The first day of Spring Break and the girls are fighting over a plastic bowl...Yikes, is that the way it will be the rest of the week? I made no plans for the next few days as my sister was going to visit but she changed her mind about coming. She is in an unhealthy relationship which is what I think is the real reason for her not visiting. So today and tomorrow I will be scrounging around for playdates and to top it off it's raining, yuck, so parks are out of the question.  This morning I started out the week by vacuuming, nice.  wish us luck with the rest of the week...

Lunch was great with my new friend. We were both so anxious for it that we each got there 10 minutes early and noticed that we parked next to one another, ha ha. The food was great and the conversation was better. We talked about our marriages, the past before kids, and the kids of course.  Here's to new friends and I can't go overboard or I will lose her too.

Last week I asked the mother of one of my daughter's classmates if she would like to have lunch this week. She said yes and how excited to have lunch.  I put myself out there and it's tomorrow. I am so excited.  I called her yesterday and she says she's been looking forward to it all week.  I hope we have more to say than just about the kids.  I don't know her that well.  Wish me luck tomorrow.  

and way too much!  I hate this cough. It is very tiring. My ribs hurt. I have made an appt for the doctor's tomorrow if it is not better. The girls are somewhat better and I hope to take them to school tomorrow. No, my life is not in despair just what Izzy said, it is very hard. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It is difficult wearing so many hats, entertainer, medic, cook, clown, dog walker, taxi, artist, etc.  I was just feeling a little down and I think this cough may have something to do with it. 

We got out today for the first time in 3 days. It was good. We went to the mall, my oldest who is usually the homebody was SOOO excited. We played then she said her stomach is growlling so it is time for lunch. We had lunch, then played with the mechanical cars, then had a cookie--why haven't I lost that weight?? During that cookie break, my oldest brought up the wedding thing again, why she wasn't invited to mine and my husband's wedding, where was she? Was she asleep? All I could say was we got married before she came along. Then she asked when she would be married, is she old enough already? She's only 4, no, she is not old enough maybe when she's 24. AAAgghhh--no more questions...and it's only just begun...
