Where Have I Been?

I am sure that my faithful audience has been waiting breathless with anticipation for this post. I have no valid excuse for letting a month go by with no musings. I have just been living "La Vida Loco" here in the suburbs.

I have started homeschooling my oldest for kindergarten and also taken over a children's resale that runs twice each year. Our fall sale just ended October 1, and we have been tying up loose ends. Things should be better now - until the next sale in March that is.

So, what should I share to keep your interest and keep you coming back for more. There is really too much to choose from, so I'll have to just leave you with a sample of my life as of late. I took my oldest to a class at the zoo. During this particular class, they learned the role of a zoo veterinarian and even got to bring home a first aid kit to be used in any animal emergency they might encounter.

As soon as he arrives home, my son pulls out the rubber gloves (in case of bleedings, he informs me) and wrestles the dog to the ground while saying, "Stay calm - everything will be fine." The dog is absolutely thrilled that she gets to be the test subject for my son's latest career ambitions. After a moment, Jenna is released with a bandage on her leg. The gloves are taken off and my son uses an antibacterial wipe to wash off his hands since he has just handled an "animal." The same animal that sometimes sleeps at the foot of his bed.

I now find various stuffed animals around the house with bandaids and the two year old occasionally has on a pair of rubber gloves as well. She is the nurse, I am informed. Of course.
