Here I am....

I had to take a break from the blogging for a few days because I didnt want to ramble on about how terrible I had been feeling, So, here I sit on a better day ready to hit the keyboard with positve thoughts and affirmations. Just one thing before I blather on, thank you so much you guys for helping me figure things out.

Anyway, things have been going well here at the Liston home. The kids are on sping break this week, so Zachary has been out the door from 10 am til 7 pm just about everyday. Stopping long enough for a pb&j sandwich and many popsicles. It has been so great, he is so worn out by the time bedtime rolls around that he welcomes the comfiness of his Spongebob bedsheets. The weather has been so great too, so that makes things so much more bearable. As Zach plays out side riding his bike up and down the street, I am able to get things done around the house and also get in some much needed reading. I love to sit on my front porch and rock in my "freshly painted" rocking chairs and read some chick book that is totally mindless but absolutley wonderful! I have been spending time with Jo Anne and Wendy in our front yards just watching the kids play and having "adult talk", which is blissful. You dont really get the oppurtunity for much regular talk when your day is filled with kissing boo boos and discussing the antics of Jimmy Neutron. Although, I wouldnt trade it for anything ion the world!
I was able to ge tout on my won for a couple hours the other day, which was noice. Like I said the kids are on spring break, so my babysitter was able to come over in the afternoon on Tuesday and I went and had a shopping spree at Target. Man, there's nothing like a little retail therapy when life has you down. The whole thing started with me needing invitations for a coffee I am having. Of course you have to start at the beginning which is clothing. They have the cutest summer clothes, so I had to buy several outfits for Zachary and then, of course, I couldnt deprive my self of a few things. Then clothing takes you to stationary which is right next to health and beauty aides which is next to the book and video department. And on my way to the checkout, I walked past the seasonal aisle and it dawned on me that Sunday is Easter! SO.... I had to make several Easter basket purchases, an egg coloring kit, a dozen or so plastic fillable easter eggs and candy to go in them. SO, when all was said and done I had clothes, books , shampoo, conditioner, Easter necesseties and of course the inivtaions.
In the end I was so high from all of my purchases, that I had minimal buyers remorse!

We are getting ready for our big trip up to RI. It is going to be a long one, but we are ready for it. With the events of the past week, it is going to be nice to get out of dodge for awhile and be in civilization for an extended amount of time. My bestest friend Gina, is going to fly down here and then drive home with me, Zach and three doggies! She is a true saint. I couldnt do this without her. Love you Gina!! It will be nice to be up there for an extended stay and spend loads of time with my family and friends. Not to mention all the beautiful babies that will be making appearances this summer. I am so excited for that. I am finally going to have a niece or nephew of my very own, to spoil rotten! Much to my brothers dismay.....

So, that's my story.....not too exciting, but good enough for me! Til next time.......
