This post has nothing significant in it but thought I should update my page.
So far 2011 has not been remarkable in any oustanding way. Just the standard way, which I am totally grateful for.
Today was a good day. I believe today is the first day since the beginning of the year that we have not had any one in the family ill due to flu or other malady of that sort. Alexander was sick because he stayed out and "partied" too much last night. Other than that we didn't have any puking, gagging, coughing (other than standard allergy stuff), diarrhea, crankiness, fever, rust to the urgent care, flooping, or any other of the myriad of things we have been experiencing the last two weeks. It was really nice. I actually got about an hour nap. My family always knows when I am over the line on tiredness because they take one look and I start tearing up or outright crying. That has been my way lately. But, I am good now and life is happy again.
I love my family very much. I forgot what it is like to be the mother of several young people who can't take care of themselves. Funny how a year ago I would just hop in the shower and think nothing of it. Now, I have to get a babysitter (one of the sibs since Orey and I seem to be on separate schedules and hardly see each other) just to take a shower. They are fewer now adays and totally appreciated when they happen! Just thought I would throw that TMI out there for you :)
WEll, in spite of all of that my 2011 is really off to a good start and I do appreciate the blessings that have come my way.

I get a babysitter for the shower too. It's called Signing Time, or Little Einsteins, or the Letter Factory. Of course, Seth is only one and will sit still for 20 minutes to watch a show. It's either that or he goes in his crib with some books. That works too. I think Gabriel would be a little different though. You can't really put him in the crib or trust he'll sit in front of the TV for 20 minutes.
Whoa! Sorry to hear about all of the sickies! I'm hoping that health is on the up and up from here on out! I feel your pain. Nathan is working 18 hour days in the surgery rooms, so I didn't get to wash my hair for nine days. My showers were just in and out as fast as I could manage to lather my body and rinse! Hahaha
oh the joys of being a mom.....why do they call them joys. haha.
Love you lots momma
