I hate when being responsible stops you from booking a vacation stat. Instead it looks like we will be paying off a bill. I guess the only great thing is we will only have one debt left plus our house. I HATE debt! Ricky and I really wanted to go on a short vacation again this year though... oh well.
We've got a very busy week next week. Brody has his famous appointment with GI and his MRI. I'm looking forward to all of the tests and appointments to stop but I hope we can get some much needed answers.
Tomorrow morning we are going to Old McDonald Farm. Brody's DARS is hosting it. It will be the first event we've gone to with other children that are blind and legally blind. They also invited the girls which I think is very nice. The kids went to the farm last fall for a birthday party and loved it. I hope the weather warms up quickly tomorrow. Luckily Ricky will be able to go with us too so we are having a FREE family day! Couldn't be more perfect!!
The kids' godmother and my best friend is such a wonderful mom (the reason she is godmother). She has three kids, one boy and two girls. Her oldest is graduating in a couple weeks and has been very active in school. They've been so busy with prom, banquets, college acceptance, college dance tryouts, etc. and on top of that her youngest is a cheerleader and had tryouts this week (she made it!!). Luckily her son doesn't try out for football until the summer. I'm so proud of her kiddos and lucky to have such a wonderful friend and "Aunt" in the trips' lives. Anyway, she is so busy all of the time and tells me this will be me before I know it. I guess this means that Ricky and I won't rest for another 15+ years :) but I wouldn't trade a second of this life for anything. I look forward to cheerleading, dance, soccer or whatever the kids want to participate in.
Cute Alert: Ricky picked up the kids from school on Thursday. We decided to get them out a little early because we were having bad weather. Anyway, the kids decorated a pot and planted a flower in it. When Madi saw Ricky she showed him what she made and said, "I plant with Mommy". I work in the flower beds often and she always wants to help weed it. She puts on my extra pair of gloves and helps. It warmed my heart that she thought of that while she was planting her flower at school. These moments teach me so much. It's not about things it's about time. I hope Ricky and I always remain focused on that. Our time is so important but more than time it's the quality time. I think I'm going to stop in and get a little pack of flowers so we can all plant some this weekend.
This life might not be easy but beautiful it is!
