House Full of Joy
Jun. 24, 2009
have you noticed...?

....no regular blog updates lately...

That would be most likely because I (the mommy) am trying to remember how in the world I did laundry, made dinner, managed a household with all of my little peeps present and no grandparent helpers :)  Yes, this week, I am "on my own" and getting along pretty well - I'd like to think, however, I'm pretty sure it might take me a bit to get readjusted! 

It is with great thankfulness, that I think back on all of the meals people brought our family during Charity's hospitalization, since I was hardly able to think beyond the next five minutes sometimes, let alone think of preparing dinner for my hungry group.  I am also so grateful for the laundry machine that kept humming throughout the day, keeping my family in clean clothes.  Grandma is pretty serious about laundry and getting it folded and put away!    Not to mention all of the walks and odds and ends jobs that were done by grandparents.  I had several personal shoppers who kept the fridge and closets stocked with toilet paper, granola bars and other life necessities...

So, back to me, and the present moment...I am grateful for sure to have all five children here with me, and though we might have a few "moments" what could be better than being together again?  What fun to attempt the first grocery shopping trip with five kiddos again...I can hardly wait...REALLY!!!

I miss being there to help you, too. I hope your grocery trip with all 5 goes well. You can do it, even if it doesn't! And enjoy the good things you eat!
I hope we can see you again soon!
Love you all....
