in case anybody's wondering where i've been

i haven't had much time or opportunity lately... when i am somewhere with internet connection, i'm too busy feeding, cleaning or otherwise entertaining children, and whenever i do have a minute to relax or blog... i don't have internet connection...

i've been feeling rather at the end of myself lately, but my beautiful family, and the wonderful weather have kept that last thread i'm hanging onto just strong enough...

of course today is a little not so sunny, but i am so in love with my husband and daughters i don't mind as much as i normally would...

it's all the other millions of little things that suddenly derail me over and over again throughout the day...

Chloe' spitting up on my last clean outfit just as we'refinally out the door
Coming out of the store to find a $40 parking ticket on our car
Catching Adora eating the dog food we gave her to feed p\Pepe' (Desta's dog) to keep her from feeding him her food
Getting the message that one of the ladies from our church in sacramento left a meal for us outside our door last night cause we weren't home but had already set up a meal for that day...
they hoped we got it...
we were in san francisco...
have been for a week now...
I came with 2 changes of clothes for everyone besides what we were wearing, thinking we were only here for the one night,,, that was last tuesday...

I can't wait to be home again... but then we're planning to leave for Oregon soon...

But on the up and up we got to see some dear friends of ours down in Santa Cruz last night. On a whim we decided to go to the beach...

The ocean has always been a big source of revival for me and I'm so glad we went, and I'm so glad to have seen them as well...

and there's no better house that I can think of to be a guest in than where we are...

I'm blessed...

and I know it, but i still feel on the verge of totally falling apart at just about every other moment...

And, speaking of children, mine are both up again, and one is poopy and the other hungry and bored... and not so happy about it either...
go figure...

sounds like you could use a retreat in your own lovely redwood cabin on the ocean, where the sun is out and the air is a warm 70-75 degrees. Take a stroll through the redwoods, view our gentle friendly animals. We have the deer family, the turkey family, the sheep family, and the herd of kittys.
