Cough Hack Silent



Well, I'm still sick. So sick, and I laid around so much today that now I don't feel ready to go sleep, though I know I need the rest. We missed our co-op class today. Was pretty bummed as it was the last one until January :( But I didn't want to share germs and wasn't feeling well enough to get there anyway. Paul has this now, and he won't stay home and rest, so I'm trying to get him to rest when he IS home....

The kids have been pretty good. Abby started this sickness and is completely fine now, Jacob started sounding off earlier but says he's fine...we'll see. They did tomorrow's schoolwork, since we don't do much more on Mondays other than co-op classes. So I had to readjust and add some things to their assignment notebooks. I thought about just giving them the day off, but we just took all of last week off! They didn't seem to mind, I think they liked getting back into a routine after the week off!

The tree service guys finally came and took down our large tree at the side of the house. Last Spring it kept brushing the house with the limbs, you could hear them scraping the roof, so the landlord had it trimmed. When they did that they said it was diseased and needed to come down because it was unsafe. It also has roots that are probably hitting in the foundation. I would never buy this house without having that checked out first! Jacob wanted so badly to go out and watch, but I was afraid of him getting in the way and the guys didn't need to worry about him. He did have a great view from the patio door though....

That's all I have for today. I should shut down and turn out all the lights, Paul never goes to bed unless I'm ready to go too, and he's dozing on the couch.....

Be Blessed!

Reviving the blog


I've been wanting to post again, but feeling overwhelmed at the thought of catching everyone up with what's gone on in our lives since March. That is too daunting, and most of my readers see my facebook and have a good idea of all our goings ons :)

So thought I would just jump in again.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving. The last couple of years, since we've been in Idaho we've gone to Paul's dad's for Thanksgiving. This year his stepmom has not been feeling real well, so we offered to host. I had no moments of extreme anxiousness, this is huge for me! I've been completely off anxiety meds since November of 2008 and it felt great to host a holiday get together and have fun doing it. Paul and the kids pitched in alot and it really was quite fun!

We've had snow off and on all week. It's been pretty much snowing today non stop.

We also put up our tree today, so I'll post a pic of that and leave you there for now.

Be Blessed!
