Another Blah Day

It has already been an emotional and crazy year. . . From having to fix yet another tire on the van, to the ups and downs of being with someone 24/7. . . from the highs of laughter at something the kids said funny, to the sadness of missing them so much. . . who knew 2009 would begin like this?

For the most part things are looking up and up. Brian and I have both completed our perquisites for surgery, and after 3 stress tests (between the two of us) and numerous other testing, I think now we just have to wait to hear if the insurance company will cover us.

I'm missing my boogies. . . I have only had them twice since Christmas eve. Between their parents having off, and us needing off to go to the doctor, I'm not getting enough Brayden and Kristen time.

Oh and moving. . . moving isn't so bad, but I hate relying on other people. In case you didn't already know, Brian's whole family is in the trucking business. His dad and both brothers work for his uncle, who owns the company. . . Now while this does come in handy at moving time, it isn't all it's cracked up to be. My brother in law (who shall remain nameless) has refused to let us come up to the shop for boxes, saying he'll drop them by. Well it's been a week of promises, and even as of yesterday a promise to deliver them today. . . and he was a no show again. . . It's frustrating! I am ready to start packing things up, and while, yes I do have 19 days to pack, I like to do things at my pace, and slow and steady wins the race. So hopefully he'll get off his bum and bring me some boxes, because come Wednesday about 1:00 if I haven't seen him, I'm going to arrive at the shop, and I just might not be so nice about it!

I guess that's all I have to whine about tonight. Thanks for "listening"

New Year, New me!

A new year is a time for new beginnings. I anticipate a multitude of new things to come this year, beginning with a new address.

We're moving! This time though, we're moving closer to my family, but we're still only about 15 minutes from Brian's family as well. This will take place by the month's end.

February will bring a new decade to my life :*( The big 3-0 is looming very near!

Hopefully March will bring about surgery, and the beginnings of a whole new me!!!

So as you can see the first quarter of my new year is already looking like new is going to be a familiar phrase. . .
