3 sick kids, 8 year anniversary, and 5 live-ins.
ENOUGH TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, HUH? I KNOW. SO EACH OF MY KIDS ARE TAKING A TURN WITH A VIRUS THAT HAS MADE THEM CRANKY, CLINGY, & CRIERS. ON THIS DAY ALL OF THEM ARE OUT OF COMMISSION. AT LEAST WE ARE GETTING IT OVER ALL TOGETHER,..KINDA.
ABOUT THE 8 YEARS. IRA AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED 8 YEARS THIS WEEK. I MUST SAY THAT I LOVE HIM MORE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE. HE IS A GOOD HUSBAND WHO WORKS HARD FOR HIS FAMILY AND TRIES HARD TO IMPROVE HIMSELF IN OUR RELATIONSHIP. I APPRECIATE HIS EFFORT AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE YEARS TOGETHER. LOVE YOU HUN!!!
NUMBER 5 ADDED WITH THE 5 THAT ALREADY EXIST IN OUR FAMILY WOULD MAKE 10. YEP, I SAID IT 10. THERE ARE 10 OF US LIVING TOGETHER FOR THE PAST WEEK. 6 OF THOSE 10 ARE 4 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER. HOW DO YOU LIKE THOSE ODDS? MY SISTER AND HER FAMILY HAVE MOVED DOWN HERE FROM WASHINGTON AND ARE STAYING WITH US AS THEY FIND A JOB AND HOME. THE JOB CAN NOW BE CHECKED OFF THE LIST AND NOW TO FIND A PLACE. SO FOR NOW WE ARE 10. ACTUALLY IT IS NOT SO BAD. WE HAVE EXTRA KIDS TO PLAY WITH (AND FIGHT WITH. LOVE HATE THING WITH THE 2 YEAR OLD KIDDOS.) I GET TO HANG OUT WITH MY LITTLE SIS THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN FOR 3 YEARS (IN PERSON, SKYPE DOES NOT COUNT). EVERYONE HAS DONE QUITE WELL WITH THE CONFINING SPACE AND HAVE REALLY WORKED AS A TEAM TO KEEP THINGS FLOWING AS BEST AS WE CAN. I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER AND STAYING POSITIVE DURING THIS EXPERIENCE. I HAVE ENJOYED GETTING TO KNOW MY SISTER'S LITTLE ONES AND INTERACT WITH THEM. PLUS I GET TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE WITH LITTLE GIRLS SINCE I ONLY HAVE BOYS AND SHE HAS ONLY GIRLS. THEY ARE SURE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I AM USED TO WITH ALL THE DUDES IN MY HOME. LOVE THEM ALL.
WELL GOTTA GO CLEAN UP WHILE THE KIDS ARE NAPPING.
