I don't feel good



We have had some sickness here; I was in bed all day on Sunday and Mondays. I will spare you the details. Well, after two days of telling a two year old that 'I don't feel good' what do you think that Elem said for two more days himself? Yep. "I don't feel good" You guessed it! ugh. He felt fine. Just one more way to get Mommy to come back at bedtime, naptime, and any other time. On the fun side of things, Elem started using the 'potty' a bit. He is quite proud of himself.

Maris has been to the doctor in the past week and now is 26 inches long and weighs in at 13 pounds 14 ounces! She growing and growing. She even rolled over from her front to her back while at Dr. Addy's. It was cute and fun to see her do that.

Jeff has been finding lots of side jobs to keep himself employed these days. This week he is working for JRob a sign making company. He claims that if he actually got paid a decent amount of money, he could do this job forever. Hmmmm. Good thing he doesn't get paid so much - or wait is that a bad thing. Not sure. He has also been initiated into the education world by subbing! He subbed for a special education teacher, a 4th grade teacher and 5th grade teacher all in the course of three days. It was eventful and he is full of stories already.

Me, Gretchen, well, I plug along with my job as Mommy, SLP, and all the other roles that I try to fill. I'm good. God is good.

2009 Blog Begins

Remember Doogie Howser, M.D. ?? Who would have known when I was 12, and so was Doogie, that his method of journaling on his bedroom computer would be the way of the world in 2009. I remember watching Doogie regularly and enjoying seeing him complete his thoughts of his day with his simple but so very articulate words of 'wisdom' typed in typewriter font in orange on his computer at the end of each episode. Ahhhhh, so glad to join the technical world, even in my digital immigrant ways. Here begins 2009 with the Rottmans. In the simple words of Doogie that first episode run in 1989, ..... "My life will never be the same again".

If you want to relieve the Doogie days, don't hesitate to view the first episode online at:

Enjoy!
