Commitment---Renewed???

So much for my new commitment on the last post. Life has been pretty insane around here lately. We moved on July 9th (and 10th and 11th) to a town home in south Idaho Falls. We're still trying to get settled in. This time we didn't have Daniel's parents stay for a few days to get things done. It's just so hard with 2 little ones under foot.

This last week was really busy and crazy. On Thursday I worked all day and through 7am Friday morning decorating Ashley's (sister) wedding cake. Then we went to the wedding Friday afternoon where I was the photographer. (on 1 hour sleep, no less.) We drove into Oakley, Idaho that night getting in just after midnight, only to get up at 7am to watch the Goose Creek Run-Off runners come in. (See http://goosecreekrunoff.com/ for what in the world that is.)

Went to a family reunion Saturday afternoon, then drove to Pocatello for my niece's 3rd birthday party. Left there in time to get home around 9:30 that night with my 4 year-old nephew Tyler in tow. (He was actually in tow since the wedding.)

I still feel like I'm trying to play catch up on the sleep thing.

Gotta go edit some more pics and head to bed. That's all 4 now. (The rest, concerning Daniel's job negotiations, will have to wait.)

New Commitment

So, I've just decided that I've been horrible at journaling lately, and since I never quite have my jornal at my fingertips (unlike the computer, which is often at my fingertips--literally!), I would start jotting down simple daily things here. Not the deep, special, spiritual stuff--handwriting is always better for that for me--but the daily, Talmage-cut-his-4th-tooth-today kinda stuff.

So, Talmage cut his 4th tooth today! It the second one on the top, he's missing the two middle top, and has two on either side of the middle, and the two middle bottom teeth. He's been crabby all day.

I spent the morning at the dentist having a root canal done and 3 fillings. Worse part was my stuffy nose and struggling to breath through it. Interestingly enough, to stick with my exception to the rules lot in life, the canal had what is called a "pulp stone". Like a gallstone or kidney stone, but in the pulp of the canal. He said they're rare, like 1 in 100 root canals have one. Figures! Get to go back tomorrow for another root canal and fillings.

Gotta sleep!
