So I am in the grocery store as a woman walks up to me and with amazement asks if all 6 are my children - I fought the urge to look around and say "what kids" "i don't have kids" and instead smiled and nodded.

It is odd to me, the mother of 5, that people see this as a weirdness, something less than normal.  I would have more children if it weren't for that full time job and doctorate I am working on....

The last few days have been so overwhelming though.... work, PTO, football and such.... I am certainly looking forward to the weekend!!

Football begins

I am sitting in daddy's recliner listening to the fish tank waterfall and contemplating the action that will become now that football season is here.  Our house is never really quiet, yet with 5 children, an exchange student, a rabbit, 5 lizards, 4 frogs and only two parents, well we are seriously outnumbered....

I start my official class tomorrow working towards my doctorate and principal certification.  I wonder how I will ever manage to juggle all of this?

"Momma - what time is church?" ok time's up....
