So much to do, so little time...

Today is Wednesday. Tomorrow, Dominic and I are traveling with my parents and my aunt. My parents are renting a Dodge Charger and the 5 of us are going to St. Louis for my grandmother's 80th bitrthday party on Saturday.

I have laundry to finish up, breakfast dishes to wash and a house to clean. My mother-in-law will pick up the other 4 kids on Friday after school and keep them until Sunday because dh has a lot to do this weekend for our church.

Our lotsofkids.com blog is up now and ready to read. You can read it at lotsofkidsbloggers.blogspot.com. There is alot to read there. I would like to thank the owners of the lotsofkids.com website for allowing me to participate on their blog. Thanks Michelle and Jim!!!

One final thought before I have to run to take care of laundry. I am so ready for another baby. It just does not seem to be happening for us and it maks me terribly sad. I am really hoping and praying that this is my month.

Names we go by

My name is Danielle. Kids call me mom, mommy, momma. When they call me too often, I insist they call me Queen. There are 5 kidlets. They keep me grounded and in no way keep me feeling young.

Dh is Isaac, aka bux. We have been married for 12 years. He is the love of my life and calls me bees.

My oldest kidlet goes by Pea, Poop. She is our only girl and is 12 years old now. She is our rose amongst our thorns.

Next, we have our 9 yo son. He prefers to go by his name - his given one-but we call him Giordano and when he was a baby, I called him my little guy.

Our second oldest son and our middle child goes by Stock, Puff, Puffy, Stocking Stuffer Puffer when it is Christmas Season. He likes all of them and knows he is in trouble when I call him by his given name.

We follow up our Puff man with Pud. Pud is actually short for Agey pagey puddin pie. I think this is this only nickname he goes by.

Last, but certainly not least is our baby. Our baby is not like most babies. He is 3. I call him Punkin, Pecan and Frankie. I aslo call him baby, sweetie and angel.

With 5 kidlets and 2 parents, our house is full of nicknames.
