Injured, Sick, Sleep Deprived, Messy and Mad

Rosanna has a broken foot, I have a sore knee, Caroline is coughing a lot from her cold, Rosanna and Caroline had a fight over a missing sweatshirt, Larry said he might as well not go to bed because he wouldn't get any sleep, the house is a mess, especially the girls' bedrooms and bathrooms, Larry was very, very mad, I haven' t been sleeping well or getting much done.... This is what our week has been like. I'm wondering, will we ever be able to have any company over this year????

Anonymous said...: Sounds like a bad week at the Monson house. My advice is to go for a run on the trail tomorrow. Maybe you will come home feeling energized and want to attack those bathrooms. If not, you can always visit with your friends & family on Facebook :D; February 19, 2009 at 9:34 PM

Welcome to Our Place - Updated for Spring 2012

We live between Marysville and Granite Falls. Larry still works at Crane-Eldec in Lynnwood, but due to a change in his work schedule in February 2011, he is no longer in a van pool. Instead he bought himself a Ford Focus to use as his work car. Shirley is Mom, "chauffeur," and chief bunny caretaker. We have two daughters: Rosanna, age 20, and Caroline, age 17.We used to have two pet bunny brothers, Lucky and Thumper, who turned 9 years old on October 5. But Lucky got really sick, and had him put to sleep a few days before Christmas last year. So sad.... Thumper doesn't even miss him; he is happy as long as he is fed!

Larry and Shirley are really into running this year, qualifying for Half Fanatics in January. The Seattle Rock-n-Roll half marathon will be our fourth in 2012, and we would like to do four more, if possible, and move up in Half Fanatics!
Caroline is a junior in high school, and Rosanna continues to work at the Ralph Lauren Polo store at Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip.

We all continue to enjoy taking photos, and Rosanna also took a photography class at Everett Community College last spring. (We bought her a Nikon DSLR for the class). She has made some money doing photography for a local business in nearby Granite Falls last fall. And I am still using my super tiny Olympus camera for photos "on the run!"
