March 21st 2008
Inspired by my friend Jenny, I decided I should really keep a running blog on the Happenings of the Johnstone family. We are 8 deep... mom, dad, 4 girls & 2 boys... and seem to always have a million things going on. Its easy to get caught up in the daily chaos & forget that everyone else has their own daily chaos that they deal with. My favorite comment, when people find out how big our family is, is "how do you do it?" Its the same as everyone else, just magnified. Our 6 children are 9 down to 14 months & we couldn't be more happier! We have been married for 10 and half years & up until 4 days ago I had been pregnant, nursing or both the ENTIRE time!
My husband is the loyal breadwinner of the family which enables me to stay home & give the kids all the attention they need. Unlike bigger families we do NOT homeschool our kids, they enjoy school & all it has to offer. They are also active in the community. Our 6 year old son just finished being in Fiddler on the Roof & our 8 year old daughter is going to be in a production of Sound of Music. Before that the 3 oldest were in a production of Oliver. They also play soccer on recreational teams.
Today is snowing like crazy & doesn't feel like Spring at all! I am sitting here with a 102.4 temperature debating whether or not to call the clinic & get some good medication. Easter is in 2 days & the house needs to be cleaned & organized for the extended family to come over. Our 2 youngest kids just got over pink eye. Tonight the kids were looking forward to spending the night at Grandma & Grandpa's, but we'll have to confer with the weather & see where that leads us.
