I Am Tired Of Being Sick And Tired

I haven't written in a long time because I have had the battle of the kidney stone. I have been in and out of the emergency room and even stayed two nights in the hospital. Still the stone sits there. They won't take it out until Thursday because I had a bad infection. I am also trying to get seven kids ready to go to school. Plus I am standing up in a wedding on Saturday. Oops, I just remembered I have to pick up my shoes from Payless. Just add it to my list of a million things to do.
So I should be in bed right now but I am wound up from doing laundry for the last four hours. We have enough towels and clothes now to last us a few days.
I don't want to spend all of my time running around the next few days. I want to be able to enjoy the kids too. I miss them so much when they are in school. I have often thought about homeschooling. Joe, the little guy in the picture is starting kindergarten. I am going to miss him so much. His sister Amelia who is also in this picture is only two and will be my oldest at home. A two year old and an almost five month old. It is like starting over again!! For years I have had one at home who could pour their own milk and help out. This year will be different.
Maybe I will homeschool one day. I keep praying for guidance on this and who knows what God has planned for me.
Hey, I am pretty impressed with myself anyway, I figured out how to put a picture on my blog! Now if I could just figure out how to put links to my favorite blogs I would really be impressed with me!! Or even be really fancy and have music like my little green friend! Who knows what could happen. My blog could be a multimedia event that millions would read everyday for enlightening messages and ..... oh, sorry, I got carried away. I think I took in too many laundry detergent fumes. I better get some rest! I think I need it.

Am I too old to learn how to do this stuff?

I think I am slowly getting the hang of all of this blogging stuff. Next I want to learn how to make it look more interesting. It took me all day to figure out how to post again! I am 44 years old and probably too old to learn this stuff. Well, not really. It just takes time which is hard to do when you have nine kids.
Although my teen-age daughter does come in handy. She has taught me a few things on the computer. Plus I try to play around and see if I can figure it out myself. The only problem with that is I am always afraid I am going to do something wrong and totally mess up our computer. And let me tell you, when it comes to the hubby, hell hath no fury than a man whose computer has been messed with!
Of course I could always blame it on the kids. It's worked before!!!
Anyway, I am happy to be doing this. Once I really get into it I think I will write a lot more.
One thing I have learned is that there are a lot of interesting people all over the country. And some pretty strange ones too. I probably ticked off one of these earth loving, veggie eating people by what I wrote in her blog. I wrote " I love animals. They're delicious!"
I saw that bumper sticker once and laughed myself silly. Some of these people are just too danged serious about this stuff!
If I keep writing I will probably tick off a few more, but oh well, if you don't like it, don't read it. Right?

My First Attempt at the World of Blogging

This is a whole new thing for me but I think I am going to like it! I have always loved to write down my thoughts and with nine kids that has not been easy to do! I have to wait in line to use my own computer.
But lately my hubby has been grounding the children so that he and I can use it more often. Plus when they get on this thing they usually mess it up somehow and then it takes that same wonderful hubby hours to figure out what they have done to it. Like the time my almost sixteen year old daughter got us the trojan horse virus by clicking on a link that said "This is cool, click here". She thought that while she was instant messaging her friends one of them sent that to her and she clicked on it. This is my honor student! Scary, isn't it?
I am attempting this while the kids are still awake. So I think I will try to write more at night when I don't have anyone breathing over my shoulder to use the computer. The eleven year old is going through withdrawal!
