I have been lax in my blog...Chalk it up to too stressed and busy to get everything done in a day!  I am really feeling the stress this semester.  I am not sure if it is because of all the requirements for graduation on top of all the regular stuff with classes and life, but I need to put my big girl panties on and deal with it!
Anyway, my family has been busy with hunting this last week.  My husband and two older boys went hunting last week and only harvested one deer.  My oldest was excited because he is the one who got it, but my other son and husband were not to happy.  So to quench his hunting fever, my husband and my third son left to go hunting again today.  They will be gone until Saturday.  I hope they are successful!  We certainly could use the meat and it would get that elk fever out of my husband.  I have got to admit though, it is fun to go hunting and I have not been able to go for the last several years!  Maybe sometime in the next couple of years I will be able to go!  The nice result of them being gone is that I have less people to boss around and argue with!  And less people to create a mess in the house!  As much as I love having my whole family home, there are benefits to having a few of them gone every now and then!
There is never enough time in the day to get everything done.  I am happy to get at least half of what I intended taken care of.  I think most of us are that way, now if I could only put all my energy into homework and not stress about anything else.  However, living in a house full of males and leaving it up to them would result in a pig sty!  Someday I will have them all trained, but not soon enough!

  1. Thanks for the lovely post. As children grow up and our nest become empty we often remember the pig sty days and wonder how we ever managed. I miss those days now. I never thought I would say that. But know when I go to my daughter's home I have great memories. I reminder her that these times go fast. So enjoy! A clean home is great, But a clean home doesn't always mean its a happy home.

    I respect the woman who raise boys. I had girls and that was hard enough. I can't imagine life with a house full of boy. I bet your boys will all grow up to be wonderful mean who don't live in pig sty's. Thanks again for sharing.

    1. Boys are hard too just in their own way, and I do hope that they will remember all that I have taught them about a clean house. Right now it is hard to imagine!
