good morning. Just a quick stop before we head the hospittal. Thanks for all the well wishes. Have a happy new years eve.
Laura - Sorry I missed you this morning. I hope all goes well today with Beth. I'll be thinking of you all - please keep us posted!
So, I'm back. We headed to NJ the day after Christmas. Spent a few days at my sister's and saw the rest of my crazy family. We had a very nice time; came back late Mon. I was then convinced to have some friends over yesterday, which I originally was not in the mood for but am now glad I did. We had such a good time. I get stressed if I don't feel prepared, but these friends are so casual - we made it work.
The girls have now gone off with their dad and I have
FIVE glorious days to myself!!!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my girls but it has been a very hectic past two weeks and I'm looking forward to the break! I was invited over a friend's tonite for some snacks and hot-tubbing, but honestly, I'm not in the mood. It's snowing like crazy out right now, and while I know I won't drink and drive, I don't want to be out on the road with people that do. Right now, I'm in my velour sweatpants and Tink fleece sweatshirt and I'm mighty comfy. Don't think I'll be going anywhere.
Thought I'd share some pix from Christmas:
our tree, Christmas morning...........
At my sister's - the girls and I:
Lauren and my nephew:
Nephew smooching Amanda:
Some pix with the cousins:
So my nephew got the Elmo Live doll. OMG - he LOVED it! Soooo cute........
And, last but not least - look what Amanda and Lauren got me for xmas from the
Disney Store............
Now, I can enjoy my cup a' joe in my CUP OF JOE!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, Lauren bought this when she was out shopping with the ex. He joked with her that it was SHE that really wanted the mug; she told him, "No, trust me, Dad - it's MOM who
really would want this!" I've told Lauren she needs to keep my JB obsession hidden from her dad - don't want him thinking I'm a crazy, unfit mother!
