Kids by the Dozen

Hey, this blog is turning into a desert wasteland....
Where is everyone? Stacy, did you fall off the planet, haven't heard from you in like 2 weeks. I tried to call you Sunday and didn't get an answer, just wanted to check on ya!

C left for Elko again yesterday so I stayed up way too late last night and watched TLC. They had two shows on about families with 16 kids. The one about the Duggars that you saw Wendy, and one about a family called the Heppners. I liked both of them, and I'm quite in awe of the organizational skills of the moms, the patience of the fathers, and the helpfulness of the children. Very inspiring. I really loved the Duggars new house, but I'm wondering how in the heck they paid for all that new stuff on top of just the regular expenses of caring for a family that size. Dad must make BIG$$$. I have to admit their clothing and hair styles could make you mistake them for polygamists, but very nice people. The Heppners were more normal, per se, and lived in a much smaller home, but Dad is a contractor and has custom made storage to make it work for them. The love exhibited by both families was amazing! I wish my kids loved each other like that. Maybe if their mother was more loving in her actions they would be as well.

Wendy, glad you got a good judge. I hope things continue to go well and you can get this over with and move ahead with life. Are you still spending more time in Monticello than Blanding these days? Did you find a place to rent? When do you move back up there?

Karla, I've been having a hard time sticking to points too. Too many things I'd like to eat. But I have been exercising a bit more than normal(which isn't hard, since that # is 0), doing some of the workouts on FitTV that I like. I keep wanting to bag it, but I have paid for 3 mon on WW online, so no can quit now.
Sounds like a good party plan for Allie. I hate sleepovers, but we do lots of lateovers.

Mom, are you living down at the store now? I tried to call you Sunday too and didn't get an answer. C and I were planning to come to Manti, but I just realized I scheduled Visiting Teaching for that morning. I'll have to see what I can do.

I bought some organizing stuff today and organized part of my bathroom closet. I need to go back and buy one more drawer unit and a cute canvas bin or two. Oh, well, at least I made a start. It's going to be an interesting year around here as I go through everything and figure out ways to be more organized and efficient. Found lots of junk in that closet that was good to let go of.
Well, better go figure out dinner. Probably soup and sandwiches tonight. Something easy.
