Long time

It's been a long few months around here. And just when things start to settle down, Kevin starts a new term and my father in law wants to visit. Thankfully, Kevin told him not right now. We seem to have been non-stop since October. It's nice to not have anything going on right now.

October we had my brother's wedding so family was up for that. It was nice. Feelings were hurt. We had decided that because of how much it was going to cost us to be in it, it would be better if just Lilith was in it. Well, that upset Shawn. And he has yet to express his feelings to me. So, mom helped us out and we were a part of the wedding. (We were saving up for our Disney World trip and insurance.)

November we had our trip to Disney World finally. We spent 10 days there and had a lot of fun. We do want to go back, but not as offten as we originally thought and for not as long. For us, we like Disneyland a lot more. Maybe it's just what we grew up with. Lilith got her first official haircut there, too. And yes, I cried. When we got back, 2 of my aunts came up for my mom's 50th birthday. They were here for a week and had Thanksgiving with us. Grandma has handed it over to Kevin since he does such a good job. We also celebrated our 8th anniversary that week.

December, of course, was Christmas. We had a bit of an accident...the tree fell down into our glass coffee table. I always put the breakable ornaments up at the top, so we had about 6 break. Along with the top of the coffee table. Kevin got home just as I was getting kiddo out of time out for not listenning (she was told not to hang anymore ornaments because the tree kept leaning and that's when it fell). Some of them were ones that were just gotten. Mainly the one I just got from Disney World. Our neighbor's parents work there and tried to get me a new one, but they've been sold out of them. She's still keeping her eyes open and will buy one if she finds it. Kevin's nana came up right after Christmas...on the day we got a bunch of unexpected snow. They didn't get home until 10pm and her flight got in at 6. It's about a 45 minute drive.

January, we had Lilith's birthday party early so that nana could be there. Her birthday is on the 23rd, but the party was on the 9th. It turned out to be a good thing because I ended up in the hospital that Wednesday. The next Saturday, the 16th, I had an appendectomy. Now I have a 4" scar and a 1/2" one from the drain. My aunt Terry came up before I was released from the hospital to help take care of kiddo and me. She left on February 13th. It's taken awhile to start feeling normal again. I think the weather had an effect on me, too. I truely do enjoy the warmth and sunshine. The days that it's gloomy, cold, and rainy I'm quieter and lazier. Things were bad enough that Kevin kept questioning if I was ok. I knew I was, but something was just off. There were a lot of times that I just wanted to cry, but didn't know why. Oxycodone does some odd things to you, I'll tell you that!

Last weekend was Shawn and Veronica's baby shower. I'll talk about it some other time. We are very glad it's over. I have some very strong and hurt feelings when it comes to that.

For now, I need to go and get some things done. I'm so close to openning my Etsy shop. I need to get a few more things done for it, though.
