend way toooo much money on things the kids won't remember what they did with in 2 weeks time. I miss the old days so much. I think it's part of why I have no desire to live in a populated area. I want to live out in the country where my kids can explore the woods as I did, where you can run all day long and never see a car come by, where you hear every animal in the woods at night and can name them, where life somehow seems less rushed and more laid back. I want my kids to remember a life a without being inside all day playing gameboy or watching TV. Isn't that odd? As a teen I was bored and wanted a faster life, I wanted to live uptown, I wanted to be in the middle of all the excitement, now I want nothing to do with any of it.

Just some pictures I wanted to post

Here are some pictures I wanted to post. The first is just fun. The second is our male leopard gecko. The 3rd one is one of our female bearded dragons. I took the dragon and gecko to my son's school on different days. The kids loved them.

MEN!!!

I swear sometimes I think life without them would be sooooo much better. I honestly believe men have a monthly just like women. They just don't necessarily have the evidence we have for it. I adore my husband, I love him dearly, but sometimes I'd love to send him on a one way trip to the moon. I know some of you feel this way as well. I mean I'll talk about tonight. He goes to his parents, calls me to say he's going by there to drop off the new floor for the other house(okay so it's a mobile home still we are putting in hardwood floors---don't ask this is another of those MEN moments) and I ask if he's eating up there. He tells me "yes if she'll cook for me". Umm she never doesn't cook for him! So I talk to him later on and he's according to him dog tired from putting that floor in a room up there.(just for storage mind you) anyway he comes home and after being here for 3hrs starts in on why I didn't cook. Um I cooked for me and kids at 6:30 when he was at his mommy's. I told him there was stuff in the mircowave. He didn't get up, so I put it in the fridge. He proceeds to get mad because I didn't serve him his food. Umm not your maid here! He knows I hate it when he tries to act like I'm his mom. Nothing against his mom really. She's great. I love her, but she's from a totally different generation of women. Add in I was brought up by 2 very independent women, and you don't get a woman who's gonna 'serve' her husband. Esp without him asking me nicely. So now he's mad I'm on the computer and goodness he might have to watch the two rugrats for 20mins without me. OMG that's too much to ask. Afterall he worked all day. All I did was take 2 children under 5 to the doctor, which took hrs of keeping them from destroying the new doctor's office, then went shopping for cold meats and stuff for the next week, with these 2 children who where not in the mood to be cooped up again in a buggy. Ohh that wasn't work. Naw that's easy. He just had to supervise some construction workers today OMG he did so dang much I feel sorry for him. Okay I know he works hard some days, but some day she does nothing! I mean it's not that hard to supervise grown men who know what they are doing and just need you in the building, boring but not hard. Okay now the babies want mom to go to bed so I'm off to sleep. Hope this Easter is a blessing for all.

American Idol and my day

Well Bucky is gone from American Idol, as a Tarheel, I feel sadness for him and the loss of him on the show,but I must admit I was never a fan of his. I will say I still think Elliott and Katherine should be gone. Something about both of them irks me. I'm not sure what. Next week should be interesting, it's getting down to the ones I'd hate to see leave,but know that one of them must go.

Now onto my day. Well my son has his Easter Egg hunt at school. It was the last day for students for a week as well. He had fun and so did me and his sissy. Princess of course thought she was just as big as buddy and should be able to do whatever he did. We left school went and got his haircut then went to get his glasses ordered. He got upset because we didn't leave witht he glasses. Most kids don't want glasses, my son is upset he doesn't already have his. Hopefully this means when he gets them, he'll actually wear them! We have from 3-6 weeks to wait for them to arrive so we'll see.

Then hubby comes home and of course being a man is set to get on my nerves. I'm not sure why,but he just wanted to iriate me tonight. It might have to do with the fact that I want him to fix my A/C! It's not working, now the fan won't even come on and I'm sorry but I don't want to be sweating before I get somewhere.

If you wonder about the fonts I'm trying to see which one I like best.

So now it's time for bed, if I can get off here and not go looking at others blogs.

Historical romances

I recently read a historical romance that had the couple going through many strifes without benefit of marriage or even really being together. And it got me to wondering, is this a better storyline to me or do I prefer the ones that have said hero and heroine in the struggles together. I find that it all depends on the writing. I think if it takes too long for our hero/heroine to finally get together I lose interest in the story. I want them to fight their battles together. Doesn't matter of it's an outside threat or misunderstanding or just self esteem issues. I think I do honestly prefer the couple be together, even if they seperate for a time, at least they where together. While some stories work with a couple being together at the beginning then being seperated then together at the end, I don't care too much for a story that has them falling in love then suddenly seperated without umm fulfilling that love. So I'm wondering what others think and prefer.

A new day

LOL a new day in the life of the zoo keepers. That's what we aught to be. With two kids, Princess and Buddy who don't understand that some things they just can't do yet. Like feeding mealworms to dragons. Not something a 4 and 2 yr old need to do. When my hubby gets up in the morning it's usually not long before 2 little ones are tagging along behind him to help feed the dragons and geckos. They thing it's alot of fun and can't wait until they get one in their rooms.

And the same thing happened this morning. Only with a slight difference. This morning at 3 am, the two little monsters where up ready to do daddy's work for him. Needless to say that they had not done it exactly right seeing as they can't reach the cages or display cases for the animals. Hubby had the honor of cleaning up the mess, while moma got a little more sleep. Afterall staying up until 3 am to play with a blog is important.:)

Now I'm off to read finish reading some books and see what else these little monsters get into. Tomorrow Buddy gets glasses and hopefully a haircut.

Tired so done for tonight

I'm done for tonight so ignore the errors. Iwill work on replacing things with exactly what I want tomorrow, maybe.

Wow this is fun!

Bare with me as I learn how to set this thing up right. Im trying a new template and trying to figure out how to use it all and get just what I want.

Hi Mad!!! This is fun.

Reading

Well I'm a stay at home mom normally so I read all the time, or whenever I can. I just finished Jill Shalvis' HER SEXIEST MISTAKE. It was a good read and I'm hoping a character named Hope will have her own story.

I have a new respect for teachers of toddlers

I have a new respect for teachers of toddlers after today. I helped sub at my son's preschool and I was/am so tired. After running around after 3yr olds and my 2yr old, I don't know how they do it all day and stay patient with the kids and don't go crazy. I had fun, it was great being around all those kids, but they have engery! I thought my two where overly active, now I know better!

Thankfully once I got my two in the car they went to sleep and went to bed early tonight. Which is what I should be doing instead of playing with this new blog. But here I am playing anyway.

I do hope they call again, while it was tiring, I'd love to do it again. I'm thinking of going back to school for teaching younger kids once mine are a little older now. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed being in a room full of lively kids.

Our life

Well we have an interesting life. We have 6 bearded dragons, 4 leopard geckos, I think 7 dogs, 2 kids, and us. Never a dull day to be had in our family.
