• good morning

  
  

  Its gorgeous outside today.   Which considering yesterday is fairly amazing.  Yesterday was actually sunny most of the day but major wind storm.   Apparently even some twisters were seen in the Seattle area.   Which is unheard of.

  
  

  Oh and we had thunder, and HARD rain after that.  

  
  

  And now its back to being gorgeous.

  
  

  Rainee decided this morning to go hiking without daddy.    We did a head count and realized one was missing.   The kids and I did a search of the house while daddy started running our trails.   In the meantime she heard us hollering and came back to us. 

  
  

  And now I'm shaking.   Oy.   I guess we're gonna have to talk more to the kids about being responsible for each other.    They actually do really well.   And of the five, only Rainee and Kaylin have gone missing each one time.   And each for less then five minutes.  And ironically they both took the same trail.     It must call to them.

  
  

  The problem was daddy said they were going hiking.   And he got side-tracked.   So Rainee went without him. 

  
  

  On Sunday a 3 year old boy almost drowned in a local river.  We have no water.   But we have cougars, and hours of trails.   So I'm thankful.   And trying not to think to hard of all the things that could have gone wrong....

  
  

  I'm 11 weeks along as of yesterday.   Tomorrow's my first mid-wife appointment.   Hopefully I'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat although its a wee-bit early.    I always rest more comfortably when I hear that.

  
  

  Raineebug has decided she hates bugs.  How does a two year old learn fear?  I don't mean spiders (blucky)   I mean infintesimle little bugs, like baby ants, and tater bugs.   BUGGIEE! BUGGIE! BUGGIE!!!  She screams when she sees one.   And waits for some galant hero to rescue her.

  
  

  We don't.    We do come and talk to her and tell her she's bigger then them etc.   So far she's NOT buying it.

  
  

  In many ways its actually very funny.   But one shouldn't laugh at their child when their having an anxiety attack right??? 

  
  

  My basil died.   It doesn't like Washington.   My cilantro is trying very hard to grow.   But I planted it in the place that every kid, dog and cat thinks they need to use as a short cut.   It will be a miracle if it makes it.

  
  

  I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly want to plant some veggies.    But I don't have the dirt prepared.   And am I really gonna want to weed when I'm as round as a house?  Probably not.   *sigh*   Wanted to do it last year too, but that was the beginning of Rainee's sleep apnea, and it was the first thing that went bye-bye on the list of things to do.

  
  

  Maybe someday.

  
  

  Our cat........ EWWWWWWWWWWWW   It brought in a chipmonk this morning,  and a mole.    Thanks.   We hired you for mice not that.   And couldn't you leave them outside like any other self-respecting animal???  PLEASE?  

  
  

  I hesitate to say this, but Ricky our new dog is working out awesome.   He stays home, he loves our kids, he's gentle.   He comes when I call him.   Scccarey.  Oh please let this one work out.   I'm so tired of loosing dogs!!!!

  
  

  Okies must find some breaky and move this day along.
