My husband just paid for another year of use for this domain name and he’s insisting that I write here. Why have I been gone so long? Many reasons. One is that I mostly write about my old job here and someone that I used to work with had a family tragedy that upset me very much and I didn’t want to write. Another reason is writing requires thought and my brain is turning into Swiss cheese as we speak. Still another reason is that I’ve been busy, so get off my back, OK?

So, what have I been up to? Well, Bubba, my latest bambino is now 7 months old and he’s just the most handsome child ever born. Totally cuter than the baby Jesus. He’s rolling around all over the place. Peanut is turning into a regular little Princess. She’s starting preschool this year and she is very excited. She knows how to use the computer now so she likes to hog mine all the time.

I also have another website which I have been neglecting, that way Hollow Possum doesn’t feel bad.

We got a new puppy and one of cats decided to move across the street.

So that’s all that’s been going on with me.

What about you?

Two years today I moved here. And I still hate it…

The other day, Peanut had her choice of fruit snacks in the grocery store. Dora, Princesses, Scooby-doo. What did she choose, you ask? Here’s the picture:

Yup, fruit snacks in the shape of tractors. She is officially a hick. May the Lord help us all.

ROGERS, Ark. – An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Cesarean section Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 inches long.

“The ultimate Christmas gift from God,” said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children. “She’s just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters.”

The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters.

Jim Bob Duggar said Michelle started having contractions Wednesday night. She needed the C-section, her third, because the baby was lying sideways. Jim Bob said both baby and mother were doing well Thursday night.

“We both would love to have more,” he said.

The cable network TLC broadcasts a weekly show about the Duggars called “17 Kids and Counting.” Chris Finnegan of TLC — which handles public relations for the Duggar family — said the show’s name would be updated to account for the latest addition to the family. He said TLC also will air a show Monday on the baby’s delivery.

Jim Bob Duggar is 43, a year older than his wife. Their oldest child, Joshua, is 20.

The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jordyn-Grace, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 17; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 12; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 8; James, 7; Justin, 6; Jackson, 4; Johannah, 3; and Jennifer, 1.

“Our whole family is excited about Jordyn’s addition to our family,” Jim Bob Duggar said. “She’s just perfect in every way.”
