There are bricks in my chest....

at least that is what it feels like. I think I am getting sick and it really does feel like I swallowed a large brick and it is lodged in my chest or something. I am also ridiculously tired, but part of that is having children who won't sleep through the night lately.

Anyway -- I have been a horrible blogger and blog visitor and I am attempting to remedy that situation. Not tonight though. I just can't muster the energy.

I miss all of you in blogland. Darn Facebook has ruined me, but I really do need to get back to blogging. It's something I enjoy usually and it seems for the past several months I have just let the things I enjoy fall to the wayside -- scrapbooking, blogging and a few other things.

As I leave you -- I was wondering if you could do me a favor. If you are the praying type, please say a prayer or two for a family I heard about today. My husband coaches my two older kids in basketball through a church program here. We heard this morning that one of the other coaches had a three-year old who got pneumonia and he or she passed away. Just three years old! It breaks my heart. I don't even know them -- but I'm sure they could use some prayers.

Love to my bloggy friends -- catch up with you soon!

Sorry you're not feeling well Rita. Take some care of yourself sweetie. I know what you mean about Facebook. Been trying to stay away there partly cause there's work people(including a supervisor) and I have to be watchful what I say and partly cause there's only so many hours in the day and I have to set limits. So sad about that poor little kid, you just never know, life is so precious. {{HUGS}} and prayers.

I hope you feel better soon! It's hard being a sick mama because so many depend on us!

So sad about the family who lost their little three year old :(
My heart breaks for them.

I was just telling Matt the other night that you and I have seemed to quit blogging. :)

I am glad to see you back. Maybe you will motivate me to post something.

I am steering clear from facebook.

I have been sick tooo....a terrible cold. It's been coming on for a while.

But, oh how terrible for that family. I am heartbroken.

Bella had pneumonia over Christmas. I can't even imagine losing her over something that seems so treatable.

Life is fragile.

And you know I just said a prayer.

Hi Rita,
Hope you are doing better.
This is the sick time of year, strep throat, viruses, flu and the like.
3 of my kids have been sick within the last month.Not to mention Big Roger with a bad sinus infection.

Poor baby girl, how aweful!!
I will definitely say a prayer for that family.

I haven't blogged lately either, I don't know why. I think Feb, Mar, and April are kind of "downer" months. NOt usually a whole lot going on for anyone. I feel like I've been in a "slump". So I know the feeling if that's what you're feeling.
