I've been a bad, bad journaler.  I haven't written anything in months.  I think I've been in a kind of depression about this whole back thing (which still isn't solved, but we won't go there today) and about my lack of time with Jacob ( Read more... )

It's so lame, IMO, to be excited about a dryer, but God am i ever!!!  TJ and Dad started work on the Laudry/storage room today and it's supposed to be done (we hope) by next week.  Then we can finally get the dryer (it's too big for the laundry area we have now) hooked up.  I can't tell you what a relief it will be to be able to dry the clothes ( Read more... )
