I always feel like there is no sense in writing in my blog unless I have something at least mildly profound or entertaining to say, but then I end up not writing in it for weeks. It's all so ridiculous. So here I am. Its a quiet Saturday at home for the kids and me. Daddy is working (ah, the life of the self-employed). My youngest woke up not feeling well and fell asleep on the couch (unheard of for an energetic, strong-willed not-quite 3-year-old) early in the day and woke up with a fever of 102.5. Fortunately the Tylenol brought it down, and I only had a short moment of serious worry (I'm thinking appendicitis, emergency room, unheard of illnesses...why are moms so CRAZY?!). I have spent WAY too much time in front of my computer today. I have relatives to chat with online, but more than that, I've been working on our Christmas card. Not inclined to send store-bought or write your basic newsletter, I've taken to making a Christmas Newspaper-type card, customized for our family. This year it includes a great many photos, Christmas drawings by my girls, "articles" updating recipients on the girls' progress throughout the year, the business' progress, our home remodelling and any other "BIG THINGS" happening to us in the year 2006. I also usually throw in a favorite recipe, a favorite Bible verse and this year I wrote a fun poem for the front and made a "MAD LIB" for the back. I guess its my way of justifying those four years I spent majoring in professional and creative writing in college. HA HA. Though really, I'm quite happy with the way its turning out (even though I spent WAY TOO much time on it while the kids were begging me to "make Christmas ornaments" with them -- note to self: get priorities in order!) I did finally unplug myself from the computer (only to return...umm...now) long enough to fix lunch, make oatmeal cookies and do some scrapbooking with my oldest. All in all, a lazy but somewhat productive day. Everything a Saturday should be (except for the sick little one.) Hope all my fellow bloggers are enjoying comfortable and peaceful weekends! |
