REALITY

It has been raining for the past 3 days. I have been homeschooling and trying to act 'normal'. Of course, I have to find the new normal now that Arveragus has joined us. A small baby takes a lot of work! He nurses a LOT. It's hard to get up and fly around tidying the house, baking bread, washing dishes, etc with a little nursey boy hanging on all the time. On top of that, the rain has kept the little boys inside. Their antics have made me wonder how I ever survived the winter with them inside most of the time! I reached my limit today and was heard saying things like "GO OUTSIDE! You're not allergic to rain! Boots, Coats, OUT!"

Then a servant of GOD appeared. Her name is Sondra, and at noon she stopped by and offered not only to take the boys, but also to feed my family dinner at her house before our joint T-ball practice and church run. (Happy feast of the Ascension! 40 Days after Easter!)

I have educated my girls, tidied my bedroom, and baked the bread in relative peace. . .with little nursey guy hanging on for the ride. I've also looked for the LOST KITTEN. Yup--only four are there right now. VERY MYSTERIOUS. I hope we won't find a sad kitten body. I really hope it won't smell. Everyone else is healthy and happy and Mommy-cat is not upset or anything--can't figure it out! I'm hoping getting endless toys out from under Thalia's bed will reveal happy kitten. . .or not!
