This year is already flying by and I feel like we have been busier than ever. I moved offices at the end of December and took some time to adjust in January. I am now back into the full swing of child therapy and loving every minute of it.
Pumpkin Pie took a trip to the aquarium with school last month. She is turning into quite the little photographer and loves taking goofy pictures of herself with her friends.
Matt and I took a date night for Valentine's day. His aunt and cousin came to the house to babysit on a Friday evening and we ate at Cracker Barrel (because it seemed to be the least crowded of restaurants) but was very enjoyable. I didn't even call to check on the girls a single time. I was very proud of myself. Saturday, Matt's aunt and cousin took the girls to get a manicure and out to eat at Olive Garden. We did call a few times that morning but I managed without freaking out too bad. I know that I really need to loosen up and let my girls have a break from me once in a while.
We have enjoyed the snowfall that we have received, although we only had one snow big enough to really play in. We built a snow man that the girls ended up tearing down. We had a snowball fight and we pulled one another around the back yard on sleds. Bailey loved the snow but was a freezing furball when we finally made our way back indoors.
We have spent several weekends with my nephew and actually had his and the girls pictures made a couple of weekends ago. We also plan to get their Easter pictures made in the next couple of weeks. I have ordered the girls Easter dresses and already have little booger's shirt but had to order his pants. I love, love, love Gymboree but the store didn't have one of the girl's dress size so I decided to order all of it online. I could really get in trouble with that.
Pumpkin Pie started basketball season a few weeks ago and I actually get to watch a basketball game or two in the next couple of weeks.
I am completing my application to become a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), which may not sound like a big deal, and may not even get approved but there are only approximately 20 RPT's in the state of Tennessee. I am pretty excited about the possibility so keep your fingers crossed.
We celebrated Matt's birthday this past weekend. We ate dinner with our best friend's on Saturday evening and Matt received a "Dad's against Daughter's Dating" (DADD) shirt, which he is already making plans on where all he will be wearing this shirt to (intimidation tactics). We didn't get to do anything big this weekend but Matt received his present from me and the girls a couple of weeks ago. We bought him a new 32' flat screen TV for the bedroom. There was a selfish motivation to it as well...I wanted the PS3 out of my living room and this was the only way to motivate him to do so.
Pumpkin Pie and I are also trying holistic treatment for her migraines and my fibromyalgia. So far, she has shown a reduction in migraines and I am optimistic that she may be able to come off the medicines soon. As far as the fibromyalgia goes, I have seen results but not exactly what I was looking for. I guess some results are keeping me optimistic that some things have to get worse before they get better and that this will eventually (hopefully soon) improve.
As you can tell, we have had a lot going on but I have not taken a lot of photos lately and while we have been doing a lot, it does not feel like a lot of it has been noteworthy. Stay tuned though...spring break is coming up and we do have several things planned to do with the kids!
