Happy New Year!

Good Gracious it's been a while since I updated.  The really sad thing about it is that I have so many things I want to share that I just get overwhelmed with it all and end up not updating anything at all. 

Blah.

Recent news?  Not too much that would really be that intresting.  Lacey got strep throat on New Years Eve, Zach brought one of the nastiest stomach viruses I have ever seen home and it went from him, to Lacey, and I just had my time with it yesterday and today.  We are all just waiting on Andy to get it. 

The kids amaze me.  When they had the virus I knew that they didn't feel well, but they just bounced back so quickly.  Me?  Last night I thought I was going to die....then I was afraid I wouldn't.  The kids?  In between the throwing up they would ask for food, and then after it was over instead of lying around like a slug (like I did today) trying to recover, they were UP and RUNNING like nothing ever happened.  Really I am thrilled they bounced back so quick...I would have hated for them to feel as bad as their old mama did today.  ;o)

Its feast or famine with Andy.  Last week he worked 81 hours....next week?  Who the hell knows.  So while I'm annoyed that he is never home, I'm happy he is getting hours right now.  Who knows when the work will slow down. 

Lacey is doing really well in school.  I did get a call from the VP of her school saying that Lacey was disruptive after school while waiting to get on the buses.  That blew me away...I even double checked that she had the right child.   She wrote an apology note to her teacher and gave it to her.  It was so stinking cute.  I hope the teacher thought so too.

Funny Lacey quote of the day:

She came bouncing downstairs this morning and I told her to stay out of my room b/c I was sick.  She goes 'Oh, well I have to check to see if your eyeballs are still there....when I was sick, mine felt like they were going to pop out....are yours still there?'

I just love that girl. 

Zach is Zach.  Never easy, but such a lovie.  Hopefully soon we will get him where he needs to be.  We've been having some major (angry) tantrums. 

I'll do a picture post soon!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year!!
