Friday the 13th!

I'm not scared! Haha! It should be a good day. I am almost off of work, and I am going home with my girlies. Julie and the babies are coming over to spend the afternoon with us, that'll be fun!

The past few days have been crazy. This week we had our trees trimmed, our house painted, our new entertainment center delivered...I feel like all I am doing is writing checks to people! It made a big difference though. The living room looks good, and it is still bare!

The kids have been kinda off from all the excitement. They are good, just a little sensitive this week for some reason. BUT, I have been too. I am at the point right now that I get to sometimes...I feel like a pushover. This happens when I get busy. Ihave been working, getting up early, doing the majority of the work around the house, trying to be a shoulder to some poeple around me that need one right now, dealing with my own issues....I never ever say no. To anyone. I take the demands, I take the requests, I take the pressure, and honestly, I am tired of taking the higher road sometimes. I want to say No, leave me alone. I have other things to do. I have myself to take care of. I have something to say, and I don't want to feel bad for it or be torn apart for it! I don't know...this doesn't make much sense, I am sure. There are a lot of "I's" in this blog. I try not to write about myself too much. It feels selfish to me. Things will get better, they always do. Just a little funk.

Vegas this weekend baby!!!! I am super excited. I had a total blast last time I went. Being in that city with Sharon and Jamie was beyond major fun! I can't wait to see them again. But, this weekend, I will be able to spend sometime with Brad, gambling! Hahaha, is it bad that is one of our favorite things to do together? We have so much fun doing it. Maybe we can beat our record from 2001. We sat at one blackjack table for 12 hours straight that trip. We are gonna try again. But that means we need to be winning, lol. Fingers crossed!!!!
I'm gonna miss my girlies. Seriously. Ellie told Brad and I both today "Love you!". That's so cool. No feeling on earth quite like that. Payton slept with us most of the night last night. It was nice, other than the hair in my mouth and the elbows in my side. She is the world's best cuddler. I love these girls so very much. I hope they know it.

Time to go...gonna pick up my kiddos and lunch for Juju and I. I miss her so much.
