Another Busy Weekend...

The kids and I had a good weekend. Fortunately, I kept things pretty busy so that I didn't have to think too much. On Friday night, the kids and I met Kim one of her sons for pizza at Mojo's. It was fun to let the kids eat pizza and run around the restaurant while we had a drinks and discussed "life". It is always nice to hang out with them.

Saturday morning, I took the kids to a local church for an Easter egg hunt. This was the third year that we've gone there, and the kids always have a really good time. It is so neat to see D enjoy his first Easter egg hunt!! All year he has experienced many "first"-- his first Halloween, his first Thanksgiving, his first real Christmas, etc.... Sometimes I can't believe that he has only been here for 10 months!! He seems like he has always been part of the family. Yet this is his first year... amazing. He has really come a long way. I still look at these 3 children sometimes and am amazed that they are really mine. It is a big responsibility, but it is also a huge blessing!

I often wish that I knew what the future held for me... So on Saturday afternoon, I visited my boss's psychic! Seriously I did. The owner of one of the hospitals where I work swears by this lady, so she arranged a free reading for me. It was interesting, but it seemed like the things she told me were really just common sense... She did tell me that my "soul mate" would be " more butch" than me and have blond hair. Weird. But hey, at least it is predicted that I will actually one day have a partner... even if she is "butch". :) Funny.

Theresa came to see the kids on Saturday. The kids were so excited to see her! She spent the night so I could go out with some friends. I met Annie and Rosanne for dinner- it was nice to get out with friends. Later we went to Bellisima to drink and get into trouble... I definitely drank too much, but it was pretty fun. I did realize that there is no way that I would want to do that every weekend!!! I don't know how people do it... I used to go out all of the time like that, and it didn't phase me. I am way too old for that now, or maybe I'm just way too tired. It was nice to come home and have another adult to talk to though. Theresa also helped me get some projects that I had been putting off done. The last few months, I have realized just how much of a help she has always been to me. I really do appreciate it.

Sunday, despite my major hangover, the kids and I went back to my friend Lissa's church. It was good to see people so full of faith and love. I do wish that I had some of that faith... Later in the afternoon we went to see "Monsters vs. Aliens" in 3D. A very good movie... the kids were glued to their seats.

Today Big A and D hung out with me while I did some house calls and some house work... not too much going on. Back to the day to day monotony of life. Then again, there is something to be said for monotony sometimes....

Big A Searches Far...

The Search Was Sometimes Frustrating...
