In true Chrissie fashion I am late posting this, as in, it should have been posted on April 15th. In my defense I have been sick and working like crazy to catch up, with no energy so I forgot it was in draft mode. Ok, moving right along.

This is Aashley, she just turned 10! Holy COW double digits here we come! I have been teasing her about reaching the double digits and she very nicely said to me, “Aunt Chrissie, stop it! You’re making me feel old!”

But I can’t help it, I am the one that feels old! I spent many a weekend with her back in my single days. I had to cancel going to her birthday party this weekend because I was feeling so crappy. So her gifts are sitting here wrapped and waiting and it sucks not being around the block anymore…

I love ALL my nieces and nephews, but she was my first niece and I have such a soft spot for her I can’t begin to tell you. She is beautiful, funny, sarcastic, creative and so many other things. I see a lot of myself in her, it must drive my sister CRAZY, hehe.

My own kids are 16, 14 and 7 - where does the time go? Lately it really feels like time is flying by. Happy very late Birthday to my Niece that I love and Adore.

In other news, I’m going to live :) I go back to the doctor tomorrow to officially talk to her, but it’s not what they thought. Apparently I have sinus disease and I just finished my shitty antibiotics thank god. I still feel crappy, cranky, tired and headachey, but I think I am learning to live with it. But I assure you I am still charming ;)

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts, comments and emails. I appreciate it more than you know.

My Mommy came to visit this weekend and the Man was nice enough to take the kids to the beach yesterday so we could have the day to ourselves. We had a *great* time talking, shopping and eating. Fast forward to later that evening.

My Mom, the Teenager and myself went to return something to Walgreens and play lotto. He was taking foooorever in the store. He finally emerges, face red with embarrassment and says, ”Thanks Mom, these weren’t bought at Walgreens, they are from CVS and I looked like an IDIOT!” Oops. Kind of funny if you think about it ;)

In other news, I am still waiting on my results. I went down Friday and picked up the report, since my damn doctor couldn’t be bothered to call me. I don’t entirely understand it, of course and I am frustrated. And Google is just making me crazier… I need to stop reading. Is it too much to ask to want to know what the hell is going on?!

Still not used to this new version of WordPress. I still have 12+ blogs to update and I am not so sure I want too. I am determined to get caught up on work. I have enough stress without worrying that I am not making deadlines. I need a vacation, or a bottle of wine, or both. Something, anything. I know, I sound crazy. I am.
