A Quiver of 17 Arrows – for Now
I thought my quiver was full until I read about this family that just had their 17th child! Wowowee. According to Discovery Health the Duggars’s have changed about 90,000 diapers. Hmmm, I wonder if she uses cloth diapers? You’ve got to see the house that they built debt free. Go here for photos of their commercial kitchen, laundry room that has 4 washers and 4 dryers, the playroom which has an indoor slide, rock climbing wall and other entertainments. Sounds like a built-in vacation spot. After reading about Mr. and Mrs. Duggar, I feel like my family of 6 kids is rather small. But eleven years solid of pregnancy PLUS nursing… (do you hear me whimpering) <smiles>…

I’m practically giddy just having a different avatar. It doesn’t take much to make this old girl happy.

Am I a Packrat? You Be the Judge
Today, with free time on my hands – Seth (16) having gone scouting for antelope again, Zachary (15) and Wesley (12) out on their horses for a mountain man outing and Serenity (9) working on her blog, Beautiful Girlhood (which you really should check out if you haven’t yet), I decided to rearrange some cabinets. I wanted to move all my spices, mixing bowls and the like to a cupboard that is 9" bigger.
