A blog that started out as a humorous tale of raising 6 children, then quickly became a chronicle of my grief at being suddenly widowed. Now it's the rest of my journey ... of living, laughing, crying, praying, rejoicing. Of being happy, sad, angry, content, sorrowful, alone, amazed and very, very blessed. And still taking life, one breath at a time ........

My bootstraps broke

Good afternoon my darling daughter. Just wanted to tell you that I love you.
If it helps at all I was up from 2-6 AM with a stomach virus, and let me tell you it wasn't pretty. I still have ZERO energy and my body is aching badly. I'm sure I don't compare, but I don't feel good and I want my mommy!
so sorry, j. was thinking of getting a pair of pink boots with furry liner for B. Do you want a pair? Sounds like you need something soft. and pink. and warm.
Maybe you should consider those boots that the guys wear in the Ocean Spray cranberry commercials. I don't know what they are called but they go up to their chests and have straps that go over the shoulders. Kind of like boots and over alls in one. I bet they make them in a nice shade of red or pink for girls. If you can't find any of those you should just tell anyone that doesn't do what you want or need what Shelby told us all last night. She was trying to tell everyone to raise their hands to play a guessing game with her. When no one raised their hand she threatened with a very sweet voice to "slice us like a pizza." Yeah, she's five and she means business. You should just walk around with her in front of you to ward off any yuckiness. I love you.
Tamara, Thank you for the genuine and great-feeling laugh. My children laughed and D2 says that this will be her new "phrase" --- "I'm going to slice you like a pizza!". I needed that ... a lot. I love you .... so much.
If he wants his "mommy" then he should have woke HER up at 5:30AM just to tell her he was sick. (oh, yes he did!!) And I had to go to work today. He is off until after the New Year. However, I came down with it on my way home from work. Merry Christmas to us!! Love you! XOXO K1
Oh no he Din't! Men are SUCH babies (I would apologize to all of my male readers but I'd wouldn't mean it. So sorry for not saying sorry. Wait .... no I'm not!)!
Ohhhh...I have you beat! My husband was the baby in his family. His youngest sibling is 8 years older than him. SO...they babied him and spoiled him SOOOO bad! When we got married, he thought that whenever he was sick, he got a BELL to ring whenever he needed something!!! He whines and snivels worse than anything. I TOTALLY vetoed the bell thing though. In fact, I told him that if I heard a bell ring, I would shove it somewhere! Poor K...I hope you guys feel better soon:) Lisanne

I got my invitation to the dedication today in the mail. It was very nice but made me cry. I love you so much sis, with or without your boot straps!
