Dear Children, I hope you had a fun relaxing break from school. I am sad it must come to an end. Dear Body, having my back go out AGAIN, and my monster shoulder(aka disc's in my neck) attack causing a monster headache all day and night just plain sucks. Having Hailey bring me an ice pack for my neck and a breakfast drink cause I'm stuck in bed, and shaking that drink before I open it only to find that drink all over my bed because she already opened it just plain sucks too. Dear Pulpit, yeah I said pulpit. I actually climbed over six people and walked up there and shared my testimony of Jesus Christ. I usually save this for when asked to speak in church because I hate it up there. But during my fast I was overcome with such gratitude for all that I have and did not want to ignore a prompting. I am proud of myself, that was a hard one. Dear Barrow's, I love you. My favorite pizza brought to me hot and fresh, the kids watching cartoons while eating dinner(the only time this ever happens)and everyone seems happy. Dear BBQ, at the neighbors house. It was fun and the kids had a blast going down the zipline. Of all the kids Kade was the most nervous, funny. Dear October Break, I have loved spending the week at home with all my chicks right where they should be, at home with me. Dear Awkward, talking about the trash can behind my car as I get in, after getting six kids in the car forgetting about the trash can and backing into it knocking it over...yeah. Dear Toothfairy, why are you always late? Maybe because out of my four kids they have lost FIVE teeth in the last two and a half months! Dear Sis, thanks for going out with me super late and seeing a movie you have already seen. I would have stayed home and cried probably. I love that we can always laugh even when I am super sad. Still can't explain why when you said "I like your bun" I responded "I'm not fat". Dear A, thanks for babysitting the girls, they had fun. Dear Kade, it was nice to spend a little time alone together even if it was going to a Dr. appt. You had quite a lot to say about fire and the atom bomb, I hope this is normal for an 8yr old boy. You asked me "mom, was I a pain in the back when I was little" and then after speaking with the Dr. you said "mom, I believe I'm doomed"! I love you so much. smile. Dear Self, I'm sure life would be so much easier if I had a strong healthy body. In my mind I could be so much more if my head would just stop hurting. Although I am glad I have a head we will see if it turns out to be of any use when I go back to school. Scary.
