Can’t …. believe…. “A”…. is… 14!!!!!!
It seems like only yesterday, he was a young little kid running around pretending he was a video game. Here he is now at 14 playing video games. Poor kid, I made him blow out the candles, and no there weren’t 14 candles, but he wouldn’t let me put the votives on the cake to make up for it. But, I did make him a home made double chocolate (or Choc-0-latté as “J” would say) cake.
A great weekend was had by all, “A” got some great gifts and some new clothes and he even made me proud by getting a golf shirt. I almost cried in the store when he asked for one in addition to all the t-shirts he was picking out. I said of course, but you will have to get some proper shorts to go with it, you can’t wear a golf shirt with basketball shorts.
We love you “A” and hope you had a great day!!!
Ahh, and you thought Hubby and I had a date. Nope not so. I had a date night with a bunch of girlfriends. And it was great!! We all met because of our kids and now we go out sometimes without them. How great is that?
I was able to be part of a suprise, which I love, one of our friends drove all the way from the North to see everyone. It is really fun to watch people say hi to one another then all of a sudden realize that someone that shouldn’t be there is there.
Great food was had, great wine was had, and best of all the conversation was fabulous. Nothing beats a night out with girlfriends to recharge your batteries, get you going for your next adventure, make it through Friday.
Thank you to all the ladies that made it out. Thank you for staying up way past your bedtime. I hope all of you got to sleep in way later than I did. And sadly enough, I brought my camera and forgot to take photos. Oooh yes, and thank you to the little man that joined the group, you were a charm and let your Mom visit with everyone so nicely.
Happy Friday! See you all again, very soon.
We had our follow up from our disaterous experiment today. I have to admit that this is the first time, I left not feeling like a bag of dirt.
First of all my Doctor made the mistake of telling my that my cycle should not have been cancelled. That alone almost sent me over the edge! He explained that we could have gone one more day at least and he wasn’t sure why the Doctor on duty that day actually cancelled. I did explain that I tried to get in touch with him to make sure that he in fact knew exactly what was going on, unfortunately he was out of town.
Hubby spoke up with me to let them know that this was our only chance due to lack of current coverage on the meds. And shock of all shockers!!! He offered to cover the meds if we would like to try it again! I was a tad bit hesitant as the shock of the medication is still with me as are 6 of the 10lbs I gained. The depression is gone, but the memories of the exhaustion are not. However, Hubby, who has to deal with all the side effects was right there wanting me to go ahead and do it! The catch is we have to start up again next week or wait until July. Our clinic is moving and will not be available for a while and may be backed up a bit when they open.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but I think we will be going for it!!!
