The Wilson 6 Chronicles

So it has a been a while since my last post. Justin has been gone a lot in the past month (as in gone for weeks on end) but he managed to make it home for most of the week before Mothers' (Mother's, Mothers- which is it?) Day. As luck would have it, it rained for most of the week so we didn't get to get out and do very much although we did go to Hatcher Gardens one day. I've been busy with herding the kids as well getting the yard ready for spring/summer and going on a painting kick in the house. In the week leading up to Justin coming home, I managed to cut the grass, put down pine needles, plant some new flowers, get the garden cleaned out and plant a few more plants, paint the bedroom and clean the house- all of this one top of the daily laundry, preparing at least 2 (most days 3) meals a day, changing diapers, taking Eleanor to the dentist, shuffling to Alden's ragball practices and games, picking up Zachary from school, grocery shopping, and preventing 4 kids from injuring themselves. Of course, now that we have had enough rain to necessitate to building of an ark, I get to start all over with the yard stuff. So take that to people who think that stay at home moms have an easy job and just sit around and watch the soap operas. So my poor camera has become very neglected with the exception of an occasional ragball game where I basically just shoot on auto lately (something I loathe to do) because I haven't had the time keep progressing in learning how to use the camera properly and I hate to miss cute shots of Alden while playing because I was too busy toying with controls that I don't even know how to use anyway. But I am resolving to d better with picture taking and posting here.
