Ugh.

I haven't been keeping up with the blog as some of you might have noticed. My body is not cooperating and so blogging is on the bottom of the list when I have to make myself do something. I am hoping this next week things will start to mellow out and I can get back into a semi-normal routine. Wish me luck!!

Sept. 11

9 years.

Crazy!!

I posted this on fb already but for those who don't read it-

Kelsey was telling me "Our teacher was telling us about these terrorist attacks, I think they were in New York or something, and it was crazy, we had to watch videos and it was sad."

And I thought to myself has it really been that long that Kelsey doesn't even know about it and definately doesn't remember it? I said something to Sean about it and asked him "Does it seem like 9 years?" and he said "When I think about the event No but when I think about all that's happened then Yes."

And he's right.

Since 9/11/01 we have

gotten married

lost family members

had Jase

had Jayda

John and Kaylin came to live with us

Sean has switched jobs 4 times

we have had countless animals

extended family has more than doubled

John and Kaylin left

we've gone through an unnecessary amount of cars

finally got diagnosed

Kelsey came to live with us

we have flipped numerous houses

and moved 13 times.

We are living life.

And I won't forget that day.

I am glad I was old enough to remember it.

I think that's important.

It makes me very grateful.

I have been able to live my life and I'm grateful.

A week

Holy Cow it has been a whole week since I posted. I have been avoiding the computer lately. Facebook too. People are starting to notice and worry so I thought I would post something. Anything. So how about Jase's tooth saga......

It started out with one loose tooth that she refused to wiggle. After a few months the other was also loose. We got on her about getting them out because of what happened with the bottom tooth and it growing behind the loose one. She could push both front teeth out crazy far.

Then the day finally came when she pulled the wigglyest one out herself. We were in the car and she asked me to pull over so she could pull it out. I was pretty proud of her because she had been making it into such a big deal and then finally just did it. Well the next day her second tooth looked like this.....

Pretty weird huh.

She kept biting it and it was causing her a lot of pain so I told her I had had it and we were pulling it no matter what she thought. Well long story short--we tied floss to it and in her fit of me not wanting to pull it, she jerked away and pulled it herself. So now our little princess has no front teeth.

Look at them pearly whites coming in.

Wahoo....my fingers thank you!

It is 10:26 pm.

Do you know where your husband is?

I do.

You may be thinking that's a bad thing. But oh contraire.

It is the best thing!

Despite the fact Sean keeps saying "C'MON!" and "shoot" and even "dammit" once.

Why is it so great?

Here's a hint.

A big hole in the cabinets.

Yay!!! O how I have missed a dishwasher.

A year and a half is far to long!
