Okay, so you know how there are those creepy horror flicks where zombies walk around, terrorizing everyone? Well, I'm not stalking anyone (yet!) but I'm looking and acting like a zombie these days. For a full 9 days Noah had a stomach virus that had me up several times a night cleaning him up and washing sheets and blankets. Thank goodness he finally got over that but now my sweet, precious little Noah, who started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks, has decided that he likes getting up in the middle of the night for a feeding. At first I thought he might just have that huge appetite that follows the stomach flu...but it's been almost a week now and he's not stopping. David was gone all this week (what's new?) so I was doing all of this fun nighttime stuff myself. Frankly, I'm exhausted! I really feel like one of those mindless zombies as I struggle to get through each day.
Today Savannah's school was cancelled due to "freezing rain". Isn't all rain in the winter freezing? I can understand a cancellation if we were in the middle of an ice storm or getting some massive snow but freezing rain? Come on! No wonder our kids are falling behind in education; they never go to school! Xander was really excited to have Savannah home for the day, though; I guess I'm just not that fun to play with.
It has definitely been a rough week. I was so saddened by President Hinckley's death though I know that he must be so happy right now being reunited with his wife. I loved that man and know that he truly was a prophet of God. And on top of his loss we have to suffer through all of the political debates going on right now. I don't know about the rest of you but I think some scary times might be ahead for us. (It's easy to see where that aforementioned lack of education is hurting us as we look at the front runners, especially in the democratic party. Socialism? Hmmmm, what's that? Vote for Hillary and this country will probably find out.) Thank goodness I have the gospel that I can turn to to find peace during these times.

Poor Tracie. I don't know how you do it! Yeah Socialism. Isn't that where people just take all my money for the common good? And then they take care of me, right? And I will have a huge house, nice cars, all the things I want. What? You mean I will have nothing? I will poor? Communism/Socialism doesn't provide me with a rich life style, it provides me with nothing? I have to work hard for nothing? Actually, I don't think I will work at all then and still get the same amount as the people working hard. What a great system until everyone stops working when we see those in charge have all the power and money and give nothing to us and they are so smart and we are so dumb that they have to tell us what to do!
Does that comment even make sense? I get so angry I just ramble. I am so sick of the Democrats telling us we are so dumb we need them to tell us what to do. Small government with individual responsibility!
Sorry for leaving so many comments but I just remembered a text my sister in law Laura sent me the other day. "A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have." That goodie is by Thomas Jefferson!
Well done Heidi! But poor Tracie. Have to admit, having kids isn't sounding so heavenly... maybe just enjoying other people's kids really is the way to go! I can't imagine how you got through all of that. I hope that little Noah starts sleeping through the night again and gives you a break soon. We sure love you and will pray for you!
