I feel like I should say something.
But, life has been so busy, I hardly know what to say.
Sometimes I've got to just say something to start it off,
And then I know what to say! :-)

There....Did I say something yet?

Well, I had finally posted about Darling's potty training, and she wet the bed two nights in a row!! First hers, then mine! Lots of laundry. I worried about it and slept light the next several nights. I've been relaxing again, and last night I got another wet bed. I think I better get something for under the sheets, for the just in case nights. This is just too much work. I can hardly keep up with the regular laundry.

Our totally awesome swimming pool got a hole. Somewhere in the top layer, and a small one in the second layer of air. It goes out kinda slow, but we've got to be watchful to keep it full. We just let it go while we were up North, so today we'll get it going again.

My dear mother had a bike accident. A pit of sand alongside the road caught her tire and sent her flying. She didn't break a bone, but the bridge of her nose swelled up tight, and her knee was injured. They figure a blood vessel probably broke in there, which is why it swelled up so much, and it will take a long time to go down. It's been 3 weeks, and her face still has two small bruises. She can hardly use her knee. It will probably take at least another month before that knee can work again. Her bruises are HUGE! I wish I had a picture of the kids' faces when she showed it to them. I feel so much for her, as it is summer, and she was so enjoying getting out biking.

Last night, Dh and six kids went to a pot luck and archery night with our church group. They had a blast. Dot used what she learned from a documentary about Susan in Narnia, when she was shooting, to help her shoot better. Stuff like holding her elbow up, etc. She said it really worked!

Then they headed over to our church for a karaoke night. I heard just a smattering of stories, which I can hardly remember this morning, when they came home last night at midnight. They were happy and loud, which says they had a great time! Darling and I stayed home to do laundry, etc. She took about an hour nap, and then was happy as all get out. It was good to spend some time with her reading, doing puzzles, cooking (we made tapioca pudding), a bath, watching her jump on the mini-tramp, and cuddling. She can get very chatty! She kept up a steady stream of conversation with me. :-)

Wow it looks like your brimming summer schedule just got busier! EEP! I'll be praying for you mom. That has got to be so painful. She doesn't strike me as the kind of person who likes to take time to recuperate either. :)
