Argh! Why do I feel like I am getting the flu even though I had a flu shot. Why are my kidlets acting pre -flu like even though they got the shot? Palease flu do not come to my house. You are not invited. Stay the frank away! I mean it. I will tell on you!
Today is my last day at the office until the first of the year. Thank goodness! This is made possible by my trusty assistant Jet who will man this shack until I get back. Thanks Jet.
The kids and I have been trying to keep up with advent activities. Not doing so great of a job. But, something is better than nothing. We have had a great time during this preparation. We have also been talking a lot about babies since baby Jesus has made a debut in our home. My big boy said if we ever have another baby boy he would like to name him "Thunder or XRay" great choices considering that his girl name was "Salad or Sally" for short he said. I bet his name choices mature as he grows older:)
My husband and I have been discussing the thought of adding a 4th to our team. I love the question when you first tell others you are pregnant. "Oh did you PLAN this?" Really? Does it matter? If I say no, you don't automatically think that I am crazy for having another child. But if I say Yes, its full of "What?!, 4 really" You are on your way to being the Duggars. Frankly, this can be really negative. In the past, I have laughed it off and said "Well, I AM a good Catholic girl" everyone seems to think that's funny. But I don't like making a "mockery" of my faith I guess. In general, I try to make a point in saying my hubby and I are open to the blessings that God has for us.
Still feeling a bit of the ick. Hope to jump out of my office really soon. That sounds so funny. Dont worry, I have a main floor office :) One more meeting to slam through and I am off like a lamp.
I wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a safe New Year!

I am the only Catholic Christian in my family and despite the fact that I am the oldest and could be expected to be ahead in the childbirth order AND have fewer children than my parents currently, I still get similar comments from family members and friends. Go figure. Still searching for a graceful and gracious way of answering the comments. :)
Thanks again for leaving a comment. You always brighten my day. My hubby and I are expecting number 4. I will be 3 months pregnant tomorrow. We had just started telling family and friends and got more " Was it a mistake" commments. I was shocked. I cant imagine how it would be for you being the only Catholic in your family. I come from a Catholic family and still got comments. Hubby and I are thrilled or #4 and will always be open for God's blessings :) Peace.
