And this morning as I struggled to roll out of bed and wiped the snot off my youngest's nose I thought of what an old woman I am and how happy I am as an old woman with my old man and children.  I am also very excited about the new Costco!  Woohoo!

I woke up this morning at 4:30 a.m. and could not for the life of me go back to sleep.  I am now sitting downstairs listening to Christmas music (yes it is too early -- but it is a guilty pleasure) and enjoying the silence of the house before the Dobbs men awake.  Little Rebekah has been kicking non-stop all morning, so we are having some girl time. 

I have been chasing the boys' runny noses all weekend and sure enough I woke up this morning with a sore throat.  I don't think there is anyway to avoid toddler germs so you might as well just put on a brave front and await your doom.  However, I wish I could just take it all from them.  Those little snot nose faces and coughing babies make me want to spoil them just so they feel a little better.

Well, that's all for now.  Time to make some tea and nurse this cold.
