You say it's your birthday...

We had Kaitlynne's birthday party yesterday, and we had a BLAST!  I think nearly 30 people showed, bowled, goofed off...it was just so much fun!  I finally got to meet Pam (you'd think with all the time we're on here talking to each other we would have met by now..LOL), who brought the babies (Austin and my namesake, Beckah) and Kevin (jackass gave me a wet willy..I DON'T FORGET).  Kim came with all her boys (Donald sat this one out for whatever reason, but I think she still had a good time and I know the boys did), Melissa and her family (omg I thought she was a riot, but her husband keeps right up with her...lol), Scott and Pete, along with Pete's brother and his family (it was a matter of who sucked the worst when bowling...), mom (of course Nana-nator was there..she came, she saw, she ate chicken wings), Oliver and Jo with their kiddos (didn't get to see much of them...Jake kept them running...)...just a really great time (for everyone, especially Kaitlynne).  Brandon was perfect!  He socialized, slept, ate...not one problem with him at all!  It was great to see my friends...true friends, and of course my family.  It was needed, as my faith in friendships and relationships with my family had faltered due to misplaced trust and caring.  Not anymore, tho.  I've re-evaluated my standards of how I think I deserve to be treated...I don't have the time nor patience for anything less.  "Took the trash out", so-to-speak.

The thrush is getting better (thank you God, I was so close to having to quit breastfeeding from the blinding pain of it), and will hopefully be completely gone soon.

Got a letter today that...well, I'll just say it caught us off-guard, but I'm going to do what I can and just pray it takes care of it..don't want to go into more detail then that the trolls and posers get a kick out of the hard stuff anyway, no need to give them more.

I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of it right now (Hell's Kitchen finale on..LOL).  Take care and lovin's :)~
