The journey has kept moving...

We moved into our forever house!!  We have renters in our townhouse... they are set through 2.5 years, hopefully we can sell it then... Lots has happened too... the evil one is preggers through some miracle... her mom is sooooo not happy, but hearing her mom validated all my concerns, and that I am not just an evil bitch.  She is def older, the dad is WAYYYYYY older...and they make more money than DH and I combined but all you hear is how poor they are.  Its disturbing.  And DH decided to sell her my car...which will accommodate her spawn...and allowed me to get a new car.  I got a basic Rav4. Nothing fancy...no bells or whistles, but I love it. Don't get me wrong I LOVED my Compass...and I cry over not having heated seats.  But it's for the better and really fits me and the kids much better getting around town now that they are getting bigger.

Can you believe they are almost 2 and a half! M. can count all the way to 11 all by herself, and sings her ABC's too.. B. is def the quieter one, but is fiercely protective of his big sister. They are actually in different rooms at day care now...they only had one spot in the potty training room - but I actually think it's good for them. M. was ready for the challenge, whereas I think B. likes to be in charge now that M. is out of the room.  So I do think it will be good for both of them.  M. occasionally uses the potty, it would be nice if it was more often, but baby steps right?  B. on the other hand cries when he is on the potty.  Silly boy.  Just not ready yet.

Meanwhile, I thank God every day how lucky I am.  Especially as one dear friend was recently diagnosed with 2 types of breast cancer and starts her healing journey. A co-worker's mom just had a radical hysterectomy and lost half of her bowel to ovarian cancer.  A third friend just entered the hospital today with her 2 year old who is being treated for a rare cancer of the nervous system - 2 months of a bone marrow transplant starts today. He won't touch grass or the beach again for at least that long. I am in awe of each and every one of these people...how strong they are. How wonderful they are. How lucky I am.

If you can, say a prayer for my peeps today...I think they could really use the extra blessings right now...
