Sunday

Oh my heck, I am feeling so much better today. Still weak, and a bit tired, but so much better!

We went to Lexi's blessing today and it was nice. All the family (in the area) came, so we took up a whole long bench plus part of another. Poor Grandma was in the middle of about 7 of the grandkids! It was nice actually having Steve there to sit with me. I miss that!

After the blessing, we went over ot Dana and Derek's house to have lunch and visit, and watch the Superbowl (sort of). I was pretty tired, and a bit sick to my stomach, but I think that was because I hadn't eaten for a while because after I got something in my tummy I felt better. I got to spend time holding the babies, Kaitlin (7 months) and Lexi (2 months). It was fun. The kids were really good too. Rachie was so grouchy and I finally got her to sleep in Kylie's bed, but when she woke up, she was scared because it was dark (6:30pm) and she didn't know where she was. Poor girl was screaming when I got her. She was pretty sad the rest of the night. I think she was also hungry because she hadn't eaten her lunch very well.

On the way home, Becka said she isn't feeling well, and she started crying about her homework. I am afraid she is gonna get what the other kids and I had. I hope hers isn't too bad. Poor girl! I was hoping that most of the family wouldn't get this icky sickness. She has been asleep for about 3 hours now, now throwing up, so I am hoping that is a good sign.

Jakey lost his tooth tonight. He has been trying to get it out for about a week and he was so excited when it finally came out! Now I just have to remember to be the tooth fairy!

Tomorrow is Jason's birthday. I am gonna try to call him, but ever since they moved to Colombia, I can never get anyone to answer the phone when I call, and I never get a return to my messages. They have Vonage as their phone service, so their number is still the local one that they had here. It is nice!

Off to bed. I have to give this house a thorough cleaning tomorrow. Steve shampooed the family room carpet yesterday, so at least I won't have to worry about that. Because I have been washing so many towels, sheets/blankets that have been thrown up on, I am behind on the regular laundry. I really need to work on that. I also want to get the garage cleaned up. It is ridiculous. I still have the xmas boxes in the house because there isn't a spot for them out in the garage and Steve won't put them in the attic. I was waiting for him to be home on a Saturday to help me in the garage, but he is always gone with church stuff, so I am gonna have to do it alone. I really hope I can get this stuff done. I am starting to feel like I wish I could just get rid of EVERYTHING in my house and start fresh. I am way too sentimental about my things though, so I know that won't ever happen.
