Friends, I Have Missed You

So, yes, I have been MIA for quite some time.

Yes, I have been the world's worst blogger.

Yes, I have many, many reasons...that you may find entertaining.

Reason one? Leo has deployed. Again. He left before Thanksgiving. During all of my morning sickness. During the time that families are supposed to come together and dwell on the many thanks in their lives. I have been a busy, busy woman as you can surely imagine.

Reason two? I am sure my house has been hit with the plague. Not just one plague, but more like every plague that has crossed into Mississippi, my girls have caught. I have caught 3 out of 4 of the bugs. It's been stressful, filled with ER visits, and lots of defeated tears from me.

Reason three? This baby? In my belly? Holy tiredness. If I am not sleeping, I am dreaming of sleeping. Or wishing I was sleeping. Or counting the hours until sleep. You get the picture...

Speaking of baby--guess who finds out the sex on January 14th? This girl! So excited. Over the moon. Thinking this may be a boy (finally), but also am totally okay with another, our fourth, girl. Very excited!

So, in a nutshell, I have been pretty busy. I am trying to come up with a little blog time for myself. I miss it. I miss my friends in the blog world. I miss streaming my thoughts onto the screen.

And who know? Perhaps I may get a wild hair and start to read blogs again...xoxo

Dear Cold...

Dear Cold,

I felt you coming on to me the other nite.  I was up late and felt it.  You know, the pain in my throat--which also was my first symptom of The Swine....

I woke up yesterday and you must have decided that you would stay awhile.  The tingly nose, the sneezing, the box of Kleenex that has been used, the coughing, sore throat, stuffed up nose, and what feels like the worst ear pain ever has taken over my existence.

And Cold?  That's fine if you want me to be your place of residence.  But visiting poor Madelyn?  She's a baby...how about you leave her alone soon, okay?  And while you're at it skip over Isabella and especially Leo....

Lord knows the last thing this house needs is the presence of the well known Man Cold. 

That's all now.  Please let me sleep tonite....oh--and food?  I want to taste that again, too.


Thanks {for nothing....},
One miserable Mommy

Three Little Words.

Swine.

Flu.

Sucks.

At least I have my laptop.

And a tv.

And a comfy bed.

And a husband off to take care of the house for me.

Here's a link of all things swine.

I know it's called H1N1--I just like saying swine flu...and to let y'all

know...I totally just typed wine flu on accident--ha!
