I was here all along...

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted. My laptop and I got into a fight. Yeah, you heard me. My laptop starting talking smack and I had to lay down the law. Then it called me mean, and I called it fat and it just escalated from there. Look...I don't take crap from NO electronic, I don't care how much internet surfing it helps me to do. Ok, there really wasn't a fight, but wouldn't it have been cool if there was? It sounds like a youtube video waiting to happen doesn't it?

Ok so actually the reason for my absence is due to lots of food, folks, and fun. Lee and Maria came into town on the 23rd of April for Jared and Spencer's graduation. Maria ended up getting sick and so they stayed through the week with us. They were already planning on flying out the next weekend for baby Edward's baby blessing. We had a fun week though, although Maria was laid up in bed. Joseph and Roseanne and clan came that Thurs for the blessing as well and we had a full house. And for whatever reason, I did not take one picture. What is wrong with me? I can't believe it, I dropped the ball on that one.

After everyone left, I got a call from my friend Charise. I used to work with her husband Chad at UVSC and she cuts my hair. Anyhoo, we had discussed me watching their little boy Mac. So I started babysitting full time for them. He is the cutest little boy! I'll make sure I take a picture. He and the kids play really well.

And then last Saturday my cousin Greg got married. We had a good time and it was fun catching up with everyone. We don't get to see that side of the family very often.

That night we hung out with our friends Natalie and Cory. They have a daughter named Madeline and the Maddi's had crazy fun together. Unfortunately Andrew wasn't feeling well and was a little angry guy the whole time.

Well that brings us to today. We are all sicker than the sickest thing ever. You heard me. We're all so stinkin' sick it's disgusting. Jesse stayed home from work today and we're all laying around half asleep eating crackers because that's all we have to sustain us. It's ok, Jess is going to the store tonight if he can make it there without crashing the car. Just kidding.......sort of.....

I really do feel bad about not taking pictures. So here is a picture of us in better times.... Otherwise known as our Christmas card picture.
And just so you all know, the kids did not look at the camera in any of the million of pictures we took, so Jesse moved their eyes. Creepy, isn't it? Not to me, I think it's cool.

Ok I'm signing off. I'm going to get in my pjs and watch Sense and Sensibility with a box of tissues. Not the Emma Thompson one, the new one that was on tv. Although the Emma Thompson one IS delightful. And the tissues are for my nose. TMI, I know.... but this is my blog! If I want to talk about my stubby nose, I'm going to do it! Look, I'm just keeping it real ;)

Get well soon, and I am jealous that you got to see Nats.

I'm sorry you're feeling sick. Do you want one of us to go to the store for you? Seriously, call us if you need us to.

I'm excited for you to watch your movie. Both versions of Sense and Sensibility are excellent. I just sent my mom the old Emma Thompson one for Mother's day. No real reason--it's just fun to watch.

Sorry to hear that you are all so sick!! I hope you feel better. By the way, did you mean "stuffy" instead of stubby? Or was that "stubby" because you're saying it with a plugged up nose accent? :)

I feel your pain... On the up-side, cute family pic! I'd never have noticed about the eyes if you didn't mention it. And blog all you want about your nose. A mom's life is all about snot, poop, spit, and vomit. Ah, the finer things of life.
