Great Day!

Yesterday was a great day!  I didn't feel fantastic at first, because of my stomach, but I managed to get it under control with zofran and levsin sublingual tablets.  My sister and crew came in around 11 am and we went to lunch at Too Jays where I had just hummus (which was more then enough), but it looked like I was eating normally which didn't bother anyone.  I looked normal, I looked good...the first thing my sister's boyfriend said was that I looked good...the last time he saw me I was about 6 or 7 lbs heavier and SICK!  At Too Jays the waiters sang Happy Birthday to my nephew and that just made his whole day!!  He was such a good boy at the restaurant, even though it took a long time to get seated, and an even longer time to get our food.  Then the girls went shopping and the boys went home to play rock band on the Wii.  We all had a great time and it was a perfect way to break up the afternoon!

By the time the girls came home from shopping (which was a GREAT success because "Belle" got a new outfit with shoes and "MR" got a sweater, plus she bought "David" a pair of fuzzy pj pants) we were ready to pick up my grandparents for dinner and the Valentine's Day/birthday party for "JB".  While we were waiting to eat, the kids were playing Wii, Belle was playing the Wii Fit Plus and I was sitting on the couch watching when JB came up and cuddled next to me on the couch, laying his head on me and I wrapped my arms around him and just hugged onto him.  He hasn't done this in a while...I think because I was sick, and he had to be careful around me...I MELTED...I absolutely love my nephew to pieces and was so happy that he felt comfortable with me again!!

By dinner time we were all hungry and my Mom had outdone herself again!  There was SO much food and it was all delicious! JB was very excited about his chewbacka cake and it looked GREAT...I bet it tasted great too..but I was good and did not even take a bite, because I was so worried about my stomach...after dinner we opened presents, and the kids and my sister were completely surprised by their gifts (tickets to Disney for the family for 4 days/4 parks) and of course all the other little presents we got them!  The looks on their faces were priceless!! 

By the time they left, we were all exhausted, but completely HAPPY!  HOPE HOPE HOPE this feeling can last forever!!!
