A new year

Wow. It's already the freakin' 14th! What happened?!

Well, the 13th was the anniversary of our first date...15 years ago. Yeah! So we had a banana split just like we did then. It was nice. The kids were all in bed and we were just hanging out. Finishing up laundry and watching the tube. We don't get much chance to do that lately. I am really making a conscious effort to put the negativity behind me.

Let me go back a bit. We talked to A about returning to college. Turns out the funds are just not there. She had to drop out. Hopefully, she will be able to make enough money working for a living to go back in the fall. She just needs to get her butt in gear. Well, we had to go to Richmond to drop her classes and gather her belongings from her dorm room. She had to withdraw from her contracts and all that. As things have been a bit shaky for the hubby and I, it was hard to tell him that we would be home late and he would be watching the babies (see previous posts for reasoning behind the anxiety). I haven't exactly been feeling like my self lately. I say that a lot. It's so true. Anyway, we came in late and I was really tired. I couldn't even have a normal conversation with R. I just started crying and acting like an idiot. But something good came out of it. We were finally able to talk a little. And the ice was broken. That was Friday night. We had friends over Saturday and had such a good time. Mema was in a great mood (helped by beer!). It was great! So Sunday we took down the decorations from Xmas and got the living room back in order. Did laundry and all the normal Sunday stuff. It was a good day. And the night...well, I don't even want to talk about it. It was amazing...right, honey? And yes, you are SO worth it.

I'm going to bask in this for a little while. I don't get to feel like this often. I'm not going to let my idiot employer ruin it for me...

Much love...
