My Birthday etc. etc....

I wanted to post a little about the past few days. So Saturday was my B-day, I turned 27. Friday was my brother Kevin's B-day, and he turned 30. So on Friday Rhianna, Mom, and me went by Kevin's new apartment in spartanburg. Rhianna had never visited an apartment complex before. She was absolutely fascinated by the view of the parking lot from the second floor. Lol, I love children they find joy in everything they do. Well, let me get back to my visit with Kevin. We have had a question we have asked each for the last couple of years. It started when I turned 25. My brother asked how it felt to be a quarter of a century old. I told him I felt the same as I did the year before. So I asked him how it felt to be 28, and he was depressed about getting older. So now every year we ask each other how it feels to be whatever age we are that year. I have always answered the same way. Kevin has answered each year differently. This year he says he feels good about being 30. lol He said he heard that 30 was a good year.lol

So on to Sat. Saturday was my B-day. I had a pretty good day considering I had a horrible headache all day long. Steven and I went to the flea market Saturday morning. I love to go to the flea market, you never know what you will find. All I found Saturday was some books for Rhianna, but I still love going. We also went to the Prime Outlet store in Gaffney. I didn't find anything there for me either, but found some adorable clothes at Gymboree for Rhianna.
That afternoon Steven, Rhianna, and I went to Fuji an ate. I love Fuji, it's my favorite restaurant! Rhianna wanted all of us to sit in the same booth since it was my Birthday. She wanted Steven to sit on one side, and her on the other side. I explained to her that we wouldn't be able to eat our food if we all sat on the same side of the booth. I love her sooo much, and I am so thankful that I'm her mother! The best gift I received on my B-day was three simple words. They were "Happy Birthday Mom". I couldn't have asked for anything more. She got me a card and cake that she picked out herself. So, needless to say I had a great B-day!

I haven't really done a lot the past couple of days, except go by Publix. I had a pretty decent shopping trip. Spent $11.77 and saved $62.89 I guess I will probably go and pick up a few canned goods they have on sale this week. Hopefully I will find some things really cheap. They are having a canned food drive at Rhianna's school, and we are hoping to donate some items.

Earlier in the week on Weds. I went to a Foster Care Rally in Barnett Park. I will have to blog more about that later on. Hopefully I will be able to post up a picture taken of my group standing with their cut outs of Children. I held up two cutouts of children for an hour in Barnett Park. The cut outs of the Children represent the 104 children in SC that go into Foster Care each week. So the purpose of the Rally was to bring awareness. The cut out children were holding up signs. One said "8 foster homes", and another said "My GAL is always there for me". The cut outs were a really good visual representation of the amount of children that go into foster care in SC.

So that about wraps up the last few days.

Blur of the last few days...

I have no idea where to start.....
I guess I could start by saying how thankful I am for my Family. Steven was in a car accident on Monday morning on his way to work. He walked away with only minor injuries. He has possible broken nose, and hairline cracked/bruised rib. His car was completely totaled. It was an older model car, but it was the car he drives in competitions. So, the car was his baby. He worked over a year putting the car together the way he wanted. He was actually going to be doing some more work on the rear end on Monday. So, now we have to worry about the insurance company paying what he actually had in the car. The accident was the other drivers fault. It was also her second accident within a month. She pulled out in front of him when he was only about a car length away. He was going around 45 mph, so I am very thankful he only had minor injuries.

So now let me jump into what the Doctor said about Rhianna today. We Went this morning and they did more blood work. This is the second time she has had blood work done within 7 days. The knot is not much better. I had to take her back to the Doctor on Saturday, and they changed her antibiotic. She was taking 2000mg of Cephalixen, and that hadn't budged the knot at all. So now she has been on the new antibiotic for about 4-5 days. There has been a little improvement, but not enough. They are still really concerned about her. So they are going to give the antibiotic a little longer. If they do not see a lot of improvement in the knot they are going to have it biopsied. So I am praying it will improve.
My nerves are in pieces with all this going on. I have to have faith in God, and know that things are going to work out.

I am really thankful for my In-laws help with all this going. Without there support and financial help I don't know what we would do.
