Good MORNING!

So wow, what a long action packed weekend! I have so much news this morning I am bursting at the seams with it all!

So here are some major pieces of news:

1. I have officially weaned myself off of the anti depressants I have been taking for nearly 4 months now. They were killing me...and when I did something very stupid last week while medicated, I decided to take the bull by the horns and get off of them. Almost a week now and I am feeling great!! I am still having some mood swings but overall I am getting so much better! Last night was my fist deep sleep unmedicated in nearly 4 months! I slept like the dead too! I am feeling peppier and I think the pills were my reason for gaining the 13 pounds in the last few months. I had become a mean recluse and was spending every night away from people and sad and crying and just so unhappy. But now I am awake and happy and looking foward to all life has and getting back to the GYM! (which I havent been to in months now) I am alive again and I am truly proud of myself for getting over this hurdle alone as no one else could have fought this battle for me. yay!

2. We rehomed DeJa. She had some real character flaws and was becoming increasingly aggressive with Laci and starting to snap at both kids and growl and it just wasnt a risk we were willing to take with our children as she would outsize them in just a few more months and we didnt want something drastic to happen. So with a sad heart, but the strength by looking at attack wounds on christophers arm, we found her a childless home where the husband and wife were unable to have kids of their own where she could live out her days without endangering anyone. It was hard, I got choked up, but I have to put my kids first and it is what it is, and she is no longer a part of our family. :(

3. My grandpa is in the next step down room!!! He is getting stronger each day and will soon be coming home! He has a phone that I have tried to call about 4 times, but must be screening his calls since I have yet to reach him! Ha! Well Gramps, looks like we will be enjoying grandma's beautiful Thanksgiving tree together here soon! I cant wait to see you both! Keep getting better and stronger and get that fur thong out of storage for the winter months! hahaha!!! (I am still loving that comment!)

OK, now for my weekend.
Friday I went to Toys R Us and got some great deals on the play food for the kids' kitchen from santa, and I went to Linens and Things that is going out of business and got this AMAZING bed in a bag set that is microsuede (sp?) and is OH so luxurious that was originally 120.00 for 35.00!!! Woot! (now thats a black friday worthy sale there!) I also took the kids to Garden ridge after school to look at all the christmas stuff they have up. Laci loves trees all done up and screams "OOOH!!!" everytime we see one. Friday night was Christopher's fall festival at his pre-k and we stayed out til about 7, which felt like 9 b/c it was dark for so long, came home and me and brian had zaxbys while the kids bathed and got ready for bed. Saturday we got up and went to breakfast at the buffet, I dont car for their food that much but we had fun anyhow. My kids were so happy to get brownie sundaes with their breakfast, heehee! Then we went to Target to look at christmas stuff. After Laci's nap we went to Chuck E Cheese's and the kids really had a good time. We got to meet David's girlfriend Melissa who tagged along with David to spend time with us at CEC. It was a nice time and I really liked her and look foward to seeing her again. :) Sunday we went to my moms to get our christmas movies out of storage and then to Wal-Mart for groceries. Then we came home and during Laci's nap me and Christopher went to see Madagascar 2. It was a super cute movie and I really liked it. Then we came home and just rested and watched some christmas movies until bedtime.

Anyhow, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and I am now gearing up for BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!! There will be some great Thanksgiving sales at K-Mart too this year and I look foward to being there bright and early!! Woot!!!

Have a wonderful monday!!!!
