Mono's the word...

MONO. Seriously, I didn't know that you could even get that if you weren't sixteen! Guess what!?! You can and I have {with a sinus infection on the side}. Yep no more complaints of "I am so tired today" from me because being tired has taken on a whole new meaning. For the last 6 days all I want to do is sleep, in fact, it's darn near all that I do do. You would think I would be so well rested, but guess what...I am tired, STILL! Thank goodness my mom came up to rescue me so that my children can have some semblance of a functioning mother figure and so that my husband doesn't feel totally abandoned.

I love my mom!

So, I haven't been feeling great. OK, mild understatement, I have been feeling terrible for about 8 days now. Mom to the rescue! I love my mom. I love that I can call her and give her my pitiful sob story about how I need help and I LOVE that she comes! She's such a wonderful example of what a mom is and the kind of mom I want to be. She has helped us ferry kids, made dinner, grocery shopped and she's here for the week! The kids love having her and just having her here has made me feel better. So today, and always, I am so thankful for the love and strength that comes from family!

Regrouping on Sunday Night

We made it to Sunday night, but not without a casualty; Maggie had a flare-up of her ulcer, which put her down for the weekend. I played Mr. Mom for much of the weekend, shuttling the social butterfly Isabella to her various sleepover parties and trying to keep a lid on things.

Our friends, the Yeends from Laramie, were in town this weekend and we had a nice dinner last night with them. Their daughter Mackenzie and our Hannah are great friends, they spent every waking hour together.

Finally, Finn the pound puppy was having some "issues" related to his recent neutering procedure. Dr. Zancanella told us that he was not leaving it alone and we needed to put the lampshade back on him for a few days. Finn has now been running into walls, the backs of our legs, etc. since Saturday morning with the bucket on his head. It is sad, but kind of funny. He has to keep it on till Tuesday.

Busy week coming up - SLC on Tuesday, then back on Friday for the WWB fall board meeting. In between, lots of work stuff and things starting to get busy with holiday concerts and recitals.

Party in the usa

My Awesome Weekend

This weekend I got to see my best, best, best friend Mackenzie. It was awesome because we played monopoly and I was so close to winning, but she had to buy one last place. Anyway, we had a sleepover and in the morning her sister fell off the top bunk. Then we were all laughing so hard. Also in monopoly she cheated by taking all the money, but she didn't get all of it. It was so funny!
