Completely Sleep Deprived With Cabin Fever November 13, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, Little Man Dallin, My Handsome Husband, Photography, Princess Hannah, Thoughts , trackbackWhere have I been for over a week? I am a one mama show with two very sick kids. I have been able to see, hold, rock, feed, and talk to my children every hour the past few nights. I actually called David to share with him the crying harmony of our children. I’m nice like that. I didn’t want him to be left out.
On top of a very sick toddler and a very sick baby boy who also is just plain needy, I have been the steward over a green bebe Hannah picked up at my sister’s house last week. This tiny choking hazard has become her most prized possession. I can count on her asking me where it is 77 times a day. Do you know how much brain power it takes to know the whereabouts of this little thing? A LOT. Especially since my brain is currently being used in more productive areas like HOW TO GET MY KIDS WELL.
But, right now, the little bebe is under the kitchen table on the wood floor.
And that is where it will stay until Hannah remembers to ask me about it.
On a different note, my kids and I enjoyed a very early breakfast with my dad this morning. (Unfortunately, we were all up very, very early.) In passing conversation, he mentioned how he remembered when plastic was invented.
As I choked on my chocolate protein shake practically spewing it on him across the counter, I said, “EXCUSE ME? I’m pretty sure I didn’t hear you correctly. Are you implying you were born before plastic was invented?”
And then he was all, yes. I am old. Very old, and you better respect your elders.
And on another unrelated topic, did any of you watch Oprah yesterday? I happened to turn Oprah on at the right time when she announced a great giveaway for ALL VIEWERS. Snapfish is giving away a free photo book to everyone! Click here and create your free book! It must be uploaded by midnight Sunday. I have made several digital photo books before, but I have always used My Publisher (which I have loved) and out of curiosity, I have wanted to try other digital photo book companies to see different layouts and styles. Now we all can, FOR FREE!

Thanks for the heads up on Snapfish. I’ve never used them but I love Shutterfly. You really need to get into this, it makes things SO much easier. I make one every year of our family.
oh, i forgot, sorry your kids are so sick. we just got over the stomach flu here. yuck!
Emily, thanks for your comment! Your husband commented too. I can’t believe Superdell got so many votes!!! What were people thinking?!?!?
And I’m sorry about your kids being sick. Being sick is the worst!
I’ve added you to my Reader and I will be back. Have a good night!

I am SO sorry that the kids are ill! It is NO FUN! I also could kick myself for not checking your email sooner about ‘Snapfish’ – I am guessing the date was Sunday, Nov. 16th? So, we missed it! But thanks for the heads up… that is what I get for not keeping in touch!
We send our love!
