My hiatus from the computer was fantastic. It's always nice to regroup away from this thing and remember what's important in life!

I had an awesome time at my Girl's Night Out on Friday. I picked up two friends and we hit the Green Iguana to meet up with some more mom's, only to discover that we were at the wrong GI! We talked about leaving, but we were having a great time so we hung out for a bit. Then we decided to try O'Brian's since I've always wanted to go there and it is in our neighborhood... It's great! We had such a good time there! It's comfortable and there are no hoochie-mamas and guys scamming (for the most part, LOL!), you can sit inside with the live band or outside where, as Peggy so nicely put, "Irish meets Tiki Hut." I'm pretty sure it's going to be a regular spot for us.

Saturday was Ian's football game (they won) and then Ian, me, my mom and dad, Dave, Krissy, and the kids, all went to Palm Harbor for the Touch-a-Truck event. It was great! Ian had a blast climbing all over the big trucks and playing on the playground, and I had a good time hanging out with my family. Ian and I napped when we got back home, and then Saturday night we watched movies.

Sunday I got up early and Sean and I lazed around until Ian got up. I went to Church and, surprisingly, Sean and Ian cleaned the whole house while I was gone! When I got back we went to eat lunch, then napped until it was time to watch the Superbowl.

Monday I kept Ian home because, well, I didn't feel like driving all the way to his school. We hung out and did his workbooks, then my mom came by and we took a picnic lunch to the park. It was great to just hang out and be with them!

Tuesday I was sick and spent the day in bed, but then felt OK by mid-afternoon after I got the call I've been waiting for these past weeks! I will be starting work on Monday (I got to choose between Monday and Thursday so I had to do some quick thinking!), so I turned on my computer and did some on-line research on couches. I found one I liked and, that night, we bought the couch and some end tables/coffee table. I didn't mean to buy them, but I decided since we're done having kids I should treat myself to some furniture that's decent!

We got the sofa in a rich brown color, not this tan thing. It's great because it reclines, but the lever is under the arm rest so there isn't that stupid wood bar on the outside of the sofa.

These tables are great! They have slate on the top and the brown is really brought out by the couch. I'm changing the motif of the house so I'm hoping these are a good start.

Today we had the observation of the ELPs class. It's a great program but I think Ian is a bit advanced for it. I think we're going to keep Ian where he is and request the speech therapist go to his school, then we'll revisit it in August. There are a lot of reasons why, but I'll get in to it more tomorrow. Right now I'm going to bed!
