So I have been out of touch for a few weeks. Last week was spent in Florida with my 4year old as my maternal Grandmother passed away Monday evening. We drove down Tuesday and spent the remainder of the week with various family members. Somehow the drive down didn't seem as long as the drive back. Maybe it was because I had caught my son's cough/congestion and it was basically rush hour when we reached the NOVA/DC area. I was also tired from not sleeping well and was very agravated with the traffic. I was able to convince DH to meet us with the other kids and have dinner. This helped ALOT! I was able to get out and move around a little and refuel for the remainder of the drive home.
I am really becoming anxious for our move back down to Florida. So many things are up in the air and I would really like for them to be concrete at this point. Things like housing and school for the kids. I want to go ahead and register them but don't know which school yet since this will depend on where we live. I just don't like that I will only have a small window to get these things done in as we leave here the 2nd week of July and the schools start in mid-August there. I am sure that it will all work out though in the end.
On a more positive note I was able to attend mass at our old church and was so amazed at how at home I feel there. There is nothing better than the feeling I felt just walking into that church let alone actually receiving a message. I truly miss my church family there.

I haven't posted anything new in a while. Not much has been going on.
We had a sick child over the weekend. I picked her up from school Thurs and took her to the Dr. only to find out it was Strept throat. Got her started on her ABX and back to school today with her. One of her brothers was complaining of nausea Friday night before bed so I was planning to take him to the Dr. today but he never complained any after that. His throat was swollen as everyone else's was but no fever or vomiting so off to school he went today. We tried to keep him isolated over the weekend just to be sure.
Went shopping for some shorts for DH and I on Sunday and both of us ended up buying a size smaller than we normally do. SOOO exciting! I think I have lost more inches than lbs because it's not showing on the scale yet but I notice little things here and there.
Bought "The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook" on our venture to the mall this weekend. Can't wait to start with that this week. I am going to mix in some of my own recipes as I did some very frugal shopping and now have lots of stuff in the freezer to use up. I just hope that the family will be happy with the changes to the meals. DH says he will cook whatever I fix but we will see since it will contain lots of veggies that he doesn't care for.
Class 2 of Wilton Course 2 tomorrow night. I love learning how to make pretty things and actually being somewhat good at it. I hope to use my skills in the near future. Maybe for the twin's birthday cake.

Easter
This year we were away from all of our family for Easter. It was kind of relaxing not having to worry about who's house we were going to first and who we would be upsetting by not being there at a specific time. It was a little boring for me though. We went to church Sunday morning and then did NOTHING for the rest of the day. DH and the kids went down and played tennis for a little while and then they played XBOX for the rest of the day. Nothing really exciting there. The kids got to hunt eggs on Saturday here at the apartment complex. They had fun with their friends and got candy and prizes.
My problem child was good this past week and was able to get his 10 stickers and get his prize. He immediately wanted to take a bath and play with it. He worked hard for it. I am very proud of him. Now if he could just keep it up.
We had to do some shopping on saturday much to the dismay of DH. Everyone needs shorts! It's going to be in the 80's this week, Finally! Everyone got shorts except for me which is typical. It's frustrating for me because I am in between sizes and everything in my size is not suited for my age, it's all older. Oh well, looks like i will be rolling up the legs of my jeans for a while.
