Hi Family and Friends,
I have decided to take a break from blogger. I think I am going to go back to my shutterfly ways and start posting pictures and mini-updates there. Maybe I will come back to this blog one day but we'll see. My shutterfly address is farrellfamily05.shutterfly.com. If I have never invited you to be a member you can e-mail me with your e-mail address and I will gladly invite you to be a member. Jason and I are more comfortable with shutterfly because you do have to sign in and be an approved viewer of our website...we like that extra sense of security. AND I can post a lot more pictures...that's a nice option too since I can never pick out which one's make the cut on this site! I probably won't get to updating the shutterfly site until closer to the weekend, but check it out sometime. There are some uber cute pics of the girls when they were babies on there now.
Farewell blogspot...(for now anyway)!

Blah!
Me and a friend (Kim) used to say "blah" to each other all of the time in 8th grade. We had a facial expression when we said it to each other and everything. We even had journals that we would pass back and forth and write our thoughts, fears, concerns, regrets, yaddy, yadda...whatever it was that was on our 8th grade minds and we called them our "Blah" books. I wish I could find one of them now, I am sure the stresses of an 8th grader would make me chuckle now that I have real adult stresses. It's quite funny though, that was 17 years ago and I still feel like that little 8th grader sometimes. Like not much has changed about me, but oh how it has.
Anyway, I didn't mean to post about Kim or my blah book, I just wanted to say Blah! I am in a blogging funk. Blah, blah, blah! There hasn't been much on my mind, I have been too lazy to upload pictures to the computer and even if I wasn't lazy, I don't have the patience to deal with my SLOW, ancient computer and then there's that thing called time. There's never any time. With babies, work, housework, family, etc., etc., etc. I am finding it very hard to make it to bed at a decent hour, none the less post a blog entry. I promise, I will get out of my funk and post some super cute pictures of my super cute babies soon. Oh, and there's the fact that it seems like most of my blog followers have fallen off the face of the earth. I feel like my posts are sometimes all for not. So people, if you're reading, don't be "silent visitors". Leave me a comment, I love comments and it reminds me that you all are out there reading my blogs and I am not just typing to phantom cyber space.
BLAH!!! Okay, I am done!
Now, on to some updates. Maggie got strep on my birthday last Friday. She's been on antibiotics since and will finish on Sunday, hallelujah! Tyler got pharyngitis on Saturday after my birthday, was running a really high fever and was severely dehydrated. He too is on antibiotics and finishes tomorrow. And last night Emma threw up in her crib three times. Yep, three baths, three changes of clothes, three cleaning up of the bed and three lovey's soaked. Not fun. We think the vomiting was just something that didn't agree with her little tummy and not a bug. No fever, aches, lack of appetite, nothing. Just three bouts of vomit and poof, done. All three kids are feeling good now. Tyler spent the week with Summer and John (Jason's parent's) for spring break out on their property and had a blast. He got home today and will stay through Sunday. The girls are loving their bubba being back home. Oh how they adore him and he them. It does mine and Jason's hearts so good to see the three of them together. Saturday the guys are doing yard work and the girls and I are going to our good friend Hutch's 2nd birthday party. We just found out that he and his family are going to be moving to Jackson, MS at the end of the month, so we are definitely going to have to give lots of hugs. Sniffle, sniffle. We're gonna miss you guys! Sunday it's church, and then after the first service I am helping with the 2nd service 3 year old class while Daddy brings home the kiddos and feeds them, then after naps it's off to my parent's house for our weekly get together with the fam. It's gonna be a fun weekend!
Well, that's about it for now. I promise we will have some pictures to post soon! God bless!

My last few hours as a "20-Something"
Good evening all (well...there aren't so many of you these days). Tonight is my birthday eve. After today I will no longer be a crazy 20 something, I will be a wise, mature 30 year old. That's the way it goes anyway, right?!?!
I am not sure why 30 is such a huge milestone, it's not like a baby turning 1 or a great, great Grandma turning 100! It's just 30. I don't feel any different and I am definitely not sad to be leaving my 20's behind in a cloud of dust. The 20's were fun and wow, the accomplishments, but now I am looking on to the great things to come in my 30's. God has blessed me so much in these first 30 years, I am so very thankful and ready to see what he has in store for me in these next 30! I hope to have a few less regrets in these years to come, but I guess most people do make their most bone-headed choices in the first 30 years of their lives (I said MOST). And hopefully in the next 30 I can learn to forgive myself for those bad choices and stop the torment of regret. I don't have the time or energy for regret and if God can forgive me for those bad decisions, then I too should, right? I will work on that in my next 30 years and I will try to make good choices in an effort to keep the regret list short!
As for now, it's off to a shower and bed, yep it's 8:59pm and I am tired...you know, tomorrow I will be 30! I think that warrants a little earlier bedtime, huh?!?
God bless the few of you still following me. Good night!
