Today has been good, mostly. Other than dealing with STUPID insurance! Insurance companies might be the most annoying and useless waste of space in America. Well, it's between that and real estate. Seriously, neither one of them make a lick of sense, and what's worse is that people are just like, yep, that's how it goes, der! I just can't seem to wrap my sane, intelligent mind around it. Oh well, I digress.
I have been making a point to enjoy each one of the kids every single day. Sometimes it is hard to get one on one time with each one of them since there are so many running around. I always felt like it had to be something really cool or time consuming but, then I had an epiphany. It doesn't have to much of anything at all to make them feel special or to enjoy their unique personalities. Sometimes it's just playing a quick card game or board game with them. Sometimes it's just talking to them one on one about things we both enjoy. Or doing a real quick little project with them. Like today, Asher helped me set up the new hamster cage. He really enjoyed it and loved announcing it to his brothers when we took it upstairs.
We are thinking about taking some of them to the Adams County Fair this week. Also, I think Jeremy and I will be headed to my brother's house on the lake at Osage Beach this weekend. They have invited us down for Joyce's 40th birthday. I have been wanting to check out his new house and his new bar and grill called Beavers at the Dam! It should be a ton of fun and take our minds off things.
Today the kids played with the hose and pool and water table. They had a ton of fun and were really well behaved while doing it. I can't believe that August is quickly approaching and the busiest time of year for our family. I don't want to do it. Nope. I don't feel ready and we have so many decisions to make in such a short amount of time, AGH! I don't want to think about it.
