Sick, sicky, and sickest

   So first of all, everyone was sick this week. For Baylee and Emilee, this was the first big sickness since, you know, the NICU and Baylee having to be revived twice. For Caleb, it's been one of the first times since the daycare days. Eddie's job has him working around recruits non-stop now, so all the little nasties are bound to rub off on him at some point. Caleb has seasonal allergies, which I'm pretty sure everyone and their mother has here because of the crazy amounts of pollen. Seriously, my white Dodge Durango is currently a bright shade of yellow, thanks to the paint job of mother nature. I should probably wash it, but it would just be yellow again in 5 minutes.
   With me being stuck inside I've been making things non-stop. So yes, I broke my lent thing and I went on facebook this week- I've been staying off the personal page except to log in, and I've just been going on my "business page". But still, it's breaking my "facebook fast". I started off having Mom post stuff for me, and Eddie do some stuff, but that was still kind of cheating. So I'll have to think of a way to make up for it. So far I haven't eaten meat on a Friday though, and that's an improvement since last year, where I totally forgot what day it was and ate like 3 bowls of beef stir fry, and I'm pretty sure I had a ham sandwich for lunch, and a sausage thing for breakfast... Yea. I went all John Wayne and had like 5 lbs of meat in my intestines.
   Eddie has been making a pretty big deal over me breaking the facebook thing, and him staying off video games and being a good Catholic, even though I've been one for wayy longer. But I attribute a lot of that to the fact that the PS3 HDMI cord was broken until 2 days ago, and he really couldn't play them. So let's see how he does now that it's fixed.
   Right after I went on facebook for the first time though, our router died on us, so I'm pretty sure that was God saying, "Hey, I see you. Sinner." Or it may have just been that the thing was super old, but I'm going to take it as divine intervention anyway.
   Other than that, I'm just sitting here, losing my mind. No pictures of the kiddos this week because I'm pretty sure everyone has seen snot and crying children before. Plus they cry if I look at them and don't pick them up, and because there are 3 of them, at least 2 are crying non-stop. So I have a pretty big headache by this point. The good thing is Eddie had a down week, so he's been getting home pretty early everyday, so he can help with the snot and the holding and the crying. If it would have been a regular week I'm sure I would already be institutionalized by now.
   Oh- we got new phone numbers- so if you would like them, please email me and I will gladly hand it over. Eddie is now officially a South Carolina resident, so we finally got the South Carolina numbers. I was pretty sick of having to tell people around here my area code 3 times, and them looking at me like I had 3 heads. It was a Yuma, AZ number that I got when I was in Hawaii... like 6+ years ago. So yea, email me at BrittanyDiegel@aol.com for the new one if you'd like it (and if I know you... because if I don't know you and you want my number that's a little creepy. Unless you really just want to be my friend. In that case I would like an essay on why you're cool, who you are, and how much effort that friendship would require. High maintenance friendships aren't really an option for me at this time.)
   Ok, so kids are back to screaming. Aren't you lucky that you're just reading this and not listening to it. One of the many reasons I don't do the video blogs (or VLOGS.. which is a funny word). So Hopefully I'll have some pictures up this weekend if we get to finish up the rest of the veggie garden. Plus updated pictures of the pig named Beans. He's gotten to be a big'un. And if the kids feel better I'll be sure to get some of them too! I know they're the actual reason all of you read this thing, so don't fret- the magnificent Johnson 3 will make an appearance!

Love and all that.
