Sleeping

One of my most favorite things in the world is to sleep in. As a mom, now often does that happen? Kids and hubby need lunches during the week, and weekends are often filled with chores that need to be done and not enough hours to do them! So today was one of those rare days. Kids and hubby left at 6 am - yes AM - to go fishing. I snuggled in after they left and drifted back to a warm comfy sleep.......to be awoken by howling. Not a few barks to let me know that someone had walked by the house or started their car, but consistent, persistent howling! Our two canine children decided it was a good time to practice for the local howl-in. About the time I was reaching for anything that could resemble a weapon they stopped. And the kids and hubby rolled in. Sigh.....maybe next time!

My First Entry!

I'm not sure how successful I will be at blogging, but I have been lurking reading many blogs recently and decided to join the fun. I like to read about others lives - makes mine seem simple! I am in the midst of changing jobs, my 15 year old is learning to drive, and my 12 year old is in the throes of baseball season. We are kept busy with all that, plus our 4 cats and 2 dogs. Oh my - I don't know how I ended up with SO many animals! I've done this secret study....I've noticed that when my friends get done having children they continue building their families with "animal" children! Seems to have happened to me. Maybe I was supposed to have 8 children???
