@Totalanimefan: OH I didn't realize. Well thank you for adding me into the raffle. <3

I need to hang out in here then. <3
@Wildfire: Also, I love hearing your descriptions of your youngest. C: He sounds like he's turned into a Man and he'll be an ambitious cowboy. :p
Hopefully he won't work himself too hard. :d If he does, I'll just have to... I don't know, Get him and bring him to thermopolis, WY for a spa day. lmao.
I had a bit of chocolate milk today. lol. XD


@Wildfire: I definitely pay super close attention to my daughter's friends. My son has good.. instincts? Last year, we had a falling out with a neighbor kid. My son didn't like him and my daughter insisted he came over. Same age as my kids. She likes any kid who gives her attention and remembers her name.
The kid tattled on my daughter to me, and then said some mean stuff behind her back to my son. Of course, both my son and I tell my daughter about this kid. Anyway, I used that as a learning point of what to look for when you think someone is your friend.
She was bringing home gossip earlier this year and I explained all that to her too. Rumors and such happen a lot in school.
I'm pretty sure I can find a way to use every circumstance as a learning session for my daughter. XDD lol

I'm totally out of it today. Not enough sleep. :T

It's a whole 25*F outside today. I could walk my dogs with just jeans and a sweater. *o*
O000oooh! Tomorrow is supposed to be 37. -puts my bikini out to do some tanning-
Congrats on 1000 pages! *o*
@Wildfire: I'd travel there without complaint. well, I might whine a little, but It would be worth the trip. I think he'll send you that 'everything is fine' text at some point soon. <3 Just gotta let that dust settle with all the changes.
It dawned on me last night that he'll likely be the one going out to the watering holes and breaking the ice so the ranch animals have water. XD Makes me giggle a little that he's dealing with such an opposite weather than what he's used to.

I really hope my kids remain close too. It's hard to say, my daughter has these pre-teen moments of independence where her brother is 'uncool'.

as far as my baby being sick, every kid at this daycare shares germs. Drives me nuts, but there's nothing I can do. I've tried. One kid holds a toy, licks it, drops it, another kid grabs it. OR I'll hand them their own water bottles and I'll turn my back for 5 seconds to do something and the water bottle is in someone else's mouth. OTL so, they all have runny noses. a couple kids have a cough. That second week I took over, all of them got hit with the flu. o.e
My mom likes saying "this is easiest job she's ever done." and that I'm good at it and should keep doing childcare and I'm like "no. nuh-uh." I might be good with kids, but I don't enjoy it.

You totally deserve a lazy day. <3 Watch some tv, make a crock pot meal, just become a couch potato for a bit.

your latest art looks amazing! <3
I love that in your hiatus from Voltra, you kept drawing. :3
@Wildfire: sounds like my own kids. :d Right now, my older two are like yin and yang. Opposite but exist perfectly together. I'm sure that'll change once puberty really kicks in. -tear-
I hope you hear from him soon.
If you don't hear from him in a while, I guess you could make me drive down there and I can slap some sense into him. -thumbs up- OTL that would be a driveeeee.. but I'd do it.

My baby is now sick with a cough. So, he slept on my chest last night and coughed in my face and would gag and I'd quickly wake up, cover my face just in case of ... bleh. anyway. uhg.
My husband is back at work. He worked a full day yesterday, [he's not used to laborious jobs anymore], he slept through his alarm this morning. XDD

Today is my packed daycare day, I'm going to recruit my mom to help. She can't move much, but it's better having her around with 6 or 7 kids.
well then, we need to make today a chocolate milk day. XD <3

@CooperationIsKey: lol

@Purpsy: lol


after I caffeinate though. I didn't get much sleep. cx
@Wildfire: You did an amazing job [and still doing an amazing job] at raising your son. He feels confident and individual enough to do something so far away from home. <3
How's your other son doing with all this? I forgot to ask before. o;o' I imagine they're close?

The scenery is only going to get whiter. CX I lived in Denver for a year, they get snow for a day or two and it melts pretty quickly. That place has really bipolar weather. o.0

//off topic, but I FINALLy got my avi looking western gunslinger chic and I'm just.. very proud of it. XDD
@Wildfire: omg, you definitely express yourself through your avatar.lol!
oh my gosh, -hugs- I'm totally invested and feeling this journey with you! T^T
I'm glad he missed that cold front though. That would have been a shock. 80*f to -15*f CX
Keep me updated. <3

I jinxed it earlier, right when I got all of them down, I posted that and the eldest toddler woke up crying and stayed awake. Which is unusual.
I prefer a 6 kid group, paired off and in relatively good moods over small fussy groups.
4 fussy kids is hard because one is mine and they all want one on one attention.
@Purpsy: frozen... chocolate milk... hmmmm.... mmm... I dunno how I feel about that.
My imagination is saying it'd taste like a Wendy's chocolate frosty- however, realistically.. no.
XD

@Wildfire: I wish I could give you a hug irl. -virtual hug-


I only have 4 kids at my mom's daycare rn and all of them are fussy. All are down for naps now except for my baby.
My baby finally slept last night, he only got up twice which is record best in the last few weeks. So he's taking short cat naps today since he actually slept for most of the night. Cx

When I decided to have one more child... I totally forgot about the first two years with teething and no sleep. o_e /flails/
@Wildfire: no doubt. o;o I think.. maybe, if they're desperate for help and willing to work with him- good chance he'll be working quite a lot. <.< we'll see. :d
make sure you save my number too. ;p I want to make sure if there's an emergency or something I can be reached easily. -thumbs up-

@Purpsy: I've never froze milk before and now I'm sitting here wondering if and how people do that. o.o'
I actually love chocolate milk. lol. XD
@Wildfire: <3 Have fun spending time with your boy. <3
lol, once he's out of the house, he'll continue hearing your voice in his head. XD I'm just envisioning that part of Emporor's new groove with Kronk's good and evil shoulder self. XD
You on one side like "Wear extra socks! it's cold out!" and his young-man decision making on the other like "it can't be that cold.."
Hopefully at some point while he's out this way, I'll hear from him or take him out to coffee- although that's quite the drive from my hole in the mountain. XD


@Purpsy: lol! you were like "don't mind me, just watering the grass with.. milk. it's healthy for it."
I hated milk too! /still do.
