...thirteen random things...
* This is our new Foster Dog, Missy. She's a sweetheart, and my new shadow. I can't walk without tripping over her. And for some reason known only to Missy...she has no tail!
* We didn't end up transporting the 4-day-old puppies this weekend. The rescue group decided they were too young to travel. Bummer!
* Wednesdays are early out days for my Princess. I have decided to start carving out individual Mom & kid time for all of the kids, so today before we picked up the Ladybug, I took the Princess out for ice cream, and we strolled down the historic district of our little town. We had a really good time!
(please do not be alarmed by my make-up-free face!)
* My kids got a new baby sister on Tuesday. No, I didn't have a baby, sillies! Their stepmother did. They are so excited, and Princess thinks it's great that she's a Big Sister, but she still gets to be MY baby.
* I have ran my butt off non-stop all night at work tonight and I'm ready to go home and crash!
* I just walked into a patient's room, looking for a piece of equipment, and he informed me that I better get my ass out of there! ha! So I did.
* I am having a very hard time thinking of 13 interesting things to post about. Sad but true!
* I'm already seeing Halloween merchandise in the stores and I love it! I love Halloween, and decorating for Halloween.
* My motto lately has been "just smile and nod". When one of the kids is saying something totally crazy, I tell everyone else "just smile and nod". Sometimes it works well for me at work, also. It comes in quite handy.
* The internet connection at work tonight is extremely slow and won't load my reader. So now that I have a few minutes of downtime, I can't read blogs. I am so bummed!
* We have a new member of our family. A shiny bluish purplish betta fish named Savannah. She's quite pretty!
* My reader finally loaded up! Woot!
* On Tuesday, when I got home, I was incredibly exhausted. I went straight to bed and crashed. Apparently I was sleeping very, very deeply. I had forgotten to call J and let him know I was home safely, so he tried to call me.
Fourteen times.
I never heard the phone. So, he took an early lunch and drove the hour round-trip home to make sure I was OK. My poor husband! I felt so badly for worrying him like that.
I think he loves me. =)

You should rename your blog WONDER WOMAN. You do so many wonderful things!
What a sweet hubby!! Mine would just keep calling and calling then yell at me when I finally DID wake up and answer. :)
I am so glad I'm not the only mommy doing the smile and nod. I love my kids but sometimes when they're telling me a story it seems to take forever--and it's always disjointed and filled with lots of repetition and 'ums'. I pay full attention long enough to make sure it's not about anything dangerous/important/life threatening---and then I break out the smile and nod.
I'm sure this is not the best parenting tool but I consider it much better than yelling, "Will you get to the freaking point already?!"
Smile and nod! Ha! I love it! I'm trying that from now on. ;)
I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! Sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you, but seriously. I love halloween. I think I like it even more than my boys do. That is the only reason I am not curled up into a little ball sobbing about summer coming to an end. Yay Halloween!!!!
Wow. I think you are right. Sounds like your hubby love you! :)
Your husband is really sweet. Mine would do the same, he's a worrier. I love the picture of you and your daughter - gorgeous!
Hey there! I too have been going make-up free all summer...I love it! I am trying to convince myself that I look better without. bwahahahah. I look like the grim reapers sister.
I love you new fur baby. I wonder what happened to her tail?
Oh come see me...
Ah, well, she still can wag her butt.
Missy is cute. I hope the reason she is missing her tail is not sad. That's how you look make-up free? I should be so lucky if I can look half as good without make-up. "Smile and Nod". Very good policy. I do that with adults, too :-)
i wanted to leave this here just in case you don't go back and check my blog:
the grape picking place is on 441 just passed hitchcocks grocery. it's not a big place but you can't miss the handmade signs "grapes: u-pick"---it's literally like the next street after the store.
the fellow that owns it is about 800 years old and super nice. when we went he was charging 80 something cents a pound but was thinking of lowering it to fifty cents---so you might get an even better deal!
I love the "Smile & Nod" thing. I need to do that more often.
My 6th grader told me the other day that he sometimes laughs at jokes that he doesn't understand and wondered if it was wrong. I told him no, that's how you make friends! I also told him he should laugh at all of my jokes!!!
Five teenagers and I have smile and nod down to an art form! :-)
I'm jealous about the betta fish. I love them but have a tendency to kill fish, plants, etc. Thank God the kids seem to be immune to me!
Can you teach me too look that amazing without makeup??
PLEASE?
I like you make up free...very pretty. And I love the idea of individual time with each of the kids. What a good mama!
I think your make-up free face looks fabulous!! And I'm pretty excited about Halloween, too. It's the beginning of the decorating season for me. Love, love, love to decorate!
What a great husband you have! I would definitely say he loves you!
That is so great you are carving that time out for your kids. BTW, you look beautiful au natural!
I know that sometimes when I'm doing SAturday's sensational six it's all I can do to think of 6 things, much less 13. It's amazing how hard it is to think of things to write sometimes.
