Let the chaos ensue

And this is the clean-up...

I don’t know if this happens to everyone, but it seems that cleaning up the holiday decorations is more chaotic than anthing else during the season. I really dread this clean-up and the fact that I will probably forget to pack up something that will end up living on top of my fridge all year.

Welcome 2009

The kids are wishing you a fine 2009

We had a great new years day. Dad was home we zoned out with our new Wii, there were walks to the park and most of all we all enjoyed each others company. Here’s to a great 2009!

The Sicky Weekend

My karma must be on the low side… This past week I had to call my roadside assistance three different times, only to find my husband’s POS Land Rover needs about $2000 dollars worth of work. Then my teenager spent all night Thursday and all day Friday barfing his guts out. My daughter has been complaining about not feeling well and last of all my littlest has been running a fever for 3 days. Now my stomach is rumbling, arghhhhh.

These are the times that are the most challenging as a parent. Living on very little sleep, wondering who is going to go down next, and trying to keep up my own strength so that I might be spared from the puke-fest.

All this comes among the good news that my husband will be returning from Iraq sometime during the week of the 15th. Things should be turning around to the light shortly, good karma don’t fail me now.
