Moola

 I'm thinking about adding advertisers to my blog.  The pop-ups are super annoying though, so I haven't pulled the trigger.  I thought I might earn an extra twelve to fifteen cents a month if I did that, and I'm trying to save up for a family milk cow.  

Ross says under no circumstances are we getting a family milk cow.  Which I interpreted as under most circumstances.  I'm pretty sure there are a few circumstances that would allow it.  I'm working on discovering those, but first I need some financial backing.  I'm also considering a go-fund-me, a Kickstarter fund, or a cow share.  Those things sound hard though.  

Unlike owning a cow.  

Never mind that I know nothing about owning a cow - I'm listening to podcasts.  I've already picked out my miniature jersey.  We just need to build a shelter.  And some fencing.  A way to get water to her and her baby.  Somewhere to put feed.  Someplace to milk her.  Someway to store and use the milk...

I'm really not sure why Ross is so against this.  

If you'd like to donate, please make checks payable to Bobbi St. Clair...and it would be great if you could just keep it between me and you.  

Cheers!

Sheltering in Place

In the past three months Corona Virus has more or less turned the world on its head.  I feel almost guilty for not being more stressed or put out by the whole thing.  We have been extremely fortunate. What we thought was a most impractical move on our part, wound up being a huge blessing.  With our two boys and our two newborns, we moved out of our house with no yard in the city limits and into my parents' house in the country while waiting for our new house to be completed.  The weekend we moved "quarantine," "social distancing," and "shelter in place" became the new mantra of our state.   Moving in with my parents meant ten plus acres of play space and two extra able bodied adults to help even out the score with the four kids.  Win for the St. Clair's!  Unfortunately, my parents are beginning to realize they may have made an error in judgement.   Yesterday, Sawyer gave their cat swimming lessons.   Last week th...

For the Love of Kids

I love the contrasting sides of our children.  It's one of my favorite things that I didn't know I was going to love.  I think it's fair to say that when we have kids, we all know we will love the squishy babies, hearing kids laugh, seeing holidays through their eyes, and dressing them in the cute little outfits (I'm told boys don't wear outfits , but it's my blog). I didn't know how much I'd love seeing my loud, dirt loving, gun fanatic, wrestling maniac five-year-old turn into the sweetest and most gentle big brother while holding his baby sister.  He sits and quietly tells her stories about his fishing and hunting conquests unaware of anyone else in the room, and my heart absolutely melts. Then we have my slightly crusty, flannel loving, mismatching three-year-old that will choose a princess dress from the costume closet because although he likes sand and rocks and sticks and filth, he also likes and appreciates things that are beautiful. I lov...

Week in the Real World

Exhausted.  Mentally and emotionally drained.  And that's where I'm at, at the end of this week.  I'm almost embarrassed to admit it.  I've been defeated by a six-year-old and a three-year-old.  Plus a couple of babies.   This is Ross' first week back to school full-time after a wonderfully long summer and spring of being mostly at home.  We are grateful he has a job, but we are sad to see him go.  This is the first time since March that I have been running solo with all four kids all day everyday.  I was feeling pretty low by the end of this week, and then I had to give myself a reality check.  We have a friend who has been doing this for a whole year.  No nights off.  No weekends off.  Her husband has been deployed since last fall.  I have it pretty good.   But, lest you think better of me than you should, sit tight, and I'll give you a little glimpse into our week.   We don't do transitions...
