i am back!

They finally let me back on the blog today! I don't know why i keep getting kicked off. Weird. Anyway, I had fun just now catching up on all the news. Ben and Mary Ann, love the last tan picture of you two. You are one FINE lookin' couple! I am happily jealous for you! I can't wait for you to get to Minnesota so we can enjoy some good non-stop belly laughs around the campfire! Caleb and Bennie, please read my comment that i left you back on that post that you guys are discussing who is right and who is wrong. Tam and Steve, glad to have you home soon...(here already?) All you birthday people and anniversary couples... ...congratulations!

The kids and I have been pretty sick for the past 2-3 weeks. missed a week of work with sick kids and then i think i had pneumonia again...bronchitis for sure, but i just took my stash of antibiotics rather than go to the doctor myself and get diagnosed. When you are a nurse and you go to the doctor you are made to feel like a hypocondriac, then if you don't go in and you get REALLY sick, they say "why do you neglect your own health?", when you finally DO go to the doctor! you just can't win, can you? The good news is that we are feeling better and Ethan is done with his prednisone and no more nebs needed. YAY! It's a scarey thing when your kid can't breathe right.

We have 7 baby kitties that the kids are keeping busy with. Baby kittens everywhere. They will go to the petshop in 3 weeks or so. That is a good deal for us. We borrowed our best dog, Sunny out to mom for awhile since she is feeling alone with Dad being gone for so long. When I told Emma that sunny was staying with grandma for awhile, she bawled and bawled. She thought i had given her away! We will get her back this weekend, i suppose. We will go down to see dad and everyone else. But get this...THEY ARE FORECASTING SNOW FOR THIS WEEKEND!!!! AGAIN!!!! WHAT!!!??? I am getting rather depressed about the whole snow thing. It's the weirdest winter i have ever seen. I think i will take Rick up on his condominium on Sunset Lane he had rented out already this winter. Is it still available? Have the original owners returned yet? Did you get those other wild people out of there that trashed the place and ran a meth lab in the garage? I bet they'll never suspect a thing.

Nancy...regarding the jeans in particular...how many pairs of jeans did we leave there? Which brand are they and what size? do they have holes in the knees? If they are the ones i am hoping they are, i will have you send them. otherwise, they can wait until bennie comes.

well, that's all i can think of for now.
if anyone wants to write dad, he will get mail at St. Mary's Care Center
1027 Lincoln Ave.
Detroit Lakes, MN 56501
(218) 844-8214-his line.
we love and miss and miss you all. -Sara and the children

If you have satellite connection to the internet, i've noticed that during these snowstorms, we have a bad connection...is that what your problem is or is it all of our southern brethern that are shunning us because they don't want to hear about our winter? You know, just kicking us off the blog? It just feels so much better when we can brag/grump about it....
