The difference a month makes

I just read my last entry and wow, so much has improved. No...I didn't divorce my hubby. In fact he apologized and bought me my new van the very next day. It's beautiful aside from the "minor" scratch I got on it 2 weeks later, but that's another story. Things have been good between us this month. I got so sick last night and he was so there for me taking care of me all night long. I have forgiven his son and he has forgiven mine and it looks as if both have started to make a turn for the best as far as their futures. I will cross my fingers.

I am counting down the days til next Thursday. I get to get away for 3 1/2 days for a scrapbooking retreat with my best buddy. This time I'm going to take more time to enjoy all the stuff going on around me instead of stuffing myself into a corner.

I talked to my Dad a couple days ago. His voice has been affected by the chemo. He starts his 4th chemo this Thursday then they will scan to see if they have made any progress. The cancer was in his lung, liver and lower back.

My "baby" boy called me today. Once again he has gotten straight "A"s-gotta love this kid. He so has his stuff together. We are taking him to Florida with us this June-that will be a blast. Don is taking him fly fishing and I hope he enjoys it. I want to try to talk him into applying to some Ohio colleges next year as he wants to go all the way to Oregon. Part of me is jealous, its a beautiful part of the country.

The girls are doing awesome and Mackenzie is singing 4 lines in the March program for school in a couple weeks. Ryleigh's eye is still the same and I am still bad about patching-Bad mommy!

Lastly i am on a new diet-Yuck. I have to lose this extra weight before Sept 1st. We have a wedding to attend in Montana and i don't want to be mistaken for a dairy cow!!!
