Today is Mr. Topping's birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU!!!! Hope your day is great!!!

Thursday... LAST DAY of SCHOOL for the boys:) they are excited as well as I am... I am so ready for the summer to begin!
Well its been awhile since I last blogged... I am no longer using my "clunk of junk" computer I am typing on a "caddy" now:) Jeremie and I went to Chicago on Tuesday to get my new MAC BOOK:) I was so excited!!! and I am purely loving it so much I wont even let Jer touch it much... but anyhow as some of you may know Apple just recently came out with these and it didn't take long for us to have one... since jer is Apple crazy:) I bought a cute bag for it... black with poka dots... and yes my boys give me gruff about it already but hey its me.

We got our whirlpool tub home last night, had supper with Ron and Jenn and boys... since we needed Ron Ron's expertise in figuring things out at the house. I always enjoy spending time with these two, they are as true as true people can get and I just love that about them!! Yesterday I went to pick up the pictures the boys and I got done for Jer's birthday/Christmas gift... they turned out well, I was happy with them and I think Jer was surprised last night seeing them, spent the day shopping with Blade... well not shopping shopping but stopped at a few places in Anamosa, I got these really COOL jugs... they are repro but they look old so I was happy about that buy:) and that is really all I got besides a few little things for the house. Just feels nice to shop for things again for my house since I never really did that once the shop came along because if I wanted it I could just order it but then I would sell them before I ended up bringing any of it home... ya know?

Anyhow my thoughts on the shop now, well I feel 50lbs lighter.... well feels like it anyhow but I wish I was:) It just feels good to have what I need to get done there but also still have bittersweet feelings and I probably will for awhile but right now I am just enjoying the "good life" of being a mom and being there for my boys and putting my 100% dedication into the house and making decisions there. Today I got an invite to a friend's home party... its been a LONG time since I have gotten one of those or ever went to one of those and now I can go and enjoy it and buy something for my home.

Weekend comes up fast, we have a few graduation parties to attend, a campfire to attend (at least this is what I have been informed), and we have soccer. The laundry still awaits for me to get too... I was going to hit it hard today but Blade is acting funny (like sick) so just laying low today and trying to get things done here because I am so BEHIND:( I will be caught up soon I hope!!!

Enjoy the day~ until I blog again enjoy life, its good
