Swensen Sentral

Here we go again. Another night up with a sick child. Two nights ago was Soleil. Poor little thing threw up all night, little 20 lb body tensing up so tightly trying to throw up nothing. Tonight it's Amelie, doing the same. Poor kids. I only hope that I don't catch it, cuz I don't have a mom around to take care of me.

Sawyer is flying, Amelie's swinging in a princess dress, Soleil is dangerously climbing the ladder despite our discouragement, and Chase is finding new ways to use the slide. A perfect snapshot in time of childhood.

I'm feeling sad today.  One year ago we purchased family passes to Disneyland in hopes of making some great memories.  It was so fun going whenever we wanted and we sure did make a lot of memories.  Today those passes expired and I'm feeling sad about it.  Boo hoo hoo :(  Ba-bye Disneyland, we will miss you.

While vegging on the couch watching TV Chase says: "Mom, could you bring the toilet in here so I can go to the bathroom?" Yes, he was kidding, but the fact he even thought if that is still disturbing.

I'm feeling so grateful right now for good friends. Just talked for over 3 hrs on the phone with one of them, and the time actually went by fast. I'm not a phone talker so that's saying a lot. There's only one person I can ever do that with. You know who you are. Thank you. Best quote of our conversation: "I want to punch her in the face, she's such a good mom." Sometimes other people are so good at something that you want to be good at, that our knee jerk reaction is to want to punch them in the face. And that's just the plain truth.

I kinda gave up on taking photos so this is all I got. Kids are SO tired, and so are we.

Swensens came to visit this week and we jammed packed the week full of stuff. Our D passes are expiring this month so of course we had to make one last visit. Going to miss it :(
