Where've I been?

Why, enjoying my nice, warm house!  :)

I know, I've been slacking on the blog, but things are a little crazy around here.  We spent last weekend traveling around, seeing people.  Saturday was a day in RI to see our good friends near Newport.  The boys hadn't met them and we hadn't seen them in about five years, so it was great to catch up.  We took in downtown Newport, then saw the mansions on the way back.  Of course, the boys weren't too into that- they were more concerned about their Happy Meals.  But whatever, they're kids!

Sunday, we took the ferry to LI again to see my fam.  They were all disappointed last time when the boys were too sick to come, so I arranged to see them again.  Besides, LB really wanted a ride on the ferry.  JC wasn't too thrilled about it and clung to me the whole time, but LB was loving how the boat pitched around in the rough weather!  Luckily, they behaved so well at the restaurant, and everyone finally got to meet JC. My sister even traveled in from NYC to see the boys again... they really, really, really love her.  JC crawled under the table and chairs to get to her.  :)

Anyway, so it's been busy around here.  I'm still sick.  My minor cold, which everyone else seemed to get over, turned into a nasty sinus infection, which then turned into an ear infection.  Even though I'm on antibiotics, my face and jaw and ear are throbbing and in so much pain.  When I finally went to the doc on Monday, I was in tears.  LB said to the doc, "My mommy's ear hurts, so you need to give her medicine to make her feel better."  So sweet, I could've squeezed him!  They were also very well-behaved in the clinic, so I treated them to those heart-shaped donuts at Dunks.  Wow, they were really into those... I may have created a donut monster in LB, ha.

There has been another thing we're dealing with, but it's too early to talk about it yet (no, no babies or anything... please dear God, no babies ever again...).  I just don't feel comfortable since I haven't exactly come to terms with it yet.  But no worries, we're all doing just fine.

Oh yes, before I forget, Valentine's Day... it was great.  Hubby and I decided to not buy each other anything, although I did get him chocolate-covered cherries (which he loves), and he bought me flowers.  The flowers may have been a way to sweeten me up, though, because he also brought home news that he's trading in his F150 for an F250. *sigh*  Men and their vehicles.....  He also did all the cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the boys, which was the best gift!  Very much appreciated!

So, sorry I've been missing, but I'm back... kinda.  Lots to do before the move.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go blow green shit out of my nose for the millionth time.  Healthy thoughts, healthy thoughts!!
