Super Busy? Super Awesome? Super Sick? Super Exhausted? Super Travelers?
For 2009, I managed in 112 posts.
What happened to 2010?
Seriously, only 51 (now 52) posts?
Kind of makes me sad because we had such a great year and I didn't even record over half of the memories, funny stories, amazing trips, etc...all of the the things that kept me so busy from blogging/journaling/documenting.
And now I wonder, do I dare resolve to do better next year?
Or be happy if I maybe get 25 in 2011?
What have we been up to...
Rob and I went to Japan in September. I miss spending so much time with my husband.
I had EXTREME jet lag--like 5 weeks long. Yikes.
We were Super Heroes for Halloween.
Instead of sticking around for that holiday, we went to Disney.
Before we left Evan had strep throat. And then pneumonia.
Our van's radiator exploded on the way to Disney.
The cost to fix it and the rental car (so we could still go on our trip) cost almost the same as 10 day Disney tickets for a family of 6. Gulp. Bye-bye for now new counter tops.
Anna was a trooper while at Disney, happy as can be but had the worst sounding cough.
Guess who else got pneumonia? I miss when Anna is sick. She's better behaved.
I loved spending over one whole week with my family. It really was a "magical" vacation. When can we go again?!?!
I got Anna and Evan's cough. Doctor says it was a sinus infection. 3 weeks later and it's still here. She was wrong.
During those three weeks, Evan and Anna both got sick again.
Evan has missed 9 days of school already this year.
I need to disinfect our house. I need to feel good enough to do it. I have high hopes it will get done tomorrow...
We bought a new vehicle. Something a little more reliable, something will a little more room.
Rob drove to PA and picked up my parents stove and dishwasher and installed them in our kitchen. We love them!
We hosted Thanksgiving dinner. It was a great day with the the Johns and Phillips families.
Our house is a complete disaster as we decorate our home with holiday spirit.
Really, you haven't missed much.
"...we have great reason to rejoice. If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most.
Strength comes not from frantic activity but from being settled on a firm foundation of truth and light. It comes from placing our attention and efforts on the basics of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It comes from paying attention to the divine things that matter most.Let us simplify our lives a little. Let us make the changes necessary to refocus our lives on the sublime beauty of the simple, humble path of Christian discipleship—the path that leads always toward a life of meaning, gladness, and peace." Of Things That Matter Most, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
3 comments to remember:
52 posts in one year averages out to about once a week. Not to bad, for a the super mother.
See, now all though things are blogged about. Can't wait to see your Christmas decorations and get some idea.
And we had a wonderful time at Thanksgiving.
I loved this post. It's so real. That's one thing I always have loved about your writing. You give us your lives-the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm so sorry the kids got so sick before vacation. I remember following that on Facebook. Poor babies. But can I tell you what a good looking family you are-dressed up or dressed down!
