Slacker

Yes, I'm a slacker. It has been a whirlwind week and a 1/2. I began my new job; and here are some things that have happened: I got sick with the stomach flu and actually threw up while driving home from work, in my lunchbox, and then was sick for the next couple days, I missed work on my third day, then went to work on day 4 & 5 still feeling yucky, my mom was in the hospital with chest pains (!), Haley got strep throat...and about a zillion other things that happen normally. This doesn't include the 5-6 basketball practices or games and the 3 volleyball practices, plus guitar lessons and other stuff that happens normally. I can't really say that it has been that great of a time for us. Jeff has had to miss a lot of work, taking care of Haley, snow days/kids off, and then picking them up from school and taking to games and practices. He is sooo behind in work! I think that we are finally settling down now. Jeff has been a trouper though. This week he has cooked 3 crock pot meals: chili, chicken cordon bleu, and pork roast tonight. Tonight when I got home from work he had the table all set fancy with mashed pots, roast, gravy etc and said, "Steve and Sherryl are coming over for supper in 5 mins!" He invited our neighbors over for supper! The girls had a snow day today and she invited them all over to make stamped valentines day cards, so he invited them over for supper. It was soooo nice to sit down to a supper I didn't make!!!!! I swear...food tastes better when you don't make it! He did a WONDERFUL job, it was very very yummy. I was impressed.

I am so behind, I haven't even posted pictures from our vacation yet. They're coming! I can't do it tonight because they are on our laptop that is at the church.

Tomorrow night I have to go to the church right after work to work on the worship folder, Jeff will take Jenna to her bball game that is "away" and then I will have worship team practice. Jeff will then race Jenna back to the church after her game to youth group. I have no idea where the younger two girls will be: with me or Jeff. It will be just kind of where they end up; there they are! (sad!)

I promise I will do better at posting. I pray things settle down more. I really do love my job already. Every day it is something new. Today: regression testing some new computer programs for most of the day and then making files of recipes for a customer on the computer. Tomorrow making 100 binders of these recipes! Each binder will have about 100 pages in it. It will take us a long time. Lots of computer work! I really like it!

Must go and get Jenna to bed. I hope that catches you up a little on our lives. And I hope your lives have been a little smoother than ours lately!
