Well things are turning around... knock on wood! we had a good day! I woke up w/ a renewed sense of energy and joy. I think it was the temperature! it felt like spring! wow! at least after -9!! Rich is doing better. He's anxious to get back to work somehow! so we're talking about going back Monday if I drive him? IF his company lets us do that!?

we had a surprise meal show up at our house tonight!! people are so kind!! it was delicious! and I have lots of extra to freeze! Also Valerie dropped off the most amazing piece of cheesecake tonight!! I can still taste it!! ummmmmmmmmm!!!!! I HAVE to get that recipe! and make it weekly!!

the kids were excited to get outside since it was one of the first days of good packing snow. We made this little guy/gal!! fairly fast! isn't he/she cute?!!! :) the raisins are slowly falling off and sinking further down his face!

I had some rather upsetting news today that I need to go through w/ a colonoscopy due to some bleeding I've had that I think is all related to constipation due to my lack of drinking! I always have a hard time drinking lots b/c it makes me feel too full. I hardly ever get REAL thirsty. Anyways... I'm definitly NOT looking foward to this! Nothing seems to be the same after having kids anyways! :( another bill.... another doctor appointment.. we have had a BUSY January! Happy birthday to me huh?!!? My birthday is the 30th.. and my appt is the 4th of Feb. :(

Abby and I are off to gymnastics tomorrow! I can't wait!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE her new class! and her coach!
