I'm so excited!

We sat down with the architect this week. When we get the cost break down completed we can closer the deal and start digging.

In other news-
Christmas is down. The house is clean.

I am NOT sick anymore. I sometimes cough (hear bark) if I laugh to much *like when watching America's Funniest Videos* but over all I am back to me. Yay!

I started a new treatment for my Rheumatoid Arthritis and I get two extra hours a night to feel good. Boy do I hope this continues. I could actually start walking more, you know, like for exercise! I miss that.

My brother and his wife are buying a home closer to the rest of us. I might actually get tot see them more than 3 or 4 times a year!

One of my clients is going home. A major accomplishment for him. He has grown a lot.

Mini-me Monkey has reached another growing milestone. She was excited, but being sick has taken the life out of her.

Monkey Wrench has earned his driving privileges back. Yes, he knows he has the meanest mother ever. She makes him do chores AND pass all his classes in order to drive. Phone privileges will be granted when he can pay some of his bill. No more Mrs. Nice Mom.

Tree Monkey has begun to do her homework without being reminded. It's so nice to come home and see her started on it.

Did I mention that we sat down with the architect this week? Oh, sorry. Isn't it so exciting? We are looking at books of doors, base board, casing, windows, hardware, stair railing, etc.

Oh, and I missed my blog's 1st birthday. I hope there isn't a penalty for that. It just wizzed on by. It was November 23rd.

My New Year Resolution is to get through the next year. Would it be too much to ask that no one close to me dies so I can limit my funeral appearances?

Happy 2008!!!
