down time

i have some down time today and I am not sure what to do with myself. All the kids are occupied but I am so afraid to start something KNOWING full well the minute I start something they will come running. SO what ends up happening is I get nothing done in fear of starting anything where as if I started something I might just get something done. Does that make any sense at all? Maybe I will go start something.....NNNNNAAAAHHHHHH.......

checking in

chad came home last night and asked if i had posted anything on my blog lately. i was pretty amazed he even asked because he had not said anything about it for months. so i decided to post something. i also am sitting at home with a sick girl and trying to entertain 5 other children. the sad part of it is the sick one is a friend that was spending the night, not one of my own. anyway, we are home so i thought i would take a moment to post something. there is no way to update all of you on all the things that have happened since my last post (months, right?) so ai am not going to even try. but i will start with right now. kids are great, holidays went well, chad is busy, and i am content. i am enjoying writing this so maybe i will get back to posting once and awhile. no promises but i will do my best and forget the rest!
