Happenings

Haven't blogged in quite some time. Just been busy, and there's probably not anybody who cares whether I post something on a regular basis or not...

Haven't been doing a whole lot of exciting stuff, but we are gearing up for Evan's 1st Birthday Party this Saturday. Hard to believe our baby will be a year old already! When they say time flies, you better believe it does! ;) Looks like we are expecting a good turnout for his party, minus just a few... I am NOT a mean person, contrary to what some may think or say... But, Robert and I are NOT made of $$$ and when we send out a limited number of invitations, we have our reasons. The people that we care about and that care about us will be there and that's what counts!

We are also in the process of redoing our hallway bathroom. Robert spent several days off and on taking down the wallpaper that the previous owners had put up. We (well, Robert really) are painting and putting in a new light fixture, faucet for the sink, and handheld shower thingy... Plus a new shower curtain, rugs, etc. We'll probably put the old mirror back up until we can get around to finding the time and $$ to find a nice one to go with the new look. I am hoping the majority of the work will be done before Evan's party on Saturday, so that our guests can see it...

Just one more thing I have to get off my chest and then I'll end my post for today... Robert and I are NOT rich monetarily, probably never will be. BUT we love each other and our children and will never let them do without the necessities and most of what they want, as long as we can afford it. Robert and I both work FULL TIME jobs, and he actually works the weekend overnight shift so that he can stay home with the boys during the day while I'm at work. It can be a struggle at times, but we do the best we can. It just really bugs the daylights out of me that some people can be sooooo irresponsible, and yet still be so smug and "holier than thou". If you care to know more, I'll tell you. But not here. Because I'm not stupid....

Hey girl, I understand about the party thing. We had the triplets first B-day at a local restaurant, told everyone no presants (not that they listened), and made everyone pay for their own dinner! It was more of a celebration for us anyway. I think we are doing the same this year!!! Have a great party and watch out, the next year goes faster! You should come over and play!!!

I do care whether you post! I don't always comment, but I do check regularly. I think it's admirable Robert stays home so you can work during the week and then works the weekends. I'm sure it makes things very difficult, but you're making it work! David and I feel the same way about providing what our baby (babies later on) needs. He'll have what he needs, maybe not always what he wants, but that's okay! Keep up the good work! And your "babies" are growing up!
