Holy Cow It's Been A Long Time!!!

Well... ladies and gentleman... all my faithful followers... I am back from hibernation. I just noticed that my last blog was posted on December 9... I knew it had been a while but didn't realize it had been THAT long... Thank you Thank you Thank you for sticking by me. I didn't lose anyone and somehow I pickup up another along the way. Bonus!

I totally thought I would have blogged much more than I did over the holidays. We went to Oklahoma day after Thanksgiving and stayed until New Years. Fun times. It was good to see my fam and the boys really enjoyed hanging out with the grandparents they rarely get to see.

We were constantly going back and forth between my mom and dad's house that I barely had time to situate everyone before it was time to pack up and head back to the other house.

All in all it was a good trip.

That said... I am SO ready for January to be OVER!

John and the boys got colds right before we left to come home. Zac - the youngest - had his cold turn into an ear infection four days after getting home. Got that cleared up and I came down with the worst cold/flu ever on Sunday night and Caleb got it Tuesday afternoon. We watched a LOT of movies that week. Its hard being so sick you can barely function... taking care of an equally sick 3 year old... and a quite healthy full of extra energy 8 month old... We all got well and rejoined the living on Saturday night. John threw me the most amazing 30th Birthday Party on my birthday Tuesday the 19th. Then last Saturday I got food poisoning at lunch and spent 7 hours Saturday night paying homage to the gods and all day Sunday in bed. Never had food poisoning before... let me tell you... not fun. My stomach still isn't quite right. The extreme cramping finally faded last night but it still hurts a little when I eat. I guess the silver lining in the whole mess is that I lost about 6 or 7 pounds between the flu and poisoning.

So I guess that about brings us up to date. We just changed the location of our computer so I should be able to blog a little more often. Bear with me as I get back in the groove of things.
