Updates & Shout Outs

So the update since my last post is ... the momentum is G-O-N-E. It has left the building!

I am thinking constantly about my goal that I set for my business, and that is about all that I am doing ... thinking about it. I keep telling myself I need to work it, if I am going to make it happen ... I just can't seem to get to working on it though.

The party is coming together, sort of. It is in less than 2 weeks. I am tracking down rsvp's since they have become optional apparently. The hubby is being a huge help with tracking down and pricing paper goods and supplies, but we have to actually buy most of it this weekend still. And then we have some cooking to do ... which reminds I have to clean out the fridge to make room for it all. Thankfully we are getting help with most of the food from our parents and siblings.

As for my ailments and testing ... I had a wonderful and awesome colonoscopy last Monday (I know you wanted to know that!), which revealed nothing serious - Woo Hoo! I have IBS and Celiac's Disease which I have known for a long time now, and my doctor gave me an earful about how I NEED to be following the Gluten Free diet, so I am now giving it another try. I hated it before and am hoping I will do better this time - especially with help from a far-flung friend who is going Gluten Free for herself and her family as well.
I am still not feeling 100% yet, so another trip to the doctor ... and we are thinking kidney stones for the win! Ultrasound scheduled for Valentine's evening to check things out ... sounds like a fun time, huh?
I can't wait to feel better, and stop letting my body get the best of me. I need to feel better!

Okay enough with my woe-is-me-pity-party now.

My spirits may be down, but I have a lot to be thankful for right now ...
my wonderful hubby, who I am grateful for EVERY day - I couldn't do what I do without him! / my awesome little girls / family - the steps, inlaws, biologicals, and chosen ones (the internet ones and the real ones - you all know who you are!).
I am thankful that I have been given the opportunity to be home every day with my little girls and see them grow up and help them become little women. I may struggle some days, but I know this is all for them!
I am thankful that I will be celebrating my 5 year wedding anniversary with the man of my dreams this year. It is crazy how we came to be, but it was just meant to be!
I am thankful for all of the girlfriends that have come in to my life due to this crazy bond of motherhood. I have girlfriends I have never met, but feel I have known for my whole life already. Girlfriends from highschool who I lost and found again. And girlfriends who I will share a lifelong bond with as our little ones grow up together ... and we will still be having mommy playdates long after our kids are in school. I love you all for the strength you have given me,a nd wouldn't trade a single one of you for the world.

So there you have it ... down-in-the-dumps all the way to peace-love-and-happiness all in one post!
