This blog is about our adventures as a large family. We have fourteen kids in our family. Not every one lives at home. Sometimes life is easy and sometimes its weary to the bone hard.

mini corn dogs
Maia was wondering how they get hot dogs so small. I couldnt resist telling her hot dogs come from pigs and little hot dogs must come from baby pigs. she didnt believe me.
home again home again jiggity jig
dr appt yester. impressive. NOT. drove HOURS to see this guy and drove HOURS to get back home again. and meanwhile he is a bit misinformed and spoke to us about amc as if we were idiots. hellooo we have done the research and we live with it every day. yes we know what it is. he didnt say he WOULDNT do anything but rather that he could do it but it probly wouldnt work. 50/50 odds and it will "just recur anyways" We have decided not to do anything at this point. waiting 6 months wont hurt anything. I dont want her spending the entire summer when she could be exploring her world, locked up in the house in casts and external fixaters and immobil. at least for now she IS mobil, it isnt walking but she gets around and plays. sumer will be full of swimming and that will help loosen things up as well as strenghthen other things. I guess we will probly go to shriners philly at some point just to see what the experts think. so we left home at 11 and got home at 530 and 90% of that was on the road

too true tuesday(aka true confessions!)
spilling the beans here.
I know we are all just a little bit crazy. just in different ways.
my little bit of crazy has to do with certain cups that sophie uses. She can really only use the cups with the straws. we have many in various colors. my children tend to try and annoy me(and it works) by mixing the colors. They will give her a cup with a different colored lid. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! DRIVES ME NUTS! orange cup gets the orange lid. green gets green lid. you can not mix green and orange and purple and blue and pink. lids MUST MATCH THE CUP! I have been known to take the cup away and make it right. I just cant explain it. maybe when the colors match I feel like I am giving my precious girl the very best I can give her. I dont know. I just know that the colors must match.
I also cant talk on the phone without my glasses on. I just cant do it.
make sense? probably not but I just cant focus on the phone if I cant focus my eyes.
and I cant stand the sound of brown paper bags ripping. it sends shivers up my spine.
now tell your idiosyncracies. we all have them.

not me monday!!
I have wanted to write not me monday for awhile but never remembered. sooooo
when one child asked why the other child needed medication I did not say it was so I didnt want to wring his neck. nope I didnt.
My husband does not like clothes that have been in the washer over night. I did not quietly put them in the dryer and proudly give him a nice wrinkle free shirt fresh out of the dryer after being in the washer all night. not me.
I did not consider having shriners come and pick us up and drive us to the appointment next week because I hate driving in the cities and always end up lost. noooo not me.
I did not have a diet shake for breakgast and a danish for a midmorning snack. nope. not me.
I did not start making plans for the next adoption after this one. Not me.
I did not sign up for a class that we havent been able to get to even ONE TIME! not me!
I didn't spend the afternoon in bed reading a book yesterday, even if it was a really good book. not me.
I did not just hand back a rubicks cube because it was too taxing on my brain. not me.
nope not me.
