…so much for 4-wheel drive
Taylor had shakespeare tryouts today. He did a tiny part, but he did it. And he did a dang good job, too!
As i wasn't really interested in staying all day long while they did casting and such, i got a friend to bring him home, and left.
…well, i tried to leave. When i got out to the car, i was blocked in. There was enough room to maneuver around the cars on either side of me, so i wasn't too worried (i forgot to take into account the 2 feet or so of snow, plus mushy earth). I got stuck, pretty quickly. AND it took 6 youth, and 2 additional you to help push me out.
I'm just grateful that i didn't feel like a complete moron, and everyone was willing to help and didn't make me feel horrible.

i introduced a new friend to this blog, and then discovered that my background had vanished. turns out, the website i got it from, is no longer in existence.
so, i went searching for something new. it will probably continue to change until i find what i really like.

birthday boy
michael turned 4 yesterday.
i was induced at 39 weeks, because my mental health was failing. i kept having dreams that i came home from the hospital without a baby, or even a promise of a baby. i was an wreck, and that was a problem. even so, 2 weeks after he was born, i still had a breakdown.
they started me on pitocin around 10, and he was born about 1:30 in the afternoon, and was by far my easiest labor. the epidural helped...
he has continued to be an easy child.
he is such a delight and so much fun. his facial expressions are hilarious.
he's a ham, and completely charms everyone in any situation. including doctors offices.
we are having a small party for him next sunday afternoon. only nana, and a few friends will be here, but it's going to be fun.

update
i've been trying to recover, and that means that some things haven't been getting done.
for example, today we did school for the first time since before thanksgiving.
my gratitude posts have slipped.
i'm doing better, and getting better every day, though!
overall, january was a good month. we became very close to another homeschooling family in the area. we unintentionally spent nearly 4 days and nights with them (partly due to weather, and partly due to distance. they live 20 minutes north, and at 3am, driving that home has not been desirable). however, everyone had a grand time, and we continue to spend time together.
taylor turned 12 the first part of the month, and was ordained a deacon and received the aaronic priesthood. (unfortunately, my family was not able to make it out.) we had a small birthday party for him, and he got some awesome books (that's all i can recall about his gifts...).
michael turned 4 just yesterday. a small party is planned for him this coming sunday (i can't believe he's that old!!).
the snow has continued to fall. the piles to the side of my driveway are about 5 feet high. the kids have a blast playing in the snow, and turning the piles into slides.
shannon complains all the time that snow keeps getting into her boots. i told her that's what happens when you walk through the snow.
life continues on.
