silence

There has been a lot of silence on my blog lately. I just don't know what to blog about and it has been a little on the busy side. Koby says I should just not blog if I have nothing to say. Then he said maybe I should just go clean up that mess if I have nothing to do. Ha! It was said in a nice voice though, and it is a paper mess that only I can organize/ throw stuff away.

Tuesday the 20th was a big day at our house. Forget that Barack person, we were focused on more important things. Kallie had her last breastfeeding session. (wipe a tear) I'm sure you were all dying to know this information. I don't think Kallie or I were ready for that moment, but it needed to be done. I haven't worried about nursing while being pregnant because I think it is just fine and safe for me, the baby and Kallie and I have been eating well enough. My doctor did suggest I wean her in the next few weeks (I did it in a week) just because it puts more stress on my body. I figured I might as well be done since Kallie is over 13 months old and I hoped it might make me feel a little better. And I think I do feel better. I'm still tired but not as tired as before and I feel a little better generally. My hormones seem a little more stable as well. Of course, I have started to enter that time (12 weeks) when you generally feel better anyway. :)

After breaking into tears while I hauled my kids to the Bishop's house to make lots of noise and messes visit teach his wife, I called Koby and he started "Operation make Sha sha happy". It has been good and maybe that is part of the better week I have had. He has gotten Brigg breakfast every morning, let me sleep in a bit, emptied the dishwasher and helped around the house. This is all in the morning before he heads to work. I don't expect it to last forever because he also works from home first thing when he gets up for awhile until he heads to the office. But it has been nice.


We survived teaching the preschool day on Volcanoes. On Tuesday when I told the kids what we would be learning about on Thursday, one of the girls broke down in tears, almost hysterics and said she wanted to go home. I talked to her mom about this and was willing to change the topic but this little girl came on Thursday ready to learn about volcanoes, Brigg's favorite subject. She only got nervous a few times and asked to go home once. It was a success! We even erupted a model volcano Brigg and I made earlier and watched a real volcano erupt on the internet. We had mashed potatoes built into volcanoes with gravy, but only a few kids were into that. Thank goodness I had "volcano" Hershey kisses for back up.

Kallie cut 3 molars this last week. Wahoo!

She also got her mullet trimmed so now it looks like a boy cut. It still looks better than the mullet. Someday I hope she will have hair. I just tell myself I have that much longer before I need to do her hair. I should count my blessings.


We did the laundry.


And the kids did their daily exercise- wrestling. Kallie usually wins.
