Janae looking for the magnet that Jag swallowed! After calling Dr. Dave and Nurse Jacqui, we decided to patiently await the outcome.................................Bingo after three days! Normal?
Jag preferring to sleep with the dogs in the doggie bed. Normal?
Four dogs in my house for Christmas besides all the people............................Normal?
Sisterly affection from Jaimie Ralphs Jardines point of view................Normal?
Four dogs and four children, shopping carts, strollers and poopie bags..................Normal? 
Eating nothing but chocolate at an early and young and middle and old age. Yes, Normal!
We inadvertently found a package of cigarettes that must have fallen out of Uncle Gary's pocket lost in the cushions of the divan! I swear! Of course, the girls couldn't resist making the most of a spontaneous situation. Aren't we a class act, normal..........................yes!
Tio feeding Brogan messy, sloppy, orange, running food.......................Normal........................NOOOOOO!
Well, I have finally finished cleaning my house after the chaos of the holidays, I don't think those two words go together, but I have no other description. It has been a full week and just yesterday I found the home phone in Richard's closet hidden on a shelf. I have mopped floors, cleaned bathrooms. done laundry, moved furniture, tried to clean the carpets, and ended up going through drawers and throwing, throwing, throwing things away. ( I can only do this when Richard is gone because he still has clothes from his mission he is sure he will need someday!) So, I finally feel like all is back to normal?
Jacqui flew in last night and I love having her here. Dave is in town also and so they are looking for his wedding ring, registering, trying to figure out where to have this shindig, finding a photographer............in other words all of the things that have caused my sagging skin and dementia! How do people with more than four children survive? But, I wouldn't trade a one. So I am going to enjoy her company for a few days and then I will be on my way to Idaho to help Richard with the tax business (albatrose, stone around our necks, weight, mental anguish, emotional trauma just to name a few :) Sooooooooo, that brings me back to the heading of this blog. What is Normal? I don't know!
