About Me

Hi! I'm Amy. I'm a S.A.H.M. of 2 boys, 3 dogs, and a multitude of froglets in my tiny garden pond. We are a homeschooling family (the boys - there's not much hope for those dogs and the frogs do quite well for themselves). I'll getting around to finding a purpose for my blog eventually. Right now it's just a random collection of thoughts and rants about parenting, mostly.

mini catastrophes at our house

Yesterday was not such a great day. It was good in that DH and DS#1 got home from their third overnight camping trip with the cub scouts. No one got lost, and as far as we know, no one got poison ivy, even though the campground is fairly well overgrown with the stuff (and I won't be going back ther because I'm terribly allergic to it).

Unfortunately, at some point yesterday morning (probably before I managed to rouse myself out of the bed) our youngest realized he could open the bathroom door all by himself and got into his brother's Sea Monkey tank. He either dropped it or set it on the floor. It landed right side up, but about half of the water was splashed out of it, and there were dead Sea Monkeys on the counter top and in the tank. There were a few still swimming around in the tank so we filled it back up and fed them. There are about five or six now, down from twelve or more. Needless to say...Colin was Not Happy. Hopefully there are eggs in there that will hatch soon.

The other catastrophe was that while DH was keeping an eye on DS#2 outside, DS#2 (Rhyon) sat down in an ant bed. He has ant bites everywhere. He also was Not Happy (can't blame him).

Today we're back in our routine. Colin has decided to like homeschooling again this week. I think he is even moodier than I am (and I have girl hormones I can blame).
