I couldn't even tell you the last time I leveled up.,,I wouldn't be surprised if it was a year ago! Well, the kids Christmas break is coming to an end. They start back school tomorrow. I just tell them each day gone brings you closer to summer vacation. I enjoy being home with my kids. They have a few spats from time to time but for the most part it's enjoyable so I'm a little sad, as well, when it comes to an end. Anyway, Tuesday is my endoscopy. I have to go in at 10 a,m. and the hubby is going to drive me. Hopefully, everything checks out ok. All of my other tests have come back fine. Also, my stomach doesn't hurt as much as it was but still has its moments, Most people I talk to tell me it's all a part of the healing process but the doctor wanted to be sure. I've had blood tests and a MRI which all came back normal. So at least I know in other aspects I'm healthy....hopefully time will heal all wounds. Wish me luck.

This is also a birthday month for the hubby and I. He'll be 41 on the 11th and I'll be 29 (again) on the 26th. So already his birthday is right around the corner on Sunday! He's on vacation till that Monday. He's been on vacation since the day after Christmas, He worked Christmas Eve...which left me wrapping presents and I always leave things till the last minute just call me Mrs. Procrastination LOL. The holidays just seem to fly by faster and faster every year. Next, for us anyway, is Mardi Gras which is February 24th. We usually just attend our local parade. It just gets a little too crazy in Metairie and New Orleans for our tastes besides we grew up experiencing it so it sort of becomes old hat if you get my drift. However, if you've ever thought of coming down to experience Mardi Gras I would recommend the parades in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, it's a little calmer and more family friendly then the French Quarter ones for sure. Although the Bacchus and Endymion parades are must sees. Here's a linky: http://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/parades.html Take care *hugs*
