Back to school

Well, I gotta say I'm kinda sad today. I forgot all the ways having a job would inconvenience me and interfere with my life! I AM happy to be watching the babies tomorrow... although they are handfuls, they are very adorable, BUT i am not available to take my kids to their first day of school and I can hardly stand it! Normally the twins' dad will take Jake and Sarah to school for me and drop them off since he has to take Hunter, his 7 year old anyway, but I just couldn't bare to let someone my kids have known only a couple of weeks take them to their first day of school. :( THANKFULLY, my precious, wonderful, ANGELIC friend Dawn who is like a second mommy to them anyway has agreed to take them for me! Thank you Dawnie! You are the best! But still... sigh... it makes me sad.

On a happy note, we did get the truck back Thursday night! It was even slightly less than the guy had estimated so that really was great news.

We went to my brother's house last night for an early celebration for my sister-in-law's birthday which is today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY! Anyway, we had SO MUCH FUN! My nephew Kyle had some kind of playstation game that has a fake guitar with it and you have to match the colors with what they are playing on the screen. It was extremely fun to watch! I tried it, but my attempt was unsuccessful to say the least. Jake rocked out though! Then later, Kathy got out her kareoke machine and we all sang these old songs from like the 70's. Remember the Styx song "Babe". I remember we used to couples skate at the skating rink to that song. Remember Diane? Beth? What a fun night. I feel I MUST buy one of those kareoke machines now. Maybe then Merideth would come sing for me! ????

Oh, other great news... my mom and John are moving to our neck of the woods! Well, at least within a 45 mile radius is what I'm hearing anyway. John is unable to go back to work full-time with his dialysis treatments so he is going to go on disability. It's sad for him, but good too because we will get to see them lots more!

Have a great week everybody!

Love and hugs!
Melissa

forgot to ask--How is the g-tube feeds goin? Are you getting used to the mickey button? Neat, huh? Kadyn's got pulled out again last Thur nite by accident, but the nurse got it back in quickly! Luckily her button only had 3 cc's of water in it so it didn't make her budge when it pulled! (all we need is more tummy probs!)
