Memoir Monday

When I was little here’s what I knew about Santa: I was supposed to believe in him. He lived in this magical, wonderful, happy place. He was kind and he wanted me to be good. He knew EVERYTHING! (And you better believe he was keeping track of what I did!)

Here’s what I knew about Jesus Christ: I was supposed to believe in him. He lived in this magical, wonderful, happy place. He was kind and he wanted me to be good. He knew EVERYTHING!(And you better believe he was keeping track of what I did!)

So, of course, I reached the only logical conclusion: they were brothers. Duh!

So Sad

I've been frustrated with our camera for a while because the battery compartment keeps coming open.  Also, it goes through batteries VERY quickly.  I've been putting up with it though because I didn't want to buy a new one.  The last few days, however, the batteries have been falling out all of the time so we started looking into a new camera for Christmas.  The one I want is actually on a really good sale at Costco so we decided to go with it.  We're going to go pick it up tomorrow. So I should be happy right???

Well, here's the sad part.  I just realized that there are chunks of pictures that are missing.  I haven't been paying close attention because I haven't had time to blog or do my 365 anyway.  Today I had some quiet time (unbelievable!) so I sat down to do a post about the Bradley's visit.  I couldn't believe how few pictures I have.  Then I remembered other pictures that I had definitely taken that just aren't there.  I still have some but our whole day at Gettysburg is gone.  Half of our trip to DC?  Gone.  My birthday?  Mostly gone.  I know it's not the end of the world but there were some good ones in there.  I'm especially bummed because I had taken some really fun ones for my 365 that are just gone.   As if the missing pictures weren't bad enough today it just absolutely died.  Perhaps it was ashamed of betraying me, who knows???  I had just taken some really cute pictures of James eating ramen noodles so I'm hoping to salvage those somehow.

So, dear readers, should I open the new camera ASAP or wait until Christmas? 

I'm So Sick and Tired...

...of being sick and tired!!!  Over Thanksgiving I realized that I've been sick for 3 or 4 weeks.  Yesterday I admitted to myself that it's probably not normal and I meant to call the doctor.  I kept forgetting until my mom called at 4:45 to say that she had been to the doctor and had a sinus infection.  Since we were the ones to get her sick a couple of weeks ago I decided to do something.  I thought it would be much easier to go to an Urgent Care after the kids were in bed than try to find a sitter during the day.  So I went.  I had low blood-oxygen and they gave me a chest x-ray.   I have a sinus infection.  And bronchitis.  But now I have medicine so hopefully I'll get better soon.  At least now I don't feel so guilty about all the naps I've stolen when Layne has probably deserved them more.
