Longest Week Ever!!!!!

This seems like the longest week ever and I didn't even have to work on Monday!!!!

I am not sure if it's from last week being an emotional week or being away this weekend or all the unnecessary DRAMA that I have to listen to after Grandma's passing...I won't go into that as it just makes me upset and my blood BOILS!!!!!

I took Monday off to get unpacked and Ava had an appt in the afternoon so it was a good day to stay at home and since I only used one of the three days I get for bereavment I fidured why not take the day off!

Tuesday life was back to "normal", after school and work we went to Chuck E Cheese for Aiden's birthday. He is so sweet. He had no idea we were going but it was already his BEST Birthday ever after school and all he had gotten to do so far was take his friends cookies to celebrate with them at snack time! So, we told him we had a surprise and I loved hearing his guesses, he wanted to know if it was somewhere you eat so he did guess Chuck e Cheese first then Joe's crab shack since he love's Joe's! Then he started with off the wall places like Zoombezi Bay or Co Co Keys- so he didn't find out until we pulled into the parking lot. We had a really great time and Ava enjoyed it as well! Just one word of wisdom....don't ever get the salad bar at Chuck E Cheese. I was feeling horrible once we got home and I knew I should not have eaten off that thing!!!! EEEEk, makes me sick to think about it.

Once we got home, Amy and Seth came over to the house to join us for cake and ice cream and Aiden opened his presents from us and cards that came in the mail. He was so excited about everything!!!! We got him a game table for the basement and he LOVED it!!!!!! It has 14 different games he can play on it. Chris needs to find the time to put that together.

Last night I finally decided to go down and do the Wii Biggest Loser, well I wasn't really happy when I stepped on the balance board and it took my weight so the diet started today!!!!!! Aiden pressed a button on the remote while I was in the middle of the program and it turned it off so I ended up doing the elliptical for about ten minutes, I need to start slow...but I really need to do it everyday if I can, I am just a little tired of my body right now. I am heavier than I have ever been besides being pregnant.

Tonight Aiden has basketball practice so I am taking Ava to the grocery store with me. Tomorrow evening is game night at Aiden's school so we will be going there in the evening. Saturday morning is his first basketball game ( we missed last week which was really the 1st but he isn't aware of that ) Sat afternoon is the Aiden's kids party so that should be a good time! Aiden keeps asking everyday if we are going to Fliptastic today for his party!! I just love his age, everything is so exciting!!!! Mostly all the kids he invited can attend so that makes it even more special!!

Now, we will be planning our little princess's first Birthday party!!!!! Hard to imagine!! She is now 19.2 pounds. I took her to the peditrician on Monday to have her iron checked and it was still low. She has to continue supplements for another month. I hope her numbers increase next month. Other than that she is wonderful! She is getting more vocal and is cruising EVERYWHERE! The other night she was walking along with wall and she is trying to be a big girl and let go but falls a lot! It's so much fun watching her! She also is starting to get a little seperation anxiety, I noticed her cries when I walk away sometimes and she cried this morning when I handed her over to the sitter. That broke my heart! It never does get any easier :-(

I will download pictures from Aiden's party this weekend or early next week!
