That's how long we didn't have our internet connection. I know...not a big deal at all. I did find I had lots of extra time which is horrible when I think about it. Am I spending that much time cruising the net? Sadly, I think I am!
We are gearing up to start school again tomorrow...at least that's my plan. I really need a trip to Costco and Walmart but came home from church today and ended up taking a nap. Not very productive. I haven't gone anywhere this week since our 5 year old decided every night after dinner on Wed.-Fri. that he would throw up. But only after dinner. I didn't want to chance taking him anywhere though. He seems to be ok now.
The older three went to the beach with Daddy - I don't think I will be going until I lose some weight (which I should really make an effort to work on). Soccer season starts soon and I had planned on getting in shape by then but what was I thinking...getting in shape during the holidays. I can no longer blame this extra weight on baby fat...I haven't been able to for a while but I'm stretching it now....Our baby is turning 2 on Tuesday..how does it go by that fast?!
She is totally into Veggietales so guess we are going to see the Pirates this Friday. They are pretty hilarious. I haven't bought her anything for her birthday but am thinking some new veggie movies would be good. They will come in handy during school hours too. Right now she's dragging a stool over to the kitchen counter to try and steal some more red vines. Rotten girl! And watching a hilarious song by Veggietales singing about how he doesn't have a bellybutton but they are supposed to be N'Sync or a boy band like that.
I haven't been doing any crafting lately. Not sure why not..but I do have a few crafts that are needing to be finished and eventually we'll get the girls some bunk beds so I need to start on some quilts for their beds. Looks like there is some fun fabric lines coming from this talented woman and this one too. Can't wait!!
Oh and the post below...they lost. Very badly! Poor guys ..and now it looks like our coach is headed to a different college. I really don't blame him. He tried hard here. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. I guess the important thing is that you played.
So here's to 2008...may we really "play" this year instead of just standing on the sidelines watching time fly by. That's my goal for this year. To actually participate in life and stop letting little things trip me up or distract me. Enough already. I need to get on the ball! I have a wonderful husband and 4 great kids. It's time to start living life to the fullest. With the Lord!
Ok I'll get off my soapbox now...Happy New Year!!
***man, did I have some typos when I read through this again!! Oh and the flu is slowly spreading to other family members - ughh!***
