Sunday surprise!

So today I ventured outside of my house for the first time since before I was sick. I went to a friend's house for a Stampin' Up! party. I woke up late and we didn't go to church at all like I had planned. :( The time change forward always screws me up. Brian took Christopher to rehearsal on his way to work while I went to the party. I am glad I went though. It was nice to interact with other adult women while doing something creative. So theraupuetic! I haven't wanted to interact with other people much at all since I have been back. I tire easy and my steroids make me moody and kind of a bitch anyway. lol

I am trying to do a little more every day so I don't start getting stuck in a routine of doing nothing. Today, I came home and had a come to Jesus meeting with the boys about them helping out around here. They are old enough and we are tired of doing it all by ourselves when they can help. So...that being said, the boys helped me rock out a bunch of stuff and Brian is not even home yet from work. I am sitting here on the bed, writing this and folding laundry. I did manage to get one load from the washer to the dryer and a new load in. It about killed me which is why I am sitting here folding. My right arm doesn't do some things very well right now. I have trouble doing some movements, which is awkward and weird for me. I know it will get back eventually but in the meantime, it sucks.

Today was a gorgeous day. It was sunny and in the 50's. After we got home today, I opened all of the windows to let light and fresh air inside. It was glorious. I was really hoping it was now finally Spring but Christopher said that it was supposed to snow again this week. Oh well.

Soon Brian has to go to Colorado for work training. So he will be gone for a week. Money is super tight thanks to my hospital stay and they didn't give him enough advance money to buy his ticket. We do not have the extra money to cover the rest. Hopefully they can take care of that for him. Not sure when he is leaving but he will be back before his birthday and Easter. I hope we can figure out this disability thing and I can get some back pay that I lost. That would help us out tremendously. I really hate worrying about money. We have no food right now and we have to wait until Wednesday before I can really go grocery shopping and we missed the food pantry. :/

Chris is in purple

In other news, I am creating the HPYLA website and I am super excited about it! I am donating the web hosting, domain and my time and skills to make it awesome! Well, I hope! :) Lacrosse starts tomorrow but Christopher's vocal ensemble rehearsals will interfere with the first three practices so the next couple weeks will be kind of hairy...but I do love lacrosse!! Christopher also has a ton of performances scheduled the rest of this month for vocal ensemble and all county. I love that he is so involved in things but man it makes me tired when I am already exhausted just from folding some towels.

Javi, Aki & Jun

Today, Javi posted some pics from a christening-like thing they do in Japan. Here is my brother's family from the event. I am so tickled they finally have Jun. She is precious and I cannot wait to meet her. I really would love to be able to go to Japan this summer. Maybe I will win the lottery or something.

What a cute family. :) Right?
