Jim started a bit of a tradition with building Gingerbread Houses with kids dating all the way back to when Jamie and Jenna were little.?? Tanner and Tori took it quite seriously but Ty could think of nothing other than eating the house.???? He thought of every way imaginable to phrase questions about the utter demise of the Gingerbread House.

I gotta tell you.?? This week has not ranked high on my favorite weeks list.?? Nothing earth shattering.?? Just overwhelmed.?? One always forgets how exhausting it can be during the raising infant months and with every addition comes more responsibility and less time.?? Being desperately task driven, I was in a heap of tears this week when Jim came home from work for lunch on Wed and I felt like I had worked myself silly for days just to get some quiet time and the house, once again, demanded my afternoon.?? Brooke made me giggle because she told me that the day before she was exhilarated by the fact that she had gotten the MVD paperwork done and the tags securely in the vehicles.?? It was a task that couldn’t be undone and no one would undo for her.?? OOOOOHHHHHH how I appreciate that comment.?? That is exactly what is ailing me.?? I don’t normally melt down over a never ending task list with tasks that I have checked reappearing all over but this week just totally did me in.?? Add to that, I seem to have come down with a cold (or terrible sinus allergies) and I am M.I.S.E.R.A.B.L.E.?????? Not really a good day to catch up on blogging because I am terribly whiny.?????? On the other hand, I have no energy for any other chore so catching up on the blog is what I intend to do (to the degree that my baby will allow anyhow).

There.?? I cried it out.?? Now I can move on.???? 🙂

Lot’s more to come….
