Hello

Not much going on lately. I had a friend come over last week who helped me organize some of Elena's room. It looks much better, still need to work on her closet and tossing some stuff though. Next will be Jackson's room. After we were done, we got some pizza and just chatted for a few hours, it was lots of fun.

Friday I went to a friend's house for game night. Turned out to be fun, but I had a rough night, all the stress of work, John leaving this week and the news of my Aunt turned out to be a little more than I could handle. Oh well, we all have those kind of days, and I thank God for my dear friends who can forgive and forget.

I'm going to my Aunt's funeral this week, she's on my Dad's side of the family and while I wish I had been better about keeping in touch, it still stung more than I thought it would.

John's going to meet his Dad for a boys only hiking trip, I know Jackson will have a blast. They'll be coming later this week, and his Dad will be staying with us for the rest of the week. I'm so glad he can make it, the kids adore him and vice versa. I'm so thankful that he makes such an effort to be involved.

Grrr, I had a long post typed out and tried to publish and lost the whole thing. So here's a quick synopsis. Work's busy, Elena's getting over a cold, Jackson's doing really well in speech class, I dyed my hair black and like it. Still have the lizard, wish we didn't. Disney's a no go for now, wish we were going, but my Mom can't make it yet. Spring Break is coming up and hopefully to make up for the Disney disapointment, DIL is coming to town and the guys will go to LBL. Us girls will hang here and do girlie things.

Went to the movies with a friend last night. We saw Dear John, and while it was pretty good, the ending left a little to be desired. We still had a great time though. I need to try to start making more time for friends, especially those that I don't see often.

This weekend, hopefully the weather will stay good and we can play outside, I have cleaning to do, playing on my new cricut ( which I'm hoping to learn how to be a little more crafty) and shopping.
