My family and I are getting over the stomach flu.....YEAHHHHHHHh

I have been really busting to get the packing done for the move. It is tough going through 14 years of your life and getting rid of stuff that you haven't even seen in 10 years and didn't even remember that you still had it.  Closing day for the new house is Wednesday, February 27th. I am so excited. Finally a house of my dreams instead of this small house of horrors.

My eight year old has a 3.0 gpa at school!!!

I have made it into the gym 3 of the last 7 days - really 5 because the weekend days are off-gym days.  My goal is 3 days a week!

Rivers bite on his face was less red last night - pretty much normal color, just waiting for the swelling to go down!!  His face always swells when he gets a bite and it looks so sad.

This might not be a great deal fo some, but for me its so awsome!!. I have been going to college and yesterday I got my test results. I passed with a B, not an A but a B. For me that would probably be the first time in my life that I can remember getting a B. I now go on to the next level.

FANTASTIC News - you should be very proud of your accomplishment.  Thank you for sharing!!!!

I have a new niece Carly Elizabeth! 

I made my first two Passover dishes ever yesterday and it was so much fun!  It is easier for me to celebrate the Christian holidays because that is my background, but the Jewish holidays are different.  I wanted to be sure we did something for Passover this year. 

So while, we did not do the full sedar plate and walk through every prayer, answer the 4 questions and the full tradition of the Holiday - with a 2 year old that can be a little challenging.  After dinner, we did read the story and talk about it while eating. 

I did make a Matzo ball soup and a lamb dish from my Jewish holidays book, while Judson watched the little guy all morning.

My cooking schedule was perfect, all the food finished with 35 min. for me to get ready and us to pack up & go.

We drove to my in-laws, where it was MIL, FIL, and 1 SIL.  My MIL actually did some cooking (took a couple pix) and suggested we ate outside.

The day & meal was almost perfect (if FIL was not so sick, it would have been).  My DH had a lovely time with minimal frustration, everyone enjoyed the dishes I prepared and Rivers was in full charm mode.  We enjoyed the weather and time spent. 

I could tell it meant a lot to DH and his parents and considering everything we have been through and what we have in front of us, it was huge and worth every moment of my "day off".

Today my little boy turns 7 years old!! I feel so proud but old as well. Happy Birthday Isaac!!

My good news of the day!!! I have lost 5lbs in the past 4 days!! Im on a Dr controlled diet with medication. Has been helping alot! I have at least 15 more pounds to go!! I also just got home from the Gym. Spent an hour and 15 minutes there.
