She's 3 ... !!!

Well, my baby girl turned 3 today!! I think she had an absolutely fantastic day!! All of her little friends were here (Gabby, Daniel, Julia, Kristina, A.J. Kaleigh, Alanna) and all of her family came too! She picked out her own birthday cake (Minnie and Mickey mouse) and Gabby loved that Goofy popped up in the middle. It was so nice to have her come in (Thanks Jolene) She got alot of nice gifts!! It looked like Christmas again!! When she was opening up her gifts, I don't think she paid much attention to what she was getting until she went onto the next one! When everyone sang her happy birthday, she just stood there on the chair not knowing what to think. I'm actually shocked that she didn't start crying! She told me the other day that she didn't want everyone singing her that song.

I'm worn out!! It was a very long day. Kenny and I were running around since 8:30 a.m. I went out to the malls and picked up things while Kenny stayed home, looked after kids and cleaned up the entire house. I was quite impressed actually!

Now, we have to go to Daniel's birthday party tomorrow. Gabby's is coming up soon and then Julia's. Sooo many birthday's!! It's fun though. The kids have a great time so it's worth it :)

Anyway, time to go and rest!! What's that anyway??

It's Back to Work I go......

Well, it's my second day back to work and the first day I only managed to have 2 mini anxiety attacks. Worrying about the kids (mostly Brooke crying all day, etc) and then all the things that I have to learn again. Trust me, there is alot.

I came home yesterday, and was soooo glad! About an hour after I was here, Aliyah was in my arms, looked up to me and said "Mommy, Brooke doesn't want you to go back to work" (SIGH) and I responded "Why honey?" She says "Because she cried for you" Broke my heart to say the least. But she was alot better today. I think she definately needs to get used to seeing someone else's face than mine or Kenny's. I only get to see her for about 15 minutes when I get home and then she's ready for bed for the night. That's hard.

Aliyah is on the couch, writing in her book as I write. She's saying "Donna Flinn, Donna Flinn, Donna Flinn" as she writes my name in her little book. It's cute listening to her. She knew Kenny's full name when I asked her too.... I was surprised.

Anyway, it's almost time for me to go spend some quality time with Aliyah and read her "3 books Mommy" with the correct amount of fingers up on her hand.

Guess I'll get a good night's sleep tonight because Kenny won't be home until midnight....... he must be exhausted!!

Night.

Oh My!! LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!

Ok, so last night, was the BEST night for watching Grey's EVER!! I recorded it so I will have to watch it again so I can grasp EVERYTHING that happened! Calli and George! Oh! Meridith's Mom! OH!! Dr. McSteamy and Addison! OH MY! Dr. Burke and Kristina! Oh My My! What an episode, by far my favorite! I can't wait until next week!!

Aliyah is feeling better and back to her old self now. Brooke is still showing no signs of having the flu (knock on wood) I'm feeling a bit better myself!

Back to work on Monday. Yes, Monday! EEEKS! I'm not going to know what hit me I don't think. It will certainly be a change of pace. More hectic than what I ever was, is what I'm thinking! We'll see how that all goes.

Aliyah is VERY excited about her birthday. She came downstairs this morning, barely awake and says "Mommy is it my Birthday today?" She also has valentines filled out for all of her friends and family. She liked doing that!

Anyway, Brooke is getting cranky in her playpen. So I shall go see her :)
