I’ve been slacking. I know this. But honestly, I’m trying to keep up with life in general and I’m working on very little sleep. This isn’t an unusual state for me, but it’s the reason I haven’t been keeping up with this blog.
I’ve been reading the news lately, cringing at the insane things our leaders [...]

It’s been a while, mostly due to life intruding

A friend at work commented that it seems like he can never get everything done. I completely understand. And worse yet? He has teenagers.
I thought it would get easier (at least from the “time” standpoint) as they got older.
Here’s the list of things I can’t see to get done:
1. Working out.
2. Unpacking everything into the [...]
counting blessings

I’m typing one-handed as I’m feeding the baby while I write… I guess this is an absolute “mum” moment.
Ok. Done now. Good thing too. Hard to type one-handed… really hard.
I’ve been thinking about this since yesterday – maybe even longer than that. Here’s the story: My oldest LOVES vegetables. [...]
Back to work in about an hour

So Gramma is down with it now. We got the call last night. I was going to head to work today, but instead I’m home with the kids. It’s good. I think I needed some more time home anyway. Poor Gramma. Actually both grammas have it now.
We’re just counting down until the granpa gets it [...]
Now I’m sick

Just a quick update. I’m in hell. I guess I didn’t have it on Saturday. My skin hurts. And there is a guy in the back yard working on reroofing our carport so he’s making noise. That hurts too.
ugh.
Sick family

This will be brief as I’m fairly tired. Some kind of nasty virus is working it’s way through my family. I had severe nausea, headache and fatigue… the baby had diarrhea and vomiting… Bren and Todd have had severe vomiting, headaches and temps.
Misery. If you live in the Boise area, be warned – it is [...]
And off we go!

Todd is taking over the family nutrition. We’re going on the detox diet – organic, vegetarian, healthy. We’re tired and we’re tired of feeling sick. All the junk food, all the heavily processed foods… we’re cleansing it out of our systems.
I’m just glad he’s taking over. I’ve got enough going on trying to clean up [...]
Two down…

Bren just lost his second tooth, bottom front. He lost his first baby tooth on January 30th and now here his second is gone on February 6th. Poor guy was traumatized by this second one – partial loss and blood, but now it’s gone. I guess the tooth fairy better step up tonight.
We’re ready to [...]
Hmm, it’ll be a relief to go back to work!

This may or may not turn into a rant, so here goes…
I’ve been busting my ass all weekend. I completed our taxes, finished both our FAFSA’s, unpacked more boxes and bins (and have no idea how many it’s been). I’ve been doing laundry, dishes and taking care of kids. Yes, I’ll be glad to go [...]
Well here it is, Friday

I suppose first I need to say this: I slept last night. I got almost 8 hours and I feel much better today. I’m hoping that because of this, my thought processes will be much better. The baby and I were up at 5:15 this morning. We enjoyed some cuddles and his early morning bottle, [...]
