Fiddle Dee Dee
Well, you may think my absence has to do with my depression over Z's upcoming surgery, but instead, I've turned it around and decided to live it up until then. What good does it do to dwell on it? I'm like Scarlet O' Hara and saying "I'll think about it tomorrow..." So far, it's working. (Working so well that I keep forgetting to work out the final details like requesting the Ronald McDonald house to stay in...I guess I need to find a balance, huh)
We've been keeping busy having the time of our lives
The twins were sharks for Halloween. I had in mind to make a shark theme post, since at the same time I also had a picture of a shark bite victim (the patient gave permission) but I didn't want to gross out you folks who don't like blood and gore.

The next day it was my bday and I had a few days off so my friend and I took the twins to Las Vegas for 4 days. I got to see my mom, aunty, and long lost older brother who just retired from the Navy. Here we are after stuffing ourselves on all-you-can-eat buffet. Needless to say, I have another ten pounds to lose now : (

Mom was kind enough to watch the twins one night while we tried our luck. I came out ahead for once...

We took the twins to Peter Piper Pizza, which is almost as good as Chuck E Cheese. They had a blast

Back at home we've been hitting the beach a lot and having tons o' fun

yesterday we had a picnic with shaving cream fight for a friend's birthday

The kids joined in on the fun too

And...finally....I have a secret. I think maybe telling you guys might help light a fire to get me going again. It's gonna take a lot of effort but I really want to do it. I'm going to try and go back to school to be an EMT. (work the ambulance) Here's the girls dropping by our picnic yesterday. Can you see me doing that??
