Still got the mommy guilts

Peanut sat most of the day. I think he was pouting. :o(

Although I did notice just how determined he is because he was on the couch with me when daddy walked by to do the nightly fresh water routine. Peanut always goes with daddy to do the night time routine so he tried with all his might to get to daddy and he made it to the dining room which was only about 6 feet or so from where we were sitting. But, still, he made it that far having a very short clip! (not my doing!!! Next time, if there is a next time, I will take him to the vet!)

I had a very nice day yesterday. First we lounged around in our PJ's, then we all got ready to take the puppies to visit Santa and have their picture taken. Then we came home and put up our tree and other decorations. Then we ate dinner together and it was time for bed. The best part was that we got our very first snow! It was the perfect kind of snow that just dusted the grass, trees, and the tops of the vehicles. But it didn't stick to the roads! :o) It was beautiful!

Mommy guilt

We just came home from getting Peanut clipped. While the pros outweighed the cons, I feel like the world's worst parront! No amount of pros can make this guilt go away. He is picking at his feet and preening what is left of his wing feathers. :o(

Note to self

Don't hang play area's with string specifically for a hormonal female lovebird who is infatuated with stealing string for nesting materials... LOL! Every few minutes, she sends something crashing to the floor which scares us all!

It wasn't really string, it was hemp rope but she still steals it!

Procrastination and routines

I learned something today. Even though I enjoyed myself last week with no extra kids around, I didn't do a whole lot. When I get up at 5 and am expecting kids to show up, I know that I have a certain amount of time to get things done. So, I don't procrastinate or lose focus.

But, when I have all the time in the world like last week, to get thing done, I put them off and put them off saying things like, "well, there is always tomorrow to get that done." I need a set routine and a deadline.
