Lots of work but some fun

I started my new job, well hospital orientation. Even though it's not physically demanding, hospital orientation is such a yawner that it wears you out mentally. Bright side: I get paid:)

In between orientation and my full time job, I've managed to have some fun.
Babygirl2 turned 22 on July 1. Since babygirl1 was coming to visit in a few short days, we decided to celebrate on July 3rd.

We had an awesome dinner at P.F Changs, a chain Chinese bistro. it's Americanized Chinese but tasty all the same. Even more interesting is that my ex husband and his girlfriend were there along with my mister. We have certainly come a long way!

Buddy and me! My baby boy is ginormous at 6'1". Yikes!!



Babygirl1 and hubby


Babygirl2, BBoy and son (I need a nickname for my new grandson!).



Me and my Mister;)


After a good, filling dinner it was time to sing happy birthday to my pretty girl!



My girl Loathes the singing part but didn't mind dessert:)

We really had a good time. In 2 short months, babygirl2 will be married and will be Bboy's wife. It's so hard to believe that my feisty, gutsy, beautiful, intelligent baby is old enough to be a wife. Where did the time go?? I feel good that I can look back and not wish I had more time when she was young. I enjoy my babygirls and my buddy in their youngness.

The family and my kids' Dad. Look how buddy towers over his Dad!!



The kids and me!



I am grateful for my fabulous kids! It wasn't always easy or fun but, so very worth it!!

Happy Mother's Day

To all you Mom's, soon to be Mom's or Moms at heart:)

Since I am working today, Babygirl, BBoy,whiz kid and Buddy treated me to breakfast. Mr. J and lil dude came along and we had a very nice morning. After breakfast, I watched my future grandson, whiz kid so babygirl2 and BBoy could take their engagement pictures. What a fun day watching him and lil dude.

On a fashion note, I have my eye on these beauties:
Tory Burch Teagan Cut out Sandals $375.00



Manolo Blahnik Cage Boots at the reasonable price of $ 1165.00!!


Note:I really don't buy these pricey items. I only drool over them;)

Super Sunday

Babygirl1 and hubby are in town. Always so good to have them *home*.

Babygirl1 and babygirl2 worked hard all day making the invitations for the wedding. I can't believe how incredibly talented my girls are. These invitations are SO beautiful. Better than most I have seen professionally. I will take a pic in a few days and post.

In the afternoon, we went to my Mister's place and he grilled some steaks.



The chef is hot isn't he;)






My most awesome kids!

We had such a great time.
Buddy blew us off for church and a girl! That's just fine though. If he'd been there, we would have run out of food for sure.

Since not much is going on...

I thought I would post some pics. Some you may have seen, some not.



























I feel so blessed to have such wonderful kids and that my girls have found awesome men to compliment them.

I also feel so fortunate to found my Mister. I so believe in fate. I didn't want to go to the Medical staff party. I was sick and felt like shit. He didn't want to go either. But, we both showed up.

Fabulous:)

I think I was at a turning point in my life. I had been alone for 3 years. I had grown into a very self reliant, mature woman. I do believe I was close to the point where I would be undateable. I was becoming to set in my ways, too in dependant.

I don't know if you all remember, but I was hesitant and didn't think he was for me in the long term. I had a list of all the things I wanted in a man. He had them all but he also had one that I didn't want.

A small child. I have raised my kids, enjoyed them and now I'm almost done. I have been able to take care of myself and enjoy life. I wasn't sure I could do it all again, especially a child I have not raised myself.

But then I realized that if I really love Mr. J that if I don't accept his son it's like not accepting a vital part of him, like his heart or a lung. I mean really! I know how much my kids mean to me.

I finally met little dude and it was love at first sight. Watching my Mister with his little guy made me love him even more. Little dude was slow to warm up but by the second encounter, he was talking my head off and asking ME to get him a drink.

I want to post his picture because he is so adorable but I will refrain.
