Robbing my sister.

My sister Jenn hit the nail on the head in her last blog entry...so I am borrowing her words.

"I just want to let everyone who still reads my blog know that I am actually admitting the true and undeniable: I SUCK AT BLOGGING. I am overwhelmed and let's face it, we're understaffed around here. The cook hasn't been showing up and when she does it's just chicken nuggets and mac & cheese. The maid has thrown in her dusting rag and it looks like she hasn't washed the windows for months! The nanny spends all her time driving kids around and is always one step behind the kids messes. The groundsman, landscaper and part-time janitor have colds - the miserable kind that makes you whine and beg for breakfast in bed and hack up some stuff. As you can see, I have lots to blog about but just not enough energy to blog it. I think the bottom line is that the people who are good at scrapbooking (i.e. my friend Amy - who is pretty much good at everything) are also good at blogging. So much for my hope that blogging would become my new scrapbook. No pressure." Jenn.

My groundsman, landscaper, and part-time janitor hasn't been sick, but has been working around the clock because Singapore and Australia seem to have different hours than we do! And they don't celebrate Thanksgiving...go figure!

Let's be honest though, I am super grateful that my husband has a job. I keep thinking about the state of our nation and can't help but hope that we are able to keep a job over the next few years. It also makes me super grateful that we have listened to our prophet's voice and lived within our means.

So there have been good times over the past month and a half; Thanksgiving with John and Susan, seeing Twilight finally, some totally awesome Christmas parties, two dates with John where he actually called for the babysitter one time, and a lot of Christmas shopping. This week we should wrap up the craziness with a dance recital, Christmas book readings, and a choir concert. If we're lucky we should have some pictures to go along with the good times. Until then, everyone hang in there!
