Things are crazy!

I love a quiet life. OK, as quiet as you can be with 5 children. I don't make phone calls unless I absolutely have to. I don't get many phone calls and I'm good with that. I don't like a whole lot of extra people in my home, unless they are friends who come to chat. I prefer quiet days in the solitude of my home. BUT, with this move, I'm getting countless phone calls a day. I'm setting up all sorts of appointments for people to come to my home and I'm not liking it much.

Today, we had a handyman guy come to evaluate a few repair jobs that we would like to have done, the movers came to evaluate our household goods, and several phone calls about and to Realtors. Tomorrow the bug guy comes and two Realtors in the afternoon. My house is a mess and I have all these people over to see my house! I'll be glad when this is all over and we are settled in a new home. Then, I can get back to my quiet, kid-filled life.

My niece has just joined a Daisy Scout Troop. I'm happy for her, I love the Girl Scouts. She called me today to sell me cookies. Can I just tell you how happy I am to support my niece in Scouting? Yes, I'll buy some cookies to support her. I guess I can sacrifice for her. Yeah! It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!!!!

Back to the bunk bed, after we rescued the one son from underneath it, hubby put his shoes on and at 9:30 at night, he was hauling pieces out onto the street. Thank goodness today was trash pick up day. It worked out nicely in the end.

Peanut is crawling now. She is quite slow, but very mobile. She has gotten under foot more than once. Our computer room is about 3 inches lower than the rest of the house, so there is a funny little step to the computer room. Peanut is learning to get up and down that step. She was so pleased with herself today when she finally made it up the step. I'm amazed at her determination to move.

Well, I guess that's all for now. It is late, Peanut is sleeping in my arms and I'm going to head to bed.
