I'm Back.... Almost.

We had a great time going down to see Cassius for his birthday... and Susan for the day after, after her birthday. I wish we all lived close because my kids love playing with their cousins!

I wish I had a house like the lodge and I would invite you all to come and live with me. : ) And we could laugh and cook and clean together everyday. Hmmm. Sounds like I just want somebody, anybody to help me cook and clean. Not that Rachel's help isn't appreciated every time I open the dishwasher door. She starts unloading and handing silverware, plates, etc. to me to take care of. Cute. Mark my words, she will be my best cleaner-upper in about 13 years. Ouch, that is a long time....

Big News... Alicia had her tiny baby. Congrats Alicia (and Nathan)!!

I have been doing Weight-Watchers... and I love it. I am finally in control of my appetites. It has been a few years coming. I can't believe that like one month ago I couldn't say no if someone offered me a cookie. Even if it were a thumbprint cookie with jam in the middle (does anyone really like those?). Craziness... it is like I am a drug adict (junk food adict) and I just went through re-hab. Hurray! I am super excited.

Tomorrow is B's birthday. Five years old! What a cutie. We found the greatest pinata for only $14! It is a big round one with cones and streamers... Power Ranger is what he chose. Sound familiar Cash? Cassius chose a Power Ranger cake for his B-day.

Big news... B just informed me that it is almost Plankton's B-day.

I really should blog about fighting with E because he won't buy me jewelery even if we had a lot of money... He thinks it is a waste of money. I want him to buy me something I want. While trying to explain this he burst out, "If we had a lot of money I would buy you a Ferrari." I started tearing up saying he probably would, even though I couldn't ever drive it because it is a two seater and I am never alone. Before I started crying he started laughing assuring me he wasn't going to buy a Ferrari. I've got a few issues I am afraid, so I won't blog about that.

We went to WIC today, again, for Leah. She is too, too small. She was 2 onces shy of gaining a pound in one month. So, I guess they will still let me keep her. Would that we all had Leah's skinny problems. All of her skirts have safety pins on them because they will slip right off with out some help.

Big news... NASCAR starts this week. Get ready for the Daytona 500. E's car is Jeff Gordon #24 (Dupont) and my car is Rookie Dave Gillilad (sp?)#38 (M&M). I chose my car because it is the cutest car out there. Big ol' M&M's on the car. Cute... and fast. Let's not forget fast.

Well, I'm off to check the mail to see if my Valentine came from Ticee yet. The wait is killing me!

Love to all....
