Salmon?
June 23, 2013
Why Salmon as the title of this blog? First of all, salmon is delicious. It's easy to prepare and cooks in minutes. Salmon is PINK how many foods are naturally pink? Ah, salmon.
Okay, that isn't why this is Salmon (though all that is true). No, salmon are fighters. They are struggling to swim against the current to get home, to the finish line. All the while, bears are trying to eat them, people are trying to eat them, but they just keep swimming (as Dory would say).
That is my life right now in a nutshell. I'm struggling to make it through my life to the finish line (whatever that is), and life keeps throwing me challenges just to make sure I don't get bored along the way. I feel like I just have challenges right now, but I'm going to keep swimming.

My household is chaotic to say the least. There is me, my 3 teenage daughters, my 10 yr. old son, my 2 dogs, 1 hamster, and just recently, my sister has joined the fray. We have my van, Emily's car, and my sister's truck that doesn't run right now. I can't drive yet from my knee surgery, my sister Kirsten works at least 30 minutes away, and Emily and Rebecca both work at Lagoon, about 45 minutes away (and their schedules never seem to match).
I live by my calendar. I look at it all day long. It is my life-line, and lets me know where me and everyone else should be. Between all my medical appointments, the girls work, Kirsten's work, and everything else that comes up, figuring out transportation is a major ordeal. Each night, Emily, Kirsten and I work out how everyone will get where they need to go. All I can say is, Kirsten better get her truck fixed before I go back to work this fall, otherwise I may have to have the household resort to hitchhiking.
