Babysitting, babysitting, and more babysitting!

Christmas week. My mom has a million presents she needs to wrap. You do the math. She said we all have about 10 presents for each of us kids and 8 kids. 80 presents is crazy. So while I recover from getting my wisdom teeth out I am babysitting. I wish I could have went to work but I think I would have scared the kids. I looked like a chipmunk (it is odd both sides were swollen but I only got one side out for the study.) I think I would have scared those kids. I am really ready to go back though. I really do love my job. Back to my wisdom teeth, I felt like somebody threw a softball really hard at my face so it was sore. But I wasn't in like a lot of pain. Just ache, which sucked too. I couldn't send my missionary a letter and I felt really bad. I was not able to because last Saturday we dipped chocolates and it is so good. Even though I can't eat any chocolate until tomorrow at the very earliest. But I did send Brody a tape recorder and of course a tape filled with just me talking. I sure hope he liked it. Brody asked for me so that is what he got. I am so grateful for him. I hope his phone call will be good for his family. I hope I can hear from him soon with a tape. I don't know if I am invited to hear him at his family's house. I understand if I'm not because it is his family time. I will have plenty of time to talk to him when he is off of his mission in 18 months. I am so happy I can now say 18 months. It makes me so happy that he is doing so well. I can't wait to see him and hear from him.
