Happy Valentine’s Day
We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, just because Michael makes sure to tell me every day that he loves me, and I do the same. It’s not a once-a-year type thing. You should celebrate your love for the people in your life every day. While some of the people I love are so very far away, they might fall by the wayside now and again, I try to let them know at other times of the year. I feel like Valentine’s is so forced – it’s something you are suppose to do. Michael made me a cute card and put it on my keyboard after I fell asleep last night. I didn’t get him a card this year. We are going out to dinner tomorrow night (and getting dressed up too!) and Eshiva picked out a cake that we’ll have tonight.

Hi!
Where to start… we went to Orlando this past weekend. Sorry local gals – we went up in one car and I knew I wouldn’t be able to get away so I didn’t even bother posting about it. I will be uploading pictures at some point, so expect a photo spam post.
We hit Animal Kingdom (something we almost never do), MGM (excuse me, Disney’s Hollywood Studios) & Magic Kingdom. We were up early enough to see them *open* on both Sunday & Monday. Not. In. Years. It was a real treat for the kids. We left around 2 PM on Monday and were home around 6PM (hit those rain storms headed up and back).
We’ll be back up in Sept or Oct, the boys want to stay at Wilderness Lodge – we’ll see. That will depend on if the work I am expecting comes through and a few other things as well. It’s their birthday trip, so I usually try to keep them in on the plans and such.
Tuesday morning we had M’s IEP. All is well. Again, we won’t know until the year starts if he gets his aid in the classroom for next year, but I hope so. Some goals were met, some are the same and we added some new ones. His speech went from being a profound delay at last years IEP to a mild, age appropriate delay. Whoo Fucking Hoo Mal! Our private speech gal is going to have her work cut out for her to keep him as a client, but I love her and she’s really awesome and I attribute most of his success to her. She said his /r/ sound really, really needs work ;) I hope she can find a legitimate reason to keep him. He performs well in the speech room, but not as well outside. I think that alone means he should keep it up.
Tuesday night he was supposed to read a story he wrote at Barnes & Noble. I have video. It didn’t go well. He was all ready to read, went up there, and froze. Poor kid. I sat with him, and tried to convince him to read. No go.
Wednesday I got my hair done. My girl went in at 8AM for me! She is a peach. I was done by 10 and we went to Target (aka that vast time suck) and bought a box storage thing for outside for my new seat cushions, a couple of fans and some misc. other things we probably didn’t need at all. Wed afternoon is therapy with all the kids, where they act like animals and irritate the fuck out of me. Then we had dinner with my moms twin brother, his wife and their daughter. We almost never see them (they live in Reno) and my dad is still livid he didn’t bother to come out when mom was dying (and by the time he was going to come out he told him not to bother, there was no time and we’ll see you at the funeral in a few days. Fucker.). I told my Gram not to expect me to rearrange my entire day for family who doesn’t really want to see us again as I had to break a promise to Dorian to make dinner at a reasonable time.
Today I have been working, just dropped Fish off at work, and I am uploading pictures from, well, all of May. I’ll be making a few photo posts later on. It’s going to take all day to upload.
Our fence is complete! They will come out tomorrow or Monday to inspect it. It’s pouring now, so I can’t go enjoy it lol We’re having a party on Sunday, so just in time! I hope it doesn’t rain :( I think I “scheduled” it in between rain storms lol
Dor has his first sleepover weekend after next, so that’s exciting. We need to go get him some PJs and a gift to take with him.
And I think that’s everything!
Read MoreCheck out this bit of awesome!
I just wanted to point out the awesome that I just saw at the Whole Addiction site.
I had one of these, that I did myself, about 14 years ago (*gasp!*) and I was so proud of my new idea and how awesome it was (I was 15, everything was my idea and awesome, but that’s beside the point).
It was no where near as awesome as this. Mine was only two holes, and it was kind of a pain in the ass to set up. I pierced it myself, they weren’t even and were a little crooked on top of not being evenly spaced. This bit of love? Amazing. Great job John!

I haven’t blogged in a while. My blog is more like a journal for me anyway. This is worthy of blogging though.
Eshiva just came up to me with a picture of Erin that is in a red heart frame.
She told me “Mommy, this is my love”
I asked if she knew who that was (of course not) and I told her.
She said “I love her, can I put this on the piano?”
I said of course. She’s carrying it around telling everyone she loves her, this is part of my love too. She’s a part of my family.
Malachai is telling her that she (Erin) is dead, and two people in our family are dead.
Eshiva is telling him she isn’t dead, she is a part of our family. T
They are going back and forth. It’s cute.
<3
Eshiva is named for Erin (for those who don’t know). She died in 03, Shivie never knew her (obviously) – I don’t know that Malachai even remembers her.
She just came up to me to tell me Erin is dead, but we love her and she is still a part of our family and we have a picture of her when she was alive.

Went to Old Vienna for dinner last night. I had lemon-dill sauce with shrimp and spatzle and the best, best creamed spinach I have ever had. I could taste the cream. OMG it was so not healthy but it was so so good. We chatted with a couple that works there. They are going in to the shop for some work. I’m not usually friendly… That should bad, but I a not usually friendly with people I don’t know. They were just a very comfortable couple, you know? He had some gorgeous eyes too… so light blue they are almost white. and he was so dark complected. I love that combination. I hate my plain old brown eyes.
People are drifting in and out of my life at an alarming rate. I want to just grab them and keep them close. I know it isn’t the natural way of things, so I try to be all right with it. It makes me sad to have people come into my life so prominently and so quickly, and wash away with the same speed.
Our A/C is broken. We’re hoping it just needs freon. My dad bought two window units to get us through the week (our house was reading over 90) so there is one in his room and one is our room. We have ceiling fans and floor fans, but… it’s so hot here.
He mentioned something about the shop the other day. I had to remind him to not talk to me about it. Let me ignore it. He says I can’t ignore it. I think I can.
