At the beginning of 2011, my goal was to update this blog 3 times each month. I truly felt like once per week on most week was doable. However, since it has been about 45 days since my last update (and about 30 before that), I've decided that in 2012, my goal will be one update per month. Maybe I'll overachieve and sneak in two on some months! With that, I decided to make a list of what we've done for the last 45 days since I posted. Some of these will become links in the next few weeks because stories are collecting and need to be written!

Oh, and we went Trick Or Treating too!
Yes, things have been quite busy. Today, I finally have time for an update because I'm at home with a sick kiddo. Yep, Taylor said her stomach hurt this morning. We went to school and she said she was good but tired. By 8:20 her teacher called me. She had vomited in her classroom. While she was waiting at the high school for me to get things together to leave, she was sick again in the hall at the high school. So, we called Chad on the way home to tell him we were headed home for rest and rehab. He kindly suggested that we go to Wal-mart and get the groceries on the list. Yes, he is a typical man!
I guess raising a passel of girls is similar to raising a herd of boys, only different. :) Gosh I sort of remember those days when you didn't know if you were coming and going (and I wasn't trying to keep a blog at the same time. OR a job--well, a real job, I did teach aerobics part time, and then went back to school, and then there was that part time job at the PT clinic and the part time job at the vet's and some volunteer stuff and then, well, never mind!)
ReplyDeleteSheesh, your girls are funny! :) And they're growing up SO FAST! It really does seem like just a year or two ago you were in Jordan's class in high school. I mean that. And here you are with 3 kids. My my my. I really love reading about them tho. I hope you can keep up with at least once a month this coming year. :) Oh and thanks for stopping by my blog, and I hope you try the ornaments, they are really easy (but messy!) and I think the girls would LOVE making them. Get your Mom to help!
