Birthdays, kids, and houses

So I turned 32 the other day. I didn't know it though. I never can remember how old I am. I usually ask my brother in law, because his birthday is 5 months before mine-he's the older one! lol He told me he was 33, so that meant I was 33. REALLY?! aw crap. He totally had me going. I thought I missed a whole year!! The funny thing-I used to get so mad at my grandma cause she did the same thing. She never knew how old she was. She always asked me. Of course, being on the receiving end of great gifts-why would you know how old you are?! But that doesn't happen anymore, so I don't give a crud about birthdays anymore. :-) But my sister and the kids called and sang to me-that was cute. I did buy a house gift with some money I got from my dad and my mother in law. I will totally post pictures of it when I get it set up in the new house!!

Speaking of that-we're hoping to know soon!! Kevin goes out of town Sunday, so we are doing a power of attorney paperwork in case we do get to close while hes out of town. Just so I can get in-and get out of the in laws house!! lol They already have the sold sign in the yard-and we don't own it yet. That was exciting. I met one of the neighbors and I may be babysitting her 5 yr old after school, which is good. I planned on watching a few afterschoolers or one child all day-so I am guessing it will be after schoolers!

Austin has played his first football game last week and they won. Well, he didn't play-he didn't have a helmet. Apparently he took after me and got my big ol head! I had to go to the local high school and get one of their helmets to fit him. tomorrow is another game, he might play. I hope so. I hate sitting in those stands just scanning the field for him and then nothing. It reminded me of my high school days though. I remember dating one football player and I always looked for him while I was up in the stands. I was always so proud that MY boyfriend was on the football field!! But now, my heart just swells thinking of MY son out there! if only they would get him out there!! lol

I am tired of the computer-I will try to upload photos this week-I swear!

I need to mention some sad news that affects a friend

In all my house joy, one of my friends and his wife are going thru a very tough time. I found out Friday night that his brother in law (her brother) committed suicide. It has been a very tough time for both of them. He had to plan a funeral, tell his 3 yr old about death, he lost his brother in law and she lost her brother. In such a tragic way.

Like I have said in the past-suicide should never be an option. There is ALWAYS someone who cares. Just reach out. It's hard, but it is NOTHING compared to the pain you will leave behind. And though you may not be suffering the hurt anymore, you leave guilt and pain and the question-why? It never goes away.

So please think about them while you are arguing with your siblings. Be thankful for the opportunity to be able to have that argument.
