*** I guess I never finished this post... so I am actually "posting" it on 03/04/13... but it's from 02/26/13
because you'll miss it... February is just about over... I can't believe how quickly this month has flown by.
Greyson's party was great. He was SO happy and he and his friends had such a great time, and the fact that my dad was able to be a part of the festivities made it that much more special. The boys and I got to spend a lot of quality time with the Pops and it was awesome! We even got to watch the SuperBowl on a new flat screen thanks to gramps.
Turns out A-hole served me up some court papers on the day before Greyson' party... so that was a pleasant little surprise. Note... it was one week to the day that we had finalized all of the paperwork when he found out I was dating and decided to take me back into court to renegotiate custody, etc. Interesting, no? He says he needs to protect his children... I guess since I am dating, now I am an unfit mother. Needless to say he did not come to the birthday party.
My mom came in to town to help me with the boys because I had the BIG TEN gala to attend. This is the boys' school's big fundraiser for the year. Each class has to make a project that is auctioned off (I of course was in charge of that project...) and there is a huge $10,000 drawing. Before that though, I got so majorly sick I thought I was going to die. I even ended up in the ER one night at 2:30 a.m. b/c I was SURE I was dying. If you know me you know that I'm not a puss... but man, I woke up and death was knocking at my door. Obviously, I did not die, but I'll spare you the details.
THANK GOD my mom was around, b/c although I didn't get a "total" break... she was able to give me a bit of reprieve here and there... and even though I was on death's door... and because my mom was there to give me the "gift" of a "girl's day to myself ( and there was no way I was going to pass that up) I took Saturday and went to a crafty thing at Anthro, then went and got my nails done and then my hair. The WHOLE time I was either freezing or sweating to death. I had to go to this event, I just had to.
Once we got there and I got over my initial "sweating" phase, and had a beer, we actually felt ok for a bit. So we mingled and had dinner, sat through some of the auctions and left. At this point I get frantically called and texted because we left RIGHT BEFORE the big $10,000 drawing and guess what? I was int he top 10. (They choose 10 people and then slowly eliminate...). So we zip around and I come running back into the hall only to be the first to be eliminated. Oh well. For about 3 minutes I was elated!
I was able to sleep in the next morning and that FELT GREAT!!!!
I ended up staying sick for another 2 weeks or so... it sucked balls.
