Random thoughts

So here we go.....
-On the way home I got frustrated at a rude driver. If this guy were any closer to my car he would've been pushing me up the hill. I'm sorry but I don't feel like going 80 mph up a canyon is that slow.....so back off! I was only in that lane to pass a slower vehicle. Anyway, when he flew past me, I had a surge of road rage and flipped him off! Well, after I did that and as he got a little further ahead of me, I could see that he was a sheriff! OOPS!
-Today at church, my five month old was the noisiest of my kids. How does that happen??
- The kids got a new bunkbed. Brett fell off the bottom bunk on the first night.
-Feeling like I need a change... not sure what kind, but something. My hair, my house, my routine...something.
- Got a new calling in Primary. I teach Adam's class...CTR 4! Kids are good, and its helping me to actually feel involved in our ward.
- I feel like I have no energy. I've been running and instead of getting easier, it seems to be harder lately. I have to get my thyroid checked again...its been a while.
- I could really use a night out. I don't care who with....just out. I get too melancholy being cooped up in my house all winter. If anyone wants to get together, I'm a cheap date :)

Happy Birthday Brett!!!!!

My little Brett Packer is 3 years old today!!!! That seems like it flew by so quickly and yet I still have those days when I cannot wait for him to be a little older. :) So much has changed and he has grown up so far beyond his years.

Brett is a fire cracker of a kid and he definitely keeps me on my toes. He is loud and proud and 200% boy! He is the most polite little terror I have ever met! (Grandma Jo has nicknamed him her precious stinker) He is constantly busy and therefore, I am constantly busy. Even when he is playing in the other room, he comes out about every 5 minutes to make sure he hasn't missed anything.

He is totally loving being an older brother to Ethan and he takes advantage of every opportunity to hug and kiss his little "E-fan James". He loves to make Ethan smile and is the first one to say good morning when Ethan wakes up. He has learned that he is supposed to kiss him on the top of his head, but every once in a while he sneaks one in on Ethan's face.

Brett is by far a daddy's boy. He loves to talk to Ben on the phone and comes running when he knows his daddy is home from work. They have almost the same sense of humor and it usually has to do with potty talk.

As grown up as he thinks he is, he is still my little boy. I love when he comes in my room in the early morning to snuggle before we eat breakfast. He is loving and is always up for a kiss or hug. He is obsessed with superheroes and one day, I'm sure he'll have little boys of his own and will be able to be their superhero. Love you Brett Packer!!!!!

The after holidays hangover......

I've never had a hangover, but I'm pretty sure this is how it would feel. During the holidays, I stayed up late, woke up early (with a little help from my boys) and now that its all done and over....I just can't seem to shake this funk I'm in. I'm tired all the time, I'm sooooo not motivated to do anything. I finally started to take down my Christmas decorations today, but I never finished. But I do have a cure.....its called "the inlaws are coming to visit on Friday!!!" I can guarantee that is enough to snap me out of la la land. My house will be getting a head to toe overhaul tomorrow to make sure its presentable for my neat freak in laws.
