BUT, if I were to try to do Ali's style of words + photos for a Week in the Life segment mine would look something like this for Sunday (so far):
(Note: GAWD! I just don't think I could do this documentation every day!)...
- Alarm first goes off at 4am. Husband's alarm. Husband who does not get up, but lets alarm go off every 7 minutes until 5am. Contemplate stuffing pillow over husband's head..no, no, no, I mean clock! Husband's clock! yeah, that's it!
- I get up... way much earlier than I had planned... 4somthingish. I had hoped to sleep in until 7am, since came home from a 15 hour work day at 10:30pm!
- Clean up kitchen area from babysitter and Jake's previous night festivities.
- Clean up broken lantern glass by woodstove from babysitter and Jake's previous night festivities.
- Contemplate the benefits of a 16 year old boy-child babysitter...
- Let Pumpkin, the cutest kitten in the world, out of the laundry room to play.
- Contemplate the kitten's litter box... wondering why I am always the 'pick up' lady. Decide I need a drink.
- Make Coffee!!!! Gulp.
- Husband wakes.. Disrupts silence with radio. Talk Radio.
- Retreat to computerland. See wazzup for Stamptoberfest, etc.
- 7am: Husband leaves for work (out there, on the ranch), I wake Jake, (Sami is at a slumber party).
- I go to do outdoor kid chores: feed Sami's calf, feed Sami's puppies, catch Sami's mommy dog and put her back in pen, fix hole in pen, feed Sami & Jake's lambs
- I proceed to do my outdoor chores: compost, trash, kitty box
- I hear funky crying noise from sheep field.. Listen....
- Jump on wet quad (it's been raining the last 2 days) in jammies to go rescue Sami's goat - the source of the noise. Thank God no one can see me for miles!
- See Betty, the goat, has her head stuck in a fence. Get goat unstuck. A few tugs on her ears to get those horns turned just right..
- Go back to house area.
- Walk down the lane, check yesterday's mail.
- Go home.
- Look at clock. It's only 8am. Feeling extremely tired, and perhaps sleep deprived.
- Contemplate the benefits of staying up late only to get up early and work.
- Decide I am going to take it slow.........
- Eat 2 plumbs and leftover tuna that I share with Pumpkin.
- Vacume under my desk.
- Decide I am going to have to play in my craft room.
- 11:45 am: Drive to Haines to get Sami from slumber party. Learn she was the only girl that came to the slumber birthday party and I was the only mom that RSVP'd. I feel so sorry for other mom and daughter! I feel they need a bouquet of flowers.. Both of them. The girls had fun... The mom worked too hard...
- Home at 12:15pm.
- All of us make lunch - hamburgers, heart, eggplant, tomatoes w/mayo, carrot sticks, celery sticks, water.
- 1:45. Lunch is over. Kids get sent to take naps - they are both very tired from their previous day's activities!
- Upload the card I made earlier onto 2Peas for 4 challenges!
- Feeling like I got some me time! Finally!
- 2:35 pm. Here I am!
- Now, gotta think about tomorrow.. Going to Boise to make deliveries. Need to make calls, invoices, etc. Plan out the whole day.
- Gotta think about dinner. Laundry. All of It.
- sigh.
And there you have it...

What happened to Sunday being a day of rest. :( I was glad you got to play a little in the challenges today.
I need an Advil after all that! Whew!
Good grief!!

I am so sorry for your loss of Toes. Both you and Arlene are in my thoughts right now - losing a beloved pet can sometimes be more painful than losing a person.
As I told Arlene, I doubt if this will cheer you, but it might prove to be a welcome distraction. Anne Gaal tagged me, so I tagged you. If you come to my blog, you can join in.
(Although I don't know how you're going to squeeze it in - merciful heavens you have a busy schedule!)

Love Nr. 1!
Very funny! You sound super busy!
When I saw Anne tag you, I checked you off my list as I knew you would be busy with home life and with Anne's tag.
I'm glad I participated. It was great being home yesterday to recoup lost sleep and get stable.
Take care! (aka Clarian's Hawk)
