Just for Jenn

Hey there—

I just saw your comment. I'm lame like that too...and lazy. But just so you know, I'm here and I'm fine. I've been sick, and so has the baby, the husband, and the two other kids. Lots and lots of Kleenex and grumpy people with chapped lips live here. Thus, our to-do list is comprised mainly of catching up on housework: laundry, bathrooms, sink full of dishes, etc. I have another non-housework to-do list that's like 60 items long (including "update blog"), but Makai just deleted the entire list last night, so as far as I know, I need only to clean my house.

I've also been busy Christmasifying (my bro-in-law's word) the house a little at a time and doing advent calendar activities with the kids (more to come on that). My office has turned into Santa's workshop, seemingly overnight, what with the arrival of multiple on-line orders at my doorstep. The wrapping station has been set up, warnings administered to the kids, and items marked for return set aside. Our listening ears are transitioning to Christmas music, and snow boots/pants/gloves/hats/jackets are in place, ready for some of the white stuff to arrive.

I wish I had "people," so they could call you for me and schedule a time for us to get together. You could come over, sit on the couch, and talk to me while I clean the kitchen and fold laundry, and yell to me while I'm vacuuming. I would definitely welcome your company (and any treats you might be inclined to bring). Or we could have a "coloring" party, where we could work on the you-know-what. Or maybe you don't know what...I guess you'll just have to call me.

Toodle-oo,
Lindy

P.S. If not before then, I'll see you Saturday. You'll be coming to a clean house, I gare-ohn-teee.

So much change and growth in the past year. Taken one year ago this week (look at that snow!)...she's outgrown those clothes and I had just found out I was preggo with baby Tevi.
