Good day

I spent the morning hours in an exceptionally good mood. Well, after the initial, "Get your little butts back in your bedroom & quit screaming!! I'm going back to bed & if I hear one more scream from this bedroom, you're toast, Mister!"

I thoroughly cleaned out the budgies cage and made big plans for the rest of our abode...but didn't really get far. Husband took the three oldest FarmHands to the park to ride their bikes (no concrete in the country & gravel isn't great for learning). Bitsy played play-dough while I cleaned up the kids' rooms. I also managed to make lunch & vacuum today. Yeah for me.

My knee is still a bit red & swollen, but I can move it & put weight on it without pain. Kneeling is still out & deep bends are not advisable, but it's getting better.

Uncle Gick called around 3 to see if we could come swimming with Katie. I was so thankful for the distraction. I loaded everyone up & they spent 3 hours splashing, screaming, swimming and laughing. Katie is heading to her grandma's on Saturday, so we said our good-byes. Then Katie informed us that she's coming to spend an entire month next summer. Unkie Di said, "Oh really? We'll have to see about that!" :)

Now the FarmHands are tucked in & I'm about to hit the hay, but there are small voices coming from the girls' room. I should probably go break up the party....in a minute.
