I seem to be in orbit around the Earth. Somewhere, somehow, I misstepped and have found myself here. Somebody throw me a trail of breadcrumbs, quick.
OH, and somebody please teach me how to say NO!!!

About Me
The List of Characters
The characters and their roles:
"King" a.k.a. hubby - patient, loving, and kind.
#1 (girl) - eighteen - college student; mostly cheery; mostly soft spoken; 'the logical one'; artistic; secretly wishes she were an only child;
#2 (boy) - sixteen - football player, golfer, loves to throw a ball into the air, especially in the living room near the breakables; nothing is ever his fault; has soft, sweet eyes of a baby deer; seeing him hold a baby is the sweetest thing ever.
#3 (girl) - fourteen - sweet and thoughtful pleaser; is very attentive and has incredible insight; Attention: swan emerging; incredible celtic fiddle player who can pick up a tune in a jiffy; life with a older sister has jaded her; has feelings that are as tender as baby lettuce.
#4 (boy) - "now we are 8" - wide open all day, every day, all the time; suffers from a Napoleonic complex; has the ability to surprise you with a refreshingly thoughtful act; eyes turn into crescent shapes when he flashes that smile which is as big as all outdoors.
#5 (girl) - seven - knows her own mind; likes to do it "all by myselth".
"I" - gray-haired bystander and scribe; chief cook and bottle washer; prolific comma splicer; a sucker for a smile from one of the above mentioned; bumbling through this world trying to make saints out of all us sinners.

Oh, I don't know...it seems as if I saw you just last night and your feet seemed to be planted quite firmly on earth. (You looked nice, by the way.)
OK -- I am throwing you a virtual "rope" Hold on and all your blog friends will pull you back to where you belong!
Now say after me,
"Let me get back to you on that. I can't give you a definitive yes right now."
:-)
Hang in there!
you definitely need to say "NO!" to someone besides the kids. i really wished i could have stayed down there longer not only to visit, but to help you out with all the crap you're juggling right now. you almost need an assistant (not to mention a cook, a nanny, a laundress, a maid, ....)
sad thing is that I don't tell the kids no that much either. case in point: Christmas formal
oh, and thank you, Bia for your kind words. I totally enjoyed getting away from these four walls for something fun for a change.
I actually got a shower (whoo hoo) in the 10 minutes I had between her "carriage" ride (aka carpool) and my own leaving the house to come out there to watch them dance.
