February 2006 Updates

:-)Things have been going ok lately. We're almost done with painting the rooms we started to paint. Amber and Sam's room is next, will also get carpeting and new decorations hung up. Can't wait till it's all done and I can get my new sectional sofa into the family room. It's been so long since I've seen a couch in there, I don't know if I can handle it! LOL
We went to breakfast this morning and then came home. Both of us were extremely lazy today. I must have taken about 5 naps! This medicine for the diabetes makes me way too tired. I can't do anything and just want to sleep. Must talk to the doctor about it Monday.
Samantha is now taking 10mg of Adderall. She is doing so much better with her mood control and is much more pleasant all the time. I feel like I have my Sammie Sunshine back again! Amber doesn't need medicine, but she is going through the pre-teen thing now. HELP! Christopher has improved in a lot of ways, except his mouth ....too much cursing and too much disrespect. If he could just get past being so obnoxious, he'd find we'd all get along much better. he has so much potential and I'd hate to see him
waste it on bad things.
Now for Sean. He got himself 2 DUI's recently and just went to court. Luckily, the state's office gave him a plea so the judge couldn't give him any jail time. He has fines to pay, community service, probation and some courses to complete.....not too bad. Laney is away at Basic Training for the Army. I have a feeling they will get married when she returns and then he'll be off to housing with her wherever she is located. Wow...my baby boy married! Unbelievable, whew! Hopefully, him moving out of this state
will give him more ambition to do better. he won't be around all his drinking buddies and he'll be able to focus on his life with Laney. I think it will be the best thing for him. I love him so much and hope life leadshim in the right direction so he can enjoy the very little time we all have here on this earth.

I've included some random pics with this entry.

Found out this week that I am Type2 diabetic. At least I don't have to take shots of insulin, but I do have to watch what I eat very carefully. Now I have some answers as to why I feel so crappy all the time and why I can't lose weight. I am on Metforming to help the sugar be absorbed into my system. Today was my first dose, so we'll see how things are a week from now.

House Painting

Louis came and painted the main walls in the family room yesterday. He will be back today to do the plant shelves and recoat the 2 accent walls. It looks so pretty. We went with different shades of blue. Can't wait to get the couch and rug in here!
The girls have a soccer game today and it's 31 degrees...oh so much fun! Tonight it will be in the 20's and all day tomorrow too. Too cold for this transplanted New Yorker! 

My car is all fixed now. Got a complete tune up and new suspension system. $1685.71 later, it runs awesome! Woo hoo!

Superbowl 40

:-)Had a Superbowl Party Sunday.....went really well. We were missing about 4 or 5 people due to the fact they were sick.....that sucks! Well, Seattle lost, but there was some controvery over 7 of the Steeler's pts and we don't believe he broke the plane on a touchdown. All's fair in war and love I guess!
