So what have YOU been up to?

Me?

Well, not a whole bunch really. It seems like the day-to-day stuff takes up the majority of my time. You know, work, kids, cooking, cleaning, manual labor, farm work, bringing in the crops, curing the incurable, oh, wait.

So ok, the first two are the majority. Then cooking & cleaning & not so much of that other stuff. Though some days it does seem like the world is on my shoulders and I'm alone in my journey to keep everyone happy.

Then someone comes along, not quite out of the blue, and does something to make things just a little easier. It's nice to know those people are still out there. They are much appreciated.

Some things we've been up to lately:

We've been working on a new book/story/set of stories. C & I have come across a little world that may just have a few stories to share with the world we currently live in. We're not quite sure what this world is called or where it is, but it's interesting and has a few people in it that are bound to be enjoyable.

We've done battle with the dreaded crud and unfortunately that war is still continuing, but we're making headway with the help of Omnicef and some eyedrops.

It seems as if that's all. Not too exciting eh?

New work hours makes for a very tired me

I started working new hours at work last week. I'm almost part of the "working normal" these days. Only thing is that I still work nights on Sundays. Oy! This is going to be a test of my endurance because I sure as heck already want to take a nap and it's not quite 9 yet.

Someone bring me a blankie. Wouldn't be so bad if punkingirl didn't wake me up at O'dark-thirty this morning. Heck I can barely type straight. Blech.

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up to the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh let's go
Fly a kite

Yup, we went kite flying today. Didn't think there was going to be much wind and it would end up being a bust, but we were wrong. A good time was had by all. The kiddos played a game where they were trying to catch the tails when C & I brought the kites down into reaching distance. Spent a good hour playing and teaching them how to work the kites. We saw a couple other people out flying kites, a couple people playing with RC cars, watched the ducks on the pond and finally came home when the sneezles of hayfever started appearing.

Fun was had by all. Not to mention a nice warm lunch of chicken noodle soup when we got home.
