We had the nicest weekend ever.

Some friends of ours are in town. They are currently residing in Corsica. So cool! They are here visiting, and it was SOOOOO NICE to get to see them, and their new little baby.

There was a baby shower for little baby Ayva on Saturday, and then on Sunday we went for dinner with them and their family, and had an amazing turkey dinner. It was so delicious, and the experience was made even better by the fact that I didn’t have to cook dinner or clean up that night.

It was so nice to catch up with them.

As a general rule, I don’t like to think to much about how I miss someone when they are not around. I don’t like to be sad or lonely, so as long as I just live in the moment, I seem to do okay. But, when you haven’t seen friends for a while, and then you spend a weekend with them, it’s kinda hard to ignore the fact that you have missed them, and that they are amazing people, and that you’ll miss them when they are gone. Hopefully, I can stuff all that emotional crap back down into the vault, and not have to deal with any time soon.

Although, I do realize that’s not going to happen, or at least it’s not going to go very well! We have another set of friends that are moving to freakin’ California. Great! Oh well, it’s nice to have all these places to go and visit when Jon strikes it rich, and we have more money than brains and can just flit around at whim. Until then, I’ll just stay at home, and miss everyone terribly.

So, moving on…….I’ve been a bit depressed about my house recently. It’s messy! I think I’ve mentioned that. In fact, these friends that are moving to California have pretty much only ever seen it when it was messy. That sucks. I’m actually a pretty neat person. Things have been sliding since before Christmas…well, maybe even before then. Maybe since the fall.

I remember going to see a new doctor, and talking to her about getting pregnant, and her telling me that I should just take a break from it all. I was so mad. This has been such an incredible journey. Such an incredibly hard journey! I wish it was over already, but NOPE! We’re still travelling this road. I think I felt so discouraged that I didn’t have someone supporting me. It was hard to be excited about much. I only wish that I had put in more effort into my house back then. ‘Cause the amount of energy that I had then compared to now – HUGE difference. BUT………………Jon helped me a bit this weekend.

My house is looking tidier than it has in a long time, and I think, I hope…..I believe that moving into the 2nd trimester will bring a bit more pep and life back into my life. The house is pretty much tidy with the exception of Jeremy’s room, and Geli’s room. Xan’s room is just okay. Not tidy, but not messy, so I’m just going to leave it for right now.

The main areas of the house are tidy and everything is put away. So today my goals are to:

• Wash the kitchen floor
• Dust in the TV Room and Living room
• Clean the bathrooms (4th week in a row – YAH ME!)
• Plan the week’s menu & shopping list
• Hopefully clean J’s room (when he gets home from school)

Well, I’m gonna get started on my day. Hope you have a fabulous one!
