I just finished watching 20/20 interview with Terri Irwin. I am an emotional person. I know. But it really broke my heart.

I remember years ago, watching one of his shows and laughing at his over enthusiasm for wild life. I watched his tribute online and watched this interview and I am amazed at how much he has done and how unique this man really was. Terri, his wife, said that he was fun and he didn't sweat the small stuff. It is so hard to live life like that. It's ashame that his life was cut so short. However I have a feeling that Terri and their two children will continue his legacy. (Sniff Sniff) I need to go blow my nose...

I've just finished a busy weekend. The bridesmaids threw a very successful bridal shower for YC. We put a lot of planning in to it and we all came together to make this event special. I truly believed we did it.

After the shower, we took YC into the city for a body massage, dinner and drinks. It was a lot of fun and I think i may have lost all the calories I ate that day from laughing so much. YC's maid of honor had so many embarassing and funny stories about YC.

We went to the Ritz lounge for some drinks and we made YC do some funny things. One was to request a free drink from our waiter. She managed to get us a free dessert. It was so delicious. Then we made her go up to the people at the bar and tell them she's getting married. She ended up having a 5 minute conversation with one guy. Then we made her walk around the lobby slowly. I wanted her to do a runway walk around the lobby but she refused. She was a good sport though and she provided us bridesmaids with some entertainment. It was a fun weekend.

House of Vomit and Diarrhea

The last week has been tough. Everyone except for Hubs have been vomiting or having diarrhea. My little brother Andy stayed home from school with both vomiting and diarrhea. J had horrible diarrhea that oozed out of her diapers for the last 6 days. It's so disgusting.

Also, E threw up on Hubs while he was sleeping. Then all day I'd have her throw up in my silver mix bowl. SHe's so cute. SHe'll be running around and she'll throw up in the bowl and bring it to me to clean. It's better than cleaning it off the floor or her clothes.

** This is a post that I had saved and never finished. I just finished it.

Last Monday, E had her first day of nursery school. I was so nervous for her. I was anticipating a crying, clingy, and screaming child. I even warned the teacher on Meet the Teacher Day. She may have to pry my little girl away from me.

So as I got her ready for the day. She seemed extremely excited. We drove to the school and on our way in, she notices the brand new playground. She was so excited. We went up the stairs and I told E that she'll have fun and I'll be back. She goes, "Okay, mommy, Bye!" and walks right into the classroom. I was stunned. My little girl is ready for school. I waited outside the door and did not hear her cry. Wow, she's really ready for school.

I was in tears. I couldn't believe how independent she has gotten. I didn't have to experience a crying child and I didn't have to force her to stay. She really wanted to be there.

When I picked her up, she was so happy. She seemed different like she grew up in those 2 1/2 hours. I was amazed. I only signed her up for 2 days a week and she could go for more days but, I think I need to do it in baby steps. I didn't realize that it was going to be harder for me to let her go. It seems like yesterday, I gave birth to my first born. Time goes by so quickly.

First Post

I have found my way back to blogger. I have deleted my previous blog due to an unfortunate situation. I have vented too openly on my blog and you think the blogosphere is so big, it turned out not to be. I want my blog to be a happy place. I want a place that I can document my life as a mother, wife, sister, friend and a Christian woman. I don't want any ugly swirls on my blog. I know my life will not be all rainbows but how I deal with the storm will determine my fate. I want to be a woman of excellence... I will try... I know I will fail... but as long as I look to Him, it'll all be good.

So that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ...
