I thought I was back...

but then I got mastitis, which put me out for a couple of days.  For those of you who have had it, you know what I'm talking about.  For those of you who haven't, be grateful.  I'm finally getting over that.  


I started a new medication at the same time, and wouldn't you know it has side effects that seem to be taking over my life.  For one, (now don't be grossed out by this) it causes my entire body to sweat a lot at night.  I'm talking my entire body, even my shins and my forearms.  You know, the kind of places you always knew could sweat but never thought would.  The first morning I woke up completely drenched and freezing.  Even my sheets were drenched.  Needless to say, I haven't been sleeping well since.  I've tried sleeping on the floor in front of the fire place and that seems to help slightly, but who likes to sleep on the floor (besides my husband)?  So my first reason for not blogging is that I'm tired.   


Side effect number two is that it has made my mind unable to think.  Sounds impossible right.  If you've ever had a baby, you probably know what I'm talking about, but times that by about three, and that's how I feel right now.  I'm kind of just in a cloud.  So don't ask me to do anything responsible or important, because I'll most likely forget.  Hence my creative blogging ability is GONZO.  If you've read this post and it doesn't make much sense, you understand.

So, once again, forgive my blogging fast.  I know you are all going through "British Adventure" withdrawals.  Which reminds me, I should probably change that name.  Any creative ideas?

I hope to be up and going within the week.   Blog on my dear posse!

You've been missed! I'm glad you made it back safely. Are your parents still with you or is their house done?

Hope you start feeling better soon. I sweat really bad after giving birth. Same thing, in places I didn't know you could.

What rotten news. I hope you kick it soon! Medicine can work great wonders, but it can cause problems of its own. No fun.

While I am sure the medicine can cause you to feel about out of it, I read a story online last week and then saw it on the national news the next day. They are claiming that many moms experience "Momnesia" after having a baby. If you ask any mother out there, we all would agree that our memories seem to go with our children (hormones and loss of sleep). Now we just have clinical proof to back it up!

No ideas for a cute blog title. I often think my creative juices died long ago!

Now get some rest and hurry back. You've been missed!!

Oh man. Mastitis is the worst! I'm so sorry you've been dealing with that. Hopefully you'll be back to normal soon. And, unlike some of us, at least you have an excuse for your lack of brain power at the moment. =)

Chuck E. Cheese & Hannah's Arm

First, my apologies for the not so great pictures at Chuck E. Cheese.  I'm still trying to figure out photography indoors without a great flash. Man, Chuck E. Cheese has been around forever.  I remember going there when I was a kid.  In fact, I just remembered that I have a picture of my sister's birthday party from there.  I think I was 10 or so at the time.  (I'm on the right, my friend Katie on the left.) I'm pretty sure that is the very same Chuck E. Cheese that my kids just went to last week.  How scary is that? Anyway, Clark's brother had a deal for food and what seemed like a million tokens at Chuck E. Cheese, so he wanted to take my kids.  Our nephew was in town as well, so it was a good time for my kids to spend time with him. Here are a few pics from that night: Sammy at the wheel.  My kiddos with Uncle Andy and cousin Zander.  Zander, Kimball, and Sammy  Addi Joy  Kimball's really into basketball lately.  He...

Catch Up, Part 2

These events aren't in chronological order. They're just in the order of the way the pictures uploaded to the post. House & Yard: After four years of living in this house, we've finally gotten around to finishing the yard. We built this house, so we had to start from scratch. We were doing a little at a time. Every year when we'd get our taxes back, we'd do something big on the yard. This year we decided to bite the bullet and just get the rest finished, and I am so glad we did. We had grass in the back, but that was it. No fence, no playground, no trampoline, no borders, no patio. Here's what the back of the house looked like before: We knew we always wanted a deck, so we finally had our neighbor build us one. When it was almost finished, our boys didn't like to go out on the deck because their feet got too hot (it's west facing). So we decided to have our neighbor add a roof to the deck. We are so glad we did. He did an awesome job and it looks gr...

The Best Train Track Ever

By -

Kimball was off playing with cousins today. So, while Addi took her nap, Sammy and I bonded creating the greatest train track we've ever built. It took quite a bit of time and a lot of patience on Sammy's part (which he had a lot of), but we conquered. Here is our masterpiece: We love these Fisher Price trains. We have four that use remotes (as you can see in the close-up of Sammy), and Sammy got the plane this year for Christmas. I'll tell you, I have as much fun if not more than the boys when playing with these trains. They have been worth every penny we've spent on them. I love this picture of Sammy. It shows his mild case of OCD. He has to have all the train remotes nicely lined up for easy access. So cute. By the time we finished creating the track, we didn't have much time left for playing. We had only enough time to learn that we need five people manning the trains and plane in order to keep them from crashing. Oh, but it sure was fun.
