I'm home alive and fine

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm home.  I'm sooooooo glad to be home.  I love my sister and love her children like they are my own but man o man there is just soooooooooo much going on ALL day long and sometimes all night if there is a sick one.  Which there were two this time.  So every night Walter and I had a kid sleeping between us.  It's not so comfortable sleep on a full size bed with a child in the middle who sleeps side ways and upside down and feet in your back ugggggghhhhh.  I love them so much.  I made them cupcakes inside ice cream cones for Valentines day.  And bought all 11 of them little heart shaped boxes of candy, a valentines cup with their name on it and a big heart shapped sucker for each of them.  They each had a little valentine card for me---the kind they give out at school.  My niece put her's in the mail box and asked "Auntie I mailed you a card did you get it?"  She's 5 so she doesn't get the whole stamp thing lol.  But my sister had rescued it from the mail and gave it to me before my niece asked so of course I told her I did get it and absolutely loved it.   I am getting so back to my old self.  (years ago old self)  I cooked dinner 5 nights for my sisters family.  Stood at the stove and all.  And I didn't even give it a second thought that I was standing so long.  Usually when I do something I am constantly thinking man I need to sit down---I'm standing too long.  That's the old me and knowing that if I stood too long my legs would get wobbly and I would feel like they were just going to collapse and my back would be aching so bad I'd almost be in tears.  It feels so good to do things and then realize later---wow I couldn't do that a month ago. lol  I even walked UPHILL to my niece and nephews bus stop everyday.  And when I say uphill I mean UP HILL!!!  It's only a block and a half but if any of you have been to St Louis then you know how LONG one block is. 

So how about I was in Walmart the other day and Walter had dropped my off at the door because I just needed to run in and cash a check.  I was walking out and Walter walked in and looked at me and kept on walking.  I was like did he not see me??  So I called his name and he looked and was like wow I didn't even recognize you.  Now that is amazing.  We' ve been together 9 years and he pretty much sees me everyday and he didn't recognize me???  I thought wow maybe I am changing.  When I was in St Louis my oldest nephew (14) and Walter and I stopped to get something to drink at a gas station and my nephew was putting a lid on his soda and I was standing there waiting because I had already grabbed my water and was ready to go.  Well he looked up at me and said woah you scared me---I didn't know that was you I thought it was just some lady standing there.   Kinda funny when you're own family doesn't even recognize you.  I haven't weighed since Karen had her surgery on the 29th of Janurary so I don't know if I've lost any more but man I must be losing something and thank God it isn't hair.  I don't have much to spare anymore. 

Please keep my niece Celine in your prayers.  She was born with Kidney Reflux and has another kidney infection.  My sister caught it early so they think this round of antibotics should take care of it.  I really hope so.  Because of her disease she doesn't grow much she's so tiny---she looks more like a 3yr old than a 5 yr old.  All the other kids her age just tower her.  I'm just so worried that one of these times she'll get an infection and it will get out of control.  She's so tiny I'm afraid her little body will just get overwhelmed with all these infections.  She is supposed to grow out of it in 5 years but she's 5 now and still has it.  Hopefully not much longer.

Well I need to get in the shower Walter and I are going to have a picnic today at the park since the weather is going to be so nice.  His birthday is tomorrow so I need to sneak off and get his gift today.  I'm getting him a 22" HD LCD monitor for his computer.  They have them on sale at Target for 174 this week. 

I can't wait to see you all Saturday.  I need my BFF fix. 

Take Care

Angie glad to have you home.  This will seem like a little vacation away from the family.  It is always great to visit but I am always ready to go home.  My sister n law has 4 children I cant even imagine 11.  I am hoping I can make it on Saturday, talked with Deb and I may ride with you both will just have to see if it all works out.  Need to get information from Susie.  Enjoy your picnic today.  hope to see you Saturday if not maybe at the gym, Hugs, Raynetta
