SUCH A FUN WEEKEND....

Friday morning... I went to visit my primary care doctor... he's amazing, he listens to me.. .Thats different for me, he is the first doctor who has paid attention to my struggling back pain... he has tried me on different medications... They seem to be helping, but not as much as he would like.. So on friday I went in to talk about how I've been doing over the last month... I've been doing better, I feel like with the medication he has prescribed I can get up and get more accomplished before the medication wears off.. Once it wears off I'm back to square one for an hour or so... He changed my dosage on my medication, so I'm taking more of it... WOW it makes me feel weird... lightheaded and sweaty... He said to take it for a few weeks so my body will get used to it and then make a decision on whether to keep taking it or go back down to a smaller dose... I'll keep you posted... It takes the edge off my back pain but my head is in la la la land... I feel like a true ditz...

I am a lucky girl... I have amazing friends that I surround myself with. I take my friendships seriously, I care alot about the people in my life. I'm a pleaser, a giver. I will do anything in my power to help someone, I don't expect anything in returen except appreciation on their part.

I have this one friend inparticular, Monica. She is amazing, she is beautiful, fun loving, smart, strong, kind, a great mom and the most postive person I know. She has gone through hard times the past year yet she always picks herself up and keeps on going, I don't know where she finds all of her strength, but I can tell you it rubs off onto ME... I feel so positive when I'm around her, I have a better outlook on things after I have talked to her. She is a single mother of two amazing boys, she's a teacher and an IT specialist for the school. She runs all week long. I admire her so very much!! Anyways, she wanted to go out for drinks on Friday night and asked if I wanted to go with her. Ofcourse I do!!! she is so fun to hang out with. I invited my husband to go and a couple other people as well... We all decided to meet at my house and then carpool to the place where we were going... The only people to show up were Me, Monica and Jeremy. Small crowd... Oh well we were determined to make the best of it, we didn't want to sit home on a Friday night being losers... We went to a great place, Fiddlers Elbow in Surgarhouse, it was fun, a sports bar. It was full of dredlocked people PAHAHAHA. Our waiter was cute minus the dreds and beard. We had a wonderful time, we talked about EVERYTHING from childbirth to relationships. Monica asks the most amazing questions, she asked "tell me what you think your children will grow up to be?" It was funny to sit and discuss our thoughts and feelings about our kids. We talked about growing up in a small town. Monica asked Jeremy alot of questions about him, and Jeremy opened up to her in a way that I have never seen him do. It was truly heart warming. He has opened up to me ofcourse but not to anyone besides me. I know he likes Monica and truely trusts her enough to open up and spill is thoughts and feelings out on the table.. . It was such an intimate yet fun night.. We even stayed out past midnight... we are such the party animals...

Saturday was a nice down day... We spent it at home with the kids. Cleaned the house and watched a few movies. It was a nice family day. I had tickets to NKOTB but chose to give my ticket to my friend Amy, who went with Tiffany. I heard from multiple people that it was a great concert. I missed out totally. I will never buy tickets and then not go to the concert, that was stupid on my part... The person I gave my ticket to deserved to go out and have a great time. She is a wonderful friend and mother. She sent me a message the next day thanking me for the ticket, so that made me feel better knowing I gave it to someone who truely appreciated it. After all this time New Kids still rock!!!

Sunday Sunday SUNDAY... I went to book club. A month ago I started going to a book club that Monica and her sister started. AMAZING... All of the women are truely unique, I love that. I love diversity, I love change, I love bonding with a group of women who know who they are and where they stand in this world. I am one of the youngest women there, me and Juliana... I'm not used to being the youngest, I'm used to being right at the top, the oldest... Its not a bad thing its just different. Different conversations, different atmosphere, different views on life. I LOVE IT... I invited my sister Heather with me. She didn't have anything to do on Sunday so I asked if she wanted to go and s he did. I could tell she was nervous. Yet once everyone got there she fit right in. Her comments, her laughter, her views on our book that she hadn't read, were all great. Each woman brings something so different to the table. We can have great challenging conversations... I hope Heather has as much fun as everyone else did.. I hope she comes back next time... I look forward to book club every month... Love you book club friends...

I don't really have much planned for this week... no Dr. appointments... I am going to the Twilight movie!!!! My sister Danielle invited me and I"M SO THERE... Thursday at midnight... I'll give you all a review come Friday... I can't wait to see it... I've read the book and have fell in love with the story...

Happy Monday to you all...
