Wow, Talk About Dead

I remember when... it used to be so natural, used to be, to talk about forever, used to be. Now you hardly talk to me anymore, when you walk through the door at the end of the day.
You couldn't wait to blog me. Used to hate to leave me. Now after ignoring me late at night, you just roll over and turn out the light...

You see Meags and I talk to each other every day. I get to hear Hazel screaming first hand. Meagan gets to watch Sadie lick the snot off the top of her lip, firsthand. We don't really care what we write, it's all of you that we care about. Mindi quotes, Leash laughs, Jess' DINK life that I try to live vicariously. I am not going to even mention when I last heard from Chels and Lyd. It would be just too tragic. We're back to risking estrangement in heaven.

I know I haven't been the best blogger and I am repenting and starting anew. I would like to encourage you all to do the same.

Let's see, what to tell you all? Remember the little stuff. That is what my life is full of- Ellyn has been re-enrolled in early intervention. She gets reasessed on Friday. She still only says "momma" and spends much of her time in her own little dream world. I have been praying that this is something that she'll grow out of with a little extra help early on. It worries me but what can I do but fast and pray and know that Heavenly Father has a plan for her. She was sick this past week and we spent the whole week glued at the hip. If I set her down she would scream and cry nonstop until I picked her up again. Yes, I felt bad for me, but I felt worse for her. Poor baby, she was so miserable. She's back to her happy, turkey baster totin' self this week and I'm pretty thrilled about that.

We spent the whole weekend playing with Mike's family again. His brother and his wife were in town. We played lots of card games and went bowling and ate lots of food that I hated writing down in my food journal. It has rained 22 out of the last 23 days here and so all activities are indoors. I feel like I'm going a bit crazy. Mom and Meags and I did get out for a little walk a few days ago. I thought that I was going to go insane if Ellyn and I didn't get out of the house. So we went walking along part of the Lewisville River that we had never seen and there were about two dozen salmon trying to jump up the waterfalls. We had so much fun watching them.
I frankly just don't know how those little guys are going to make it to spawn.
It looked way too hard. This computer is making me type weird, built in tab in a bizarre spot. Well I have to go get Jane from school. I love you all. Keep on bloggin'. Love, Brooke
