Here's

So, no picture today. Oh, wait- today is crazy picture Thursday. Let me go download one. This is a picture of a rug and two throw pillows, taken off the internet from some art show. What a way to say good morning, when you first step out of bed! Let me just say that trying to install my new webcam has been the hardest thing I've done online yet. Blogging is nothing compared to trying to figure out which program that I have installed in the past two years is now using my speaker from my webcam. I feel like my computer has been neglected and now it is loaded down with lots and lots of junk food- ie programs, downloads galore, etc. I have now switched to firefox to get faster service and I couldn't post my blog because cookies was not enabled. First of all, who calls it cookies??? Second of all, who dis-enabled my cookies??? I didn't! Anyways. I will go download my webcam when my computer is washed, cleaned and dried. It even tells me I still have print jobs running from my ol...

Have you ever been so tired that you can't even talk? I am like this this morning. I am normally a morning person, so I am usually talking a lot, or humming or moving around. Today I can barely talk. I had to give Elizabeth a thumbs up, when she wanted to be excused from breakfast. Crazy, huh? I'm trying to install my webcam that I bought so I can use Skype. I spent an hour on it yesterday and Josh even tried it. I think I dropped it, so now it doesn't work! If it doesn't work by Thursday- my errand day- I am going to return in and just get a normal speaker thing. Hopefully people at BestBuy will be there to help me. This is a picture of me for my Sype (sype.com- it's where you can make phone calls online) label thing. This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott

This past weekend we went boating- ok, not me and Asher, but Josh and the three kids. There's a local lake that rents out small boats. We've been there before and we wanted to go before it closes for the season next weekend. The boys loved it. Elizabeth wanted to go back after ten minutes. Now, it is Monday Madness. I let the boys cry themselves to sleep last night. How old are they do you ask? Three and a half, and still not sleeping through the night? Yes! I think the move shook them up. Needless to say, at 2:30 am JOnah woke up and cried for a half an hour. I sat up and waited for him to sleep. After screaming at the top of his lungs, asking for a story, his blanket, anything! he fell asleep. I told them I wouldn't get them the night before, so they wouldn't feel neglected. A half an hour someone cried again, but fell back asleep. At 4 am Ethan woke up and I thought it was Jonah again. I went in there, not willing to let him cry it out again- I would try in another m...

So...yesterday I went to therapy. Counseling that is. I've done it before. When Elizabeth was six months old I began having nightmares almost daily. I couldn't get rid of them, so I went to the counseling center at BYU. They diagnosed me with low self esteem. Ok. There you go. The nightmares stopped and I later stopped going to therapy. Fast forward three years. I had a three year old and two one year old twins and was staying at home. I decided I needed therapy again. This time when I went to counseling all I could tell them was that I was unhappy and that I had SAD- seasonal affective disorder. My therapist was new and we didn't get along very well. She just kept telling me- you are not opening up to me. How could I when I just didn't get along with her? Six months ago, when Asher was six months old, I was reading a relationship book and diagnosed myself with having co-dependency. This is when you rely on others for your self esteem. I read all I could on it and made ...

Welcome to funny picture day Thursday. Every Thursday I am going to post a funny picture. It's to celebrate making through half the week, just like Josh's job does when they bring donuts and danishes to the lunch on Mondays and Thursdays. Sure, you have to work twelve hour days, but it's worth the free donut, right? Sure, you have to slog through my boring blogs daily, but it's worth it for funny picture Thursday, right? In other news, I've bought a web cam/speaker for my computer! Hooray! It should be up and running soon. Now, I encourage all to get one, so I can see your lovely faces from across the country! In sad news, I have run out of money for decorating our home. Now it has to stay in the condition it is until 1) I break down and run my credit card bill higher than it even is now. 2) Josh gets a huge bonus for something (not likely in the near future) 3) I get gifts of money (please send them to: home in need of more stuff, Montgomery Village...

I'm getting ready for a talk this week at Church. I should have known this was coming, as our Church leaders always like to ask the new ones to speak. My topic is Personal Spiritual Learning. Do I know a lot about this? I don't know if I do! And if I do, I don't know if I know how to teach it to a congregation of people, mostly older and smarter than me. We'll see how it goes! If you want to check out my Church's website it is : www.lds.org . This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.
