Well, Valentine's Day has come and gone...thank goodness it is over though I have a funny story that goes along with it! Valentine's Day was Saturday and I had worked Friday night and was sleeping on Saturday, when the kids woke me up and said that someone was at the door. (cory was working) Anyway it was our local florist with what appeared to be a dozen red roses, WOW I thought, Cory actually got me flowers... hmmmm... well the florist got to the door and said, "Brooklyn" when I answered... "nope, not me" so I went and got Brooklyn and she accepted the flowers from her boyfriend! Her 13 year-old boyfriend!!! So my soon-to-be 13 year old got a dozen roses and her 33 year-old, married for 13 years with 4 kids, mother DID NOT! Well, at least one of us did right?! I told Cory about it when he got home and he says to me, "you told me years ago not to get you flowers because they just die to get you something else that will last longer!" True, BUT when the florist is walking to the door with a dozen red roses that you assume are for you, you forget what you said years ago!!! lol He then asked Brooklyn if he could buy a couple from her...lol! We did go out to dinner on Sunday and then he bought me new sheets for our bed....something that will last longer!!! lol!
She too had a party at the Bowling Alley in Virden. She got to invite 5 friends, though I wasn't sure if that was going to happen because when I told her that she could invite 5 people she looked at me and said "let me think, I don't know if I like 5 people"! LOL...she did end up coming up with 5 people and then even asked for 2 more!!
I am married to Cory, going on 13 years....can ya believe that? I have four wonderful children (most of the time anyway...) Brooklyn is 13 and a social butterfly. She is in 7th grade and is on the middle school cheerleading squad! Yea! Griffin just turned 10 and plays every sport that he can. And he is great at each one! Candon is 7 and broke his arm last summer,jumping from the slide across the street and then falling off Aunt Beth's hammock, our first broken bone. He handled it like a trooper, it didn't slow him down at all! Taylyn Grace is 6 and is in kindergarten this year. And thinks that she is the teacher!!! She loves school but is ready for summer so she can wear comfy clothes everyday!
I recently graduated from nursing school and am nursing at Memorial Hospital and love it! I work the night shift 7pm to 7am and really like those hours. Though I am not looking forward to the kids being out of school because there goes my sleep! Oh well, only 3 nights a week, surely I will make it!
