A Page From My Wreck-It Journal

A page from someone else's Wreck-It Journal.


I think all of our daughters have a "Wreck It" Journal--this kind of modern-day journal that records really interesting and random facts about your life. It reminds me of something future archaeologists would love to happen upon.

 Anyway, I don't have a Wreck-It Journal myself but I thought I'd copy a page from it and create a Wreck-It Journal Blog Post today. Just for fun.

 (PS: Now that I am writing, I'm wondering if there is an electronic version of the Wreck-It Journal? That would great.)

 (PPS: I just linked you to Amazon because I want you to see the journal. I am not in any way affiliated with Amazon.)

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
