Much to say... so little time

It's been awhile.

I have been cussing that no one really updates their blogs anymore and that if I want to know anything, I need to find them on Facebook. Which is hilarious, because I just looked back at my posts and realized, I AM A HYPOCRITE!!! I didn't say anything about Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years... or anything. I don't even comment on other peoples blogs anymore. I don't know who is actually still reading my blog anymore.

So here is snippets of my life.
Thanksgiving.
Had all of the kids at home... sick. Didn't go to visit anyone and no one came here.

Christmas.

We had the Limb family Christmas Party on the 19th. It was good to see family (I only went for a little bit... I know... slacker. But Tyson had a fever that wouldn't break and had lasted for almost a week).

Tonya was with her dad for the first half of the break. Chabrise went to her dad's house Christmas eve and a little bit in the morning. My family had a small get together the Sunday before Thanksgiving to celebrate the holidays. Ben's family stayed in Vernal.

On Christmas Day, from about 12 noon on we had my mom, Charles and Peggy come and visit the kids. Then we loaded up and went to my dad's house. Then came home, to a mess. Feeding the kids and getting Tonya back to her dad's house by 8. Then quickly off to bed.

New Year Eve

We had a movie marathon. We watched Lord of The Rings (the whole trilogy) on Friday and Saturday morning. We played a new version of Life (I really liked this version). Watched the ball drop and went to bed. And as soon as the New Year rang in, the 2 oldest got sick. One is still sniffling and coughing. It is quickly making the rounds in our house.

Now to the first week of school back. Chabrise has been sick. Has had a fever, cough, stuffy nose and just not doing well. Oh and she cracked her tooth while she was doing concessions on the 2nd. Just barely found a dentist for her and she has an appointment on Monday.

My car is broken. Needs a new catalytic converter.

But the good news is... we are all still alive. None worse for wear. We have our health (mostly). We have a roof over our heads. We have heat to keep us warm. We have food to fill our bellies. We have a ward that is like family. We have the gospel and faith. And we have each other.

Who else could say they have that much?

Glad to see you blogging. If you read my blog you will see why I haven't been updating.

Hope everyone feels better soon.

You must be a busy Mom like the rest of us. I don't even know when I blogged last. Oh well I might get caught up and I might not.

Good update. :)

I'm not on Facebook, I'm just unmotivated and slightly depressed. I should be getting happier this week. No particular reason, just setting a goal.
