1. We are done with the Flu merry go round, although my daughter still has a little stuffy nose.
2. Its been the typical Portland weather, cloudy, raining and dull. Its been drizzling since last evening on and off and I am starved for sunshine.
3. Its spring break and the two of them are too quiet… should I check on them?
4. My daughter turned Nine 2 days ago and the first thing she said when she woke up was that she didn’t want to grow up. I must be doing something wrong….
5. My son’s new hobby has put a dent in my clearing out unwanted stuff spree – making stuff out of cartons and recyclables.
6. This year my flowers are probably due only in fall, I just started planting. Glad I am not a Farmer on who people depend for their supply of food. I would probably starve them this year.
7. We are going to the library later, have to get the books in order. I got a small handbook on trees in the Northwest and am amazed to find so many different kinds of Oak Trees. Need to educate myself about the trees here.
8. I have to organize the clothes closet and I am not looking forward to it. The Joys of having a Family – disorganized closets. I miss the “all in its place needing dusting once a week” time in my life. The Elders were right when they said “too many cooks spoil the broth”. Too many hands in the closet equals a dumpster.
9. I woke early and got the Pantry cleaned out.. now I don’t want to take anything out of there for fear of messing it up again..Silly aren’t I?
10. Need to find those craft books, to keep the little ones busy. I better check on the quiet ones.

everytime i read your blog i recognise myself into so many thoughts...kids being too quiet is always scary to a mother...organise closets...i think i decided to not notice anymore...a clean pantry wow! it is the same here when i get a clean pantry i do not want to use it for a while...you do nothing wrong she does not want to grow up because she feels good at home if she was thirty...could be a problem but she is only nine...
I think the thing you are doing "wrong" is to do all the house work. Your daughter must thing that this is a grown up duty and she wants to stay a child.
That's what I thought when I was 9. Why on Earth Mom should be asking me to help in the house? I am just a kid, I don't want to do THAT! Cooking??? eh... Cleaning? ME???????
I was so busy reading books... LOL!
She's like that too.. shes reading most times, lost in those stories, sometimes I think that must be an addiction. She does enjoy(and my son too) cooking with Me so I guess all is not lost yet :P. They both abhor cleaning up, I guess thats a gene thats common to all kids
1....Yayyy !
2....Typical California here... in the 80's ...nare na nare
3....ummm...Too quiet...YES !!! lol
4....She loves being your "little girl, maybe?
5....Cute...did he ever see Elephant Man ?? and the amazing buildings he made out of cardboard?
6....They will catch up... do a dance for them... They might 'rise' to the occasion...he he
7....My son has 13 Oaks on his property..all over 300 years old... they are tempermental..and love the right kind of attention..but a spectacular tree. I believe they are California Oaks...not sure..but they are grand.
8....HA HA !!
9...Take pictures !!
10...Have fun.... !! ( I think I like doing the crafts more than the little ones...we sure do have fun ) lol
I wish your daughter the best for her 2 days ago birthday!
