Okay I have figured out that I am horrible at this whole blogging thing! I haven't been on here in quite some time. Not a whole lot has gone on since October besides that the girls got sick again and then got sick AGAIN. Late Fall/Early Winter is evil in our house. Ava loves school but at the same time she acts like when she gets home she can't get enough of workbook pages. She absolutely loves doing them! Ella likes doing them so long as Ava is but otherwise couldn't seem to care less.
In the time since I have been on here my best friend has found out that she is having a girl and I am so excited for her! She has wanted a little girl for as long as I can remember...and for those of you who know me well know that I can remember a lot things. I got to go to Bree's ultrasound that day, I haven't been to someone else's ultrasound before, it was kind of neat to see everything in her eyes. The day was bitter sweet as we got home that morning to my mother calling to say my Grandmother had passed away. It had been a long time coming and wasn't that much of a surprise but it was still upsetting all the same. I was glad that I got to say goodbye but I hated seeing her as she was.
Also, Brian's job has gotten a whole lot better as well. Now he is home every single weekend and is only gone every other week from late Sunday afternoon to late Friday afternoon. I can handle 10 days away per month rather than 28! I love that he is home every weekend. I still catch myself checkin the calendar to see if he will be in that weekend. It is sad I know but it is what we got used to. I have to say that if I didn't have such an independent streak this past year would have been horrible.
Now there are a lot of things going on around me that I don't totally agree with and some are really upsetting me but I have to say that I am not going to let it get in the way of me living my life with my family to the fullest extent.
Oh yeah and did I mention I feel old? My ten year reunion is coming up and kids I used to babysit are entering high school and college. Yep...definitely starting to feel old. I did like that a staff member at the high school thought I was a student here recently. That made me feel good, at least until someone pointed out that I was no longer a student and hadn't been in quite some time. Thanks, I appreciate that lol.
Here's to a great year ahead of us!
