Good Day...
Today was a day for tears for sure! I'm not sure what is in the air...but it seemed like every time I turned around, somebody was shedding a tear or two. And for some reason, it hit me too! Crazy. I'm sure there will be many more tears this Thursday - NOT because Miss Andie will turn 11, but because it will be Michelle's last day of working with us :o( She is going home to be a stay at home mom full time. I am so thankful for the time I had at home while Drew and Andie were little - I am very excited for Michelle, but she will be missed.
Let's see...what else? Got an A on my two tests tonight at school - yay! I positively cannot wait for this semester to be over. Now that sports will be picking up for both of the kids, we will be busy all over again! Not that we're not busy now, but it's just going to pick up again. I'm glad - I love watching them with their friends having fun. Oh - and Physical Therapy. Had that today too. Got some fun bright pink tape on my shoulder - just for you Ashley! The place I go to in Spring Lake is a great place if you need PT. Everybody there is very nice and it seems to be helping...just need to wait and see what the good ol' doc has to say in a few weeks.
We are enjoying this nicer weather very much!! Kris and I have been walking again and it feels great to get back out there! I just hope it doesn't snow Monday like they're calling for right now. Let's keep our fingers crossed :o)

Creative
I'm feeling rather creative tonight, so I decided to give the blog an attempt to have it show. Hope it makes me look good! Happy St. Patty's Day first of all...
Went to Target tonight with my favorite older sister that I don't get to talk to or see very often these days. We have an exciting baby shower coming up this Saturday and needed gifts, so off we went! Mashawn is due within the next month with her baby girl and we are soooooo excited for her, Brian and Aiden! I can't wait to see this darling little girl (and maybe babysit sometime...??) I ended up with some grocery items I didn't think I needed when I left the house, but realized I couldn't live without once I got there. Has that ever happened to you? Also got a start on Easter candy, which I hadn't planned on opening until, well, Easter, but my hubby had other plans for it. Right about this time, I am bumming that I gave up chocolate for Lent. My hips will eventually thank me for it, but right now it's tough! Gave up potato chips too. Ouch! If you don't hang around the Bolles' very often, you may not realize that Frito Lays Potato Chips are a favorite in this house. Not just by me. I think Mike loves them more than I do. In fact, I forgot about this whole Lent thing the other day when I was at the store and bought a bag. On the way home, I remembered that I gave them up for Lent, but then myself said to myself that I wouldn't be able to eat them, but the rest of the family would, so it was all going to work out in the end. Then I talked with MB and remembered [as I was telling him I bought them] that he gave them up too! So we sat at the table for dinner watching D & A eat them. Tough!
So I mentioned that I haven't spent much time with my sister, and I need to explain a bit. I've been working more hours this winter/spring, taking a class at school, and going to Physical Therapy twice a week. Not to mention helping Drew and Andie with whatever homework they have going on and all the usual housework stuff mom's do. So.....some days I'm not sure what's going on...am I coming or going?? Now with this precious lost hour of sleep...I am also excited about the lost hour because that means that the nice weather is finally on its way!!!!! yay :o)
Kris and I have started walking again this week. Wow does it feel GREAT to be back out there walking!! It's been a long winter. I'm just sayin' Apparently we aren't the only ones with this opinion because we've seen many friendly neighbors out and about too - it's nice to see :o)
We celebrated Miss Andie's birthday with family this afternoon (I'm continuing this on Sunday...). She will be 11 on Thursday and I also need to shout out a Happy Birthday to my Grampa Anderson too on Thursday. I miss him so much! She is happily playing with her new iPod Touch right now...which makes Drew oh-so-very-happy because now he doesn't have to constantly hear, "Drew, can I play a game on it please?" She also got a Ripstik Scooter. We're sure to end up in the ER with that thing! But it also came with pads for her wrists, elbows and knees. I wonder if they keep bones from breaking? Hmmmm... Oh and she got [another] Webkinz from Drew. She really needed another one. She also got a really cute outfit from Mimi and Papa, and Aunt Shani will be taking her to Barnes & Noble for their yearly ritual of book shopping. She's really into the Percy Jackson series and she doesn't have the last one yet, so she's looking very forward to spending some time w/Aunt Shani!!
I'm having a battle with importing the pictures from my camera to my computer...so I'm just going to go ahead and post this while I continue to work on this techy stuff. I'm so not the techy type!
