A Day in the Life of a Deputys Wife

I will give you the highlighted version of what has occurred in the last several months.  I don’t want to bore you with tiny details that don’t really matter AND I am too lazy to write much more than the basics.

1)  My step-daughter moved in with us several days after her high school graduation.  It was a complete shock she came to live with us.  I honestly didn’t think she would stayed more than a week, but she has.  It will be three months.  It has been nice having her here with us.  No problems.  At all.  Thank God.

2)  She will start her freshman year of college tomorrow.  For the first year (or two), she will live with us and drive back and forth.

3)  Did you know that a person can register for college, file FAFSA, and get student loans within 30 days?  Well, you can.  We did it.  Since her mother never did.  Oops, I wasn’t supposed to say that.

4)  It is official.  Every single child in this household is attending school.  Jack is a kindergartner!  It seems like he was just born yesterday.  My babe is in full time school.  Sigh.

5)  I told The Deputy I should become a stay at home mom.  He wondered why I would want to do that since all the kids are in school now.  And I said, Exactly.

6)  In March-ish we decided to remodel the kitchen.  Big Time.  By the time we got done with the kitchen designer, we decided to move the kitchen to another part of the house.  And move the location of our downstairs bathroom.  The cabinets, flooring, fixtures, shower, toilet, sink, on and on, are all on stand-by waiting for the contractor.

7)  The contractor has delayed our project twice.  Now, his official start date is Jan. 4th.  It’s really not his fault, there has been some unforeseen problems with his other projects.  He is a great guy and came highly recommended.  I just want him here NOW!

 I am seriously considering moving this blog back to blogger.  I hate the templates.  I get disgusting spamalot comments.  I don’t like how my blog looks.  Blah Blah Blah.

9)  In my crazy mind, if I go back to blogger, which is what I am familiar with.  Maybe, just maybe, I will start writing again.  Maybe.  (Also, blogger is free.)

10)  That’s it.  I have a little more to tell you, but let’s see if I can drag my butt back to the computer to keep you updated.  (As if you were waiting on pins and needles.)

I am still here.  My blog is still ugly.  

A couple of months of nothingness, then we have everything going on.

Tomorrow, hopefully, happy pictures.

Today, I got nothing.

Except for…

Max our dog lost his manhood today.  Our house now has four males, two eunuchs (cat and dog), and a female.  Me.  If the remainder of the males don’t start paying attention to their aim in the bathroom, they might be next.

I am working on step-daughters graduation quilt.  I have exactly seven days until I NEED to have it to the quilter.  So far, that time table is looking good.

I have been making time to sew every day.  It has been fun.  Unfortunately, my housework has felt neglected.  And it is starting to show.

If tonight is any indication how the next five days of Easter break will be, I’m in trouble.  Three boys are arguing at ear-piercing levels right behind me.  

Gotta go.  Time to drop the hammer as The Deputy says.

of the most horrible stomach flu I have ever had.  (I say that every single time I get it.)  I stayed home with my oldest son who had it yesterday.  Today, The Deputy stayed home with me and oldest son, because he STILL has it.  Fortunately I think he is on the upswing now.  

I knew something was up last night when I was falling asleep in the chair at 8 pm.  That never happens.  At 1 am, it hit.  And boy did it hit hard.  My body is like a bowl of jello.  I feel like a weeble when I walk.  7-Up is my best friend.

I am going to weeble wobble myself back to bed.
