2013 Week #3

The 3rd week of 2013 has been an interesting one! 

Anyone one my FB saw the little "blow up" between me and my dad.  Yea... that last comment he made on that comment thread... was the last I have heard from him.  That tells me alot!  It isnt like he doesnt have my number.  Oh well.  I almost took a few steps backward in my rejection/abandonment issues.  BUT... all of that therapy in my past flooded my mind... and I am moving forward.

I have way too much going on in my life to let it affect me.

Brittany is adjusting to PT and not going to gymnastics.  It is crazy to watch her learn to use muscles she never used before!

Courtney had a neuro-psych appt on Friday.  In typical Courtney fashion... she manipulated the person giving the testing... and I have to take her back tomorrow to finish.  I am NOT happy about that... especially with the snow coming AND the fact that I have TONS to do before my surgery on Wed!

I am making HUGE leaps forward in getting rid of ALL of our paper clutter!!  :-D  This makes me soooo super happy... and every day I feel like more and more of a weight is being lifted from me and our home!! 

The kids and Stacy are both liking that I make homemade snacks every week!  It is going over better than I thought it would!  I am always finding really cool snack recipes that fit our "diet" perfectly!
This weekend I am doubling up on all that I make... and half is going into the freezer for next week, since I dont know how long it will take me to get back on my feet after this surgery.  I am also stockpiling homemade bread in the freezer!

We are still doing GREAT with our budget... and have even been able to move some funds around to get some of our home projects more completed!  Again... I am super tickled about this! 

Stacy and I were able to spend some one on one time together this weekend.  It has really been a long time since we have been able to spend some time completely alone... just focusing on eachother!!  No kids... no projects or stuff that needed done.  Granted... we should have been doing something else... but we both needed the time for just eachother. 
We watched 2 great movies... we went for a nice hike... did some caching... it was soooooo nice!!! :-D

This week I took a huge step!!!
I enrolled in NYIP!!!  Yes, finally!  I have talked about it for months... and this past week I enrolled and paid the tuition... and I a super excited to get started!
I already received my first certificate from Penn Tech for the first class I took with them... I am close to finishing the 2nd class and getting my 2nd certificate!  :-)

So... 3 weeks into 2013... life is pretty damn good! 
Let's hope that week #4 is just as good!  Hoping and praying that the surgery goes well and recover is quick!
