Checkin in

Can't believe I just heard the "S" word again...soon after 70 degree weather..wassup??? Well, I figured I'd check in more often...to report on the better days. I noticed that the only time I blog is when everything sucks, lol. Since this has replaced my journal...I'd rather not look back only on the crappy times. :)

So, good news is that we are still hangin in there. Work is going pretty good...they got rid of some peeps that needed to be gone. Much better environment!! HOme is good too. Things at D's job are picking up a little. He had a good last couple of weeks. Still going to treatment..3 mo and counting. Yesterday I came home to a clean house and a yummy dinner. It's so nice....his attitude, everything improved by 100%..I'm sooooo happy!!! :D

The girls were sick a couple of weeks ago, but they are back in business, lol. I'm exited about seeing Kayla's play on St. Patty's Day. She got to perform in front of the school last Friday and they are having one for the parents on TUesday!!! I'm buying a DVD, one for us and one for Grandma so the whole family can watch my girl in her first play. I'm so proud of her. Last week, I got a letter saying she was selected, out of only 20 kids in THE WHOLE entire school to represent them in an upcoming event where she and the kids will recite the school pledge in front of other school officials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rick too her to that rehearsal in the morning...they were telling them that they will need to dress "professional" and they rehearsed the pledge which she already knows by heart.

AND even yet, the MOST AMAZING is that she had a friend call here and they talked for almost 30 min!!!!! LOL...I mean, she's had a couple of school friends call here b4, to set up play dates and stuff. But this was a full blown conversation, haha. I was playing it off like no big deal, but was eavesdropping the whole time. I was cracking up, had to call D to tell him. She was like a little teen...asking her friend Gracie things like, "Does your MOm let you wear makeup?" and "What time is your bedtime on weekends?" ...talking about everything from school to movies and music. My baby is growing up. I was just happy to see she is making friends. Putting her in the drama club has helped her self esteem and she's met friends. She's kind of a little celeberty now in her class, after the play she said all the kids were asking her if she was nervous and telling her she did good!! Thanks to Mikey for helping me in the beginning when he would pick her up from practice while I was at work. :)

Ahh, speaking of Mike. We miss you!!! Hope everything is working out. Sorry to hear about Zuli's parents. It sux when things like that happen and you feel so helpless. All you can do is hang in there and keep doing what you're doing...school and work. COngrats on the new job Zuli!!! You guys are off to a great start. :)

I haven't talked to MOm since my last post. I'm going to call her this weekend, hopefully she got all my papers I sent her. I hope that even if she doesn't want to stay here permanently, she'll want to at least want to come 2 visit.

Well, off to bed. TGIF tomorrow....I'm tired. Nite nite.
