Tomorrow is Mothers Day and I’ve already been given some of my presents. :-) Laikyn made me a card with a very sweet poem that she wrote. It made me cry. :-) Kailyn gave me a digital photo keychain, my dad gave me a webkinz turtle :-), my mom sent me a card and Josh got me a pair of Bolle sun glasses.
It’s a good Mothers Day already…and it doesn’t start until tomorrow!
I live in an old house that’s always needing work done to it. Right now, we have a toilet that leaks, a faucet that leaks, a drain that clogs easily, painting that needs done, exterior work needing done…etc..etc…Because of this, it’s hard for us to do anything extra that we would like to do.

For instance, I have been wanting to put in a small pond in the back yard for two years now. I would also like to get some of those wood blinds for the first floor. I love the way they look in an old house. Even if I could get them only for the foyer and the living room…that would be great. As I said, there is always something that needs to be done to the house…so the things we really want get put on the back burner for a while.
Oh well…maybe next month!
I used to drink a lot of coffee. I do mean A LOT! I had a pot of coffee on all day long…actually a few pots as I was drinking so much I was constantly making more. :-\
I started having heart palpitations and I decided that the coffee may have something to do with it….so I stopped coffee altogether. The palpitatins havent’ stopped completely, but they’re almost gone now. I think what’s left are caused by the little bit of caffeine I’m getting from other things like tea and chocolate.
I found this tea I love. It’s called Earl Grey…I buy it in decaf and it’s delicious! So now, rather than coffee I drink hot tea in the morning. I was going to buy one of those espresso machines before the palpitations started…I still may. I believe it’ll be ok every once in a while.
