It has been a while since my last post. The past week we have had a few things to write about. I do feel bad about not writing. I have been avoiding an update but won't anymore.

First, the boys celebrated their 3rd birthday. What an amazing journey it has been. My children have graduated from the "infant" clothing section and are officially in "toddler". My babies aren't babies anymore. That is the hardest thought. I of course should know it - but still!!!

• We decided to redecorate the boys' bedroom to something that is closer to their age. Wow, that was an experience! We painted the walls crazy kid colors. The ceiling is bright yellow. Followed by one wall of blue, purple, red & green.
  

• For the party we wanted every one to put their personal touch on it and paint something on their wall. That had mixed results. Repainting is needed in areas and we LOVE the personal touches given.

• People were very generous to the boys. They got a big tent that has been up in the living room for the past week. They also got a basketball hoop which they love. Lots of money for the bank - it may go towards their bedroom but haven't decided yet. There was only one gift that we needed to return because it was too small. Now we will be using the store credit towards things to help decorate their new room. It is much appreciated!

A couple days after the twins' birthday the twins & I met an old friend for breakfast. It was great! I met-up w/ her on myspace about a year ago. We went to Jr. High and high school together - though we didn't talk in high school. We were such great friends before. I was so happy to catch up w/ her. I have to admit that I did brag about her ;) She is so amazing. I am jealous! She just got her nursing license. She spent time rebuilding houses after Katrina. How cool is that?!?! I admire her a lot. She is such an amazingly genuine person. So positive. Ifound myself being very uncomfortable yet comfortable. Confusing, I know. I felt akward because she gave such wonderful & genuine compliments (they still will make me cry if I think too much about them). It is nice to hear that I'm a loving & patient mother (from someone besides Rob ;) Other than that I felt so comfortable talking to her. I even asked her to come back to the house to talk more. I don't ever like people coming to the house. Or usually talking. So it was really good. I can't wait to do it again! It would be awesome to have it become a regular thing. I think Rob appreciated us getting out of the house also. He got some extra sleep while we were gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~By the way... I know you're reading this Miss Tami & I had this part of my post written days ago... promise I wouldn't say something nice just to make you feel good! LOL ;) You know I'm honest to a fault so it's your turn for a compliment SUCKA!~~~~~~~~~~~


This past couple weeks I have had some medication changes on the physical & psychological sides. What a difference! Things have been better than they have been. So I have to learn my limitations so I dont hurt my self being too active. Yesterday I decided to take the twins on a walk to the library. We stayed there for a couple hours. They had a great time! I loved it! I'm hurting pretty bad today though... so small steps. But we're going in the right direction.
