the '05 year in review....
its the 2005 rundown......
january - went to er via ambulance on NYD. what a way to kick off the year, huh? i wind up layed up for about a week with a non-responsive back. kid are monsters, house goes uncleaned. oh joy. oh yeah, daddy henry has a birthday, so does aunt kat & grandma maria.
february - its the big v-day. nothing special. we're broke & getting ready to move. packing starts. house looks like a tornado. kids are monsters, house goes uncleaned. i'm in convulsions because of this. back seems to be improving.
march - its the luck'o'the irish month. so that means i've got to make corned beef & green beer. we're still packing. have i mentioned i hate moving? and this isn't the last time. gabe & claudia celebrate their first holy communion. oh yeah, the back goes out again. so i spend yet another week in traction. oh joy.
april - its easter. time to make baskets. my lea has her 5th birthday. MOVING DAY! oh joy...the back is acting up. we have visitors -- dona & horace, dale's parents. 1st visit in eons.... we head off to the mouse house! :) disneyland is so much easier when you're in a scooter! :) now starts unpacking. oh joy
may - mother's day month. dale changes jobs. happy birthdays this month to aunt kristin & nana! :) house is very tornado like. have i mentioned i hate moving? most of the boxes are gone. i'm off to the ortho for a consult. keeping fingers (and spine) crossed.
june - papa turns 33! its hotter than hades here in los angeles. the house is coming around. we paint the kids room in an undersea theme. school ends for claudia & gabe. ortho sends me to pain management for injections. hope they work! :)
july - we celebrate america's birthday at auntie dawn's house. pool, food, fireworks. we go to the beach. ALOT. its hotter now than last month. the house looks like a disaster area again. i'm redecorating. the back is twiching.
