Happy Birthday Wyatt
Hope your call tells you what you're hoping to hear Cortney.
I could never lose weight while bf'ing, I was far too hungry.
I wish I could just stay home and not go anywhere for the next week, but that's not going to happen, especially with the nice day we're having, it's so great to be outside.

I am happy I got to visit with my BFF! She came up and had dinner with us and spent time taking care of the baby. I miss hanging out with her like we did in the old days.

Woo-hoo to 18! I was okay with them turning 18, I was not okay with them going off to college. I was an emotional wreck lol
Not much today, hubby said that he had to work..it's supposed to be his day off, now that means I have to cook dinner at 1 o'clock. I hate having to cook that early. Wait, I think he needs to leave earlier today. I guess I can fix breakfast and dinner at the same time.

My husband loves when I make the ice cream cake, because I make "real" ice cream cake. DQ's cakes are fake I guess.
So DH spent hours at the store yesterday then came home empty handed because the Mark that he works with at the hatchery wanted to help him with his plans for the porch. I was skeptical because this is the same guy that suggested people might want to have the option to pay full price for guaranteed fish, or 1/2 price for the other fish. I never laughed so hard in my life. So you're going to sell me fish for 1/2 price that will pretty much die? LOL ANYWAY turns out the guy is actually good at contractor stuff. I guess he's not all dumb, AND he paid for the supplies too :O We still got the receipt so we get to write it off on rent plus labor so it's an awesome deal. I was shocked. Of course this means that they aren't going to pay the web for another few months, but that still saves us 78.00 even if it were just parts, if that makes sense.

Shari I cried for months leading up to him leaving. He would look at me and shake his head, after we took him I cried when frying potatoes cause I wouldn't have to make as much. I found it was the small things that would send me into tears, but he calls me at least every other day just to say hi. That makes it a lot easier, plus holiday breaks when he comes home. He'll actually be home for the summer in a few weeks and I am so excited!

My husband tells me all the time how long we have until each kid turns 18. I guess he expects them to move out right away. As long as they contribute in some way when they are adults they can stay, for a reasonable amount of time anyway
I don't really think much about the kids moving out and stuff, but sometimes I think about them getting older, and that means I am getting older, and I am super afraid of death, so I don't want to think about it.

I've thought about my oldest getting older and graduating. It scares me actually but I have several more years.
Dh and I went to my BFF's 30th birthday last night and had a little too much fun, lol! This morning was awful.

Front porch is pretty much done. Just need to clean out the crap from under it from all those years, and put on the other side of lattice and the bottom front board. I'll take a few pictures later. DH worked for over 12 hours on it yesterday all by himself.
I don't know if you've seen the commercial for that eucerin eczema solutions but that stuff is awesome. I even put it on bastian's butt where he had that one blister that wasn't clearing up and his butt looks beautiful. It worked on my hands faster than the prescription steroid cream too.

My oldest will be 18 in 8 months, second oldest will be 16 in 5 months. One graduates in '13 and one in '14. I don't think I'll feel old until I am a grandma, lol, but hopefully that is still many years away.
