Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Here I am.....49 years old! What in the world happened? LOL!!! It is hard to believe. I had a pretty nice day tho. Me and the boys went up to my folks for a cookout and cake and ice cream. My brother and his family and my stepsister and her husband came. Miss Emily, my 7 year old niece, made me a beautiful birthday card. And the boys got me a new DVD, "1408". It is supposed to be very scary....we will probably watch it next weekend.

Also new....we got a new kitten yesterday. She is adorable, silvery grey, with grey green eyes. She is 8 weeks old and her name is Lucy. Dylan is in love. He and Logan both have wanted a pet forever, and everyone finally agreed it was a good idea. Dylan is having a little bit of trouble staying settled down, and I think a cat might help. I have seen a more tender side of him since yesterday.

Another good note....I just found out that my final in Human Disease class is going to be open book. How great is that! It's a week from Wednesday, so I should be able to study enough to do pretty well on it. More later.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

What happens to the time?

Wow! It is January 20, 2008, and my babies are 14 years old today! It seems like just yesterday they were teeny tiny babies. We are having a small get together with family for cake and ice cream later today. I spent all of yesterday in the bed with a headache. A migraine I guess, since light and sound made it worse, and I was a bit nauseated with movement. My dad came by with some sort of pain pills and McDonald's for all of us (he said I should eat, take the pill, and lie down, as I would be asleep quickly). He was right. I slept for about 4 hours, and was some better when I woke. I guess the headache was from being tired. It is taking awhile for me to adjust to being up and out of the house 3 evenings a week. And on the 2 latest nights, I have a hard time just going to bed when I get home. So I end up awake will past midnight. I guess I will get used to it tho. I have to.

My ex called last night to tell me his daughter was there and wanted to come by to see me and the boys. It has been a long time since I have seen her. She lived with us for about 4 years, from 12 to 16, when she ran off pregnant. She is now all grown up, 31 years old, egads! Her oldest daughter will be 13 in April, and lives with her grandmother. Lisa has a new baby girl, Elizabeth, who is 8 months old. It was great to see her and her new man Matt. I am glad her life is becoming more stable.

Guess this is it for now....I need to straighten up a bit for the birthday, and go to the store.
