[fair warned be ye says i: this is basically just a rant. you probably don't want to bother.]
and it did not work out like we had planned. ezra had his 9 month appointment (96% height, 56% weight) and got his foot pricked and had a flu shot. just recovering from an ear infection and going through some serious teething made things worse. it is hard enough being a parent to healthy children. they get sick and things are so much worse. this all happened a day before we went to salt lake to stay at the little america hotel with the sorensons, an annual christmas tradition. we look forward to the swimming, the food, the shopping, the movies, the walking around at temple square, the relaxing... and really didn't get to do hardly any of that. it wasn't a complete disaster, parts of it were fun. but after waking up with ezra about five times saturday night, we were exhausted and were not about to go through that again so we drove home sunday night.
i had a minor melt down saturday night after a dinner that i spent 95% of walking/chasing ezra around the crowded place, him falling and getting hurt, wanting to go into the kitchen and every other place he isn't allowed. i know i'm describing a lot of my frustrations but really, it was awful and i broke down crying, in front of most of his family. but i can tell you how much i love them and really consider them my own family. i am a lucky girl.
so on our reluctant/frustrated drive back to lindon, justin said we should name 5 things that are going good right now. turns out, i need to stop feeling sorry for myself and just try to enjoy life. even if the only pictures i took were of justin & ezra eating at mcdonalds at the gateway food court.

i'm sorry your weekend didn't turn out lyssa! well mine didn't really either... i got sick and i'm still sick. it has been no fun. but i'm praying i'm better for tomorrow. its been TOO long since i've seen you and the girls. we all deserve a night out together :) love you!
I'm sorry lyss! That's really hard when things don't turn out the way you plan. I hope you and ezra are feeling better :) love you!
:( i'm so sorry lyss! i can only imagine all of the many many difficulties of parenthood...i'm scared out of my mind. but jus is right, gotta find the positives! but really i would be super sad in that situation too. i hope you're doin better! i sure do love you. :)
I'm glad you were able to go, even if poor little Ezra wasn't feeling well. I bet he knew his cute little girl cousin was at his house and he really wanted to be home to squeeze her face. :)
Hopefully tonight will be a blast so you can enjoy a new Clegg tradition.
