Pathetic

How much do I suck at posting lately?! Is anyone still checking back? So sorry! I guess half of my excuse is I get online and get sucked in to Facebook. It is great chatting with people, and Mike and I are both addicted to the games on there. Sad, but true. And I am not even posting any pictures with this one, in a desperate attempt to just get a friekin' blog posted! Hmm, life lately has been interesting. Mike is finally done with his training travels--YEAH!! He is ready to dive in feet first, just waiting on the guy who has previously been over this area to come down and turn stuff over to him. Last Friday I took Bailey up to see her Cardiologist, because she has been complaining of her heart hurting, and sleeping a ton. Both of those things probably would not worry me too much, if her doctor hadn't given us the news at her last appointment that her heart is getting worse. After 3 1/2 hours up there, he said nothing has changed that he can see. She still has all of the issues we found out about at the last appointment, and will need her valve replaced at some point, but he wants to wait as long as possible to put her through that. (As do we!) We are supposed to be getting a heart monitor tomorrow, that will keep track of her heart rythms, etc. and hopefully show if anything is up that way. Sure will be interesting trying to keep THAT on her! My daughter is nothing if not stubborn. I had said to a few people that we have been lucky so far this winter and only been sick once--why did I ever say that out loud?! Bailey was sick Friday, Sat & Sunday--now Kyle is miserable. I am hoping Tyler already had it last week--he complained about a sore throat but not too much. And if Mike and I are lucky we can avoid it! I hate being sick--no one takes care of me, and I still have to be a mom. No time for that. Ok well, now I don't feel like such a slacker. Hope all is well! Maybe if people actually showed me some comment love, I'd be more inclined to post!!! ;P

I am glad Mike is home for a while, I know how hard it can be. Mike is gone 1-2 times a month for work and it gets really hard in the evening time for me. Good luck with the kids, we had strep 2 weeks ago and it was no fun having sick kids, being sick and having a husband gone.

You are a freakin slacker! :) I think that with how things are right now we need to be very grateful to have work regardless of how crappy it can be sometimes. I am sure everything will turn out well with your little girl. I will have to catch you on facebook again sometime.

Hey Lindsey!

I remember how frustrating it was to have little ones that were sick and have Darrin out of town all the time. That was the worst! You totally have my sympathy.

One time when Darrin was out of town I took my kids to the grocery store, and for every couple of items I put in the front of the basket, Leah threw something out of the back. I didn't realize it until we were half way through the store, and by then we had left a trail of groceries through the entire store. Finally I gathered up all of our breadcrumbs and made it to the checkout stand, and I was so grouchy at my kids I was snapping at them. There were two perky young BYU coeds that were just glaring at me like I was the worst mom in the world and all I could think was "JUST YOU WAIT!!!", and I silently cursed them with rotten kids.

Hang in there. Things will get better. In just a few years you'll remember these times and cry because you'll miss them.

I love you.
