New Addition to the Pickle Jar
Over the weekend, we welcomed a new addition into our family. He is 8 weeks old, an American Pit Bull Terrier and such a cutie...
Please say "Hello" to Rusty...
We are enjoying him and he is already becoming such a member of the Pickle Jar...

Okay, What's New?
So, its been a while since I've done an entry... I swear, I'm becoming a slacker at this whole journaling thing...
Anyways, I guess I should write about what is "new" or "going on" in the Pickle Jar...
Lets see:
* I am just getting over the flu - again. Yes folks, you read that write. I had the flu back in late January... and ended up with it again earlier this month. Last time the flu gave me bronchitis... this time I got a bit of the bronchitis again and a sinus infection. Oh god, sinus infections are so painful.
* Not only did I get the flu this time... but so did Derek, my parents and I think even Zach got a bit of it.
* Derek and Zach were both lucky and bounced back really quickly from it... but my parents and I weren't so lucky. We are still feeling the effects.
* Tomorrow I'm going to get my hair done... and then have an evening out with my friends for my best friend Amy's birthday.
* I'm really thankful that I'm going to get some Adult Time... it feels like its been FOREVER...
* It's not like I don't love my kids and love being around them... but sometimes, a Mama needs a break, ya know?
* Easter is Sunday - we don't really have any big plans. Derek works the night before and that evening... so we'll have a little Easter egg hunt in the morning and probably a breakfast... then he'll sleep. The kids and I will be going to my parents house that afternoon for Easter dinner...
* Mom thinks she is going to make Corned Beef and Cabbage because she didn't get to have it for St. Patricks Day, due to being sick. I told her that sounded great (I'm not much of a traditional ham person!)...
* The kids are excited... actually, I would say its Rowan more than anything... Zach doesn't really understand that Easter is on Sunday... I'm sure he'll be excited that morning... but Rowan is counting down the days!!
* Speaking of Rowan... she started T-Ball last week. Its so cute to watch those little munchkins run around and try to hit off a tee. I hope she has a good time...
* Pictures will be a must :)
SO, yeah, that is about all I can think of at the moment... I'm rather ready for my day to end...
I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday weekend...

Bullet Update... 'Cause I'm Too Busy to Do a Real One
*I'm finally feeling better - for those that didn't know, I had gotten the True Blue Flu - fever and fatigue for 3 days - and then developed Bronchitis.
*I still have a bit of a cough, but I'm so much better than I was!
*My kids have both been fighting a cough and Zach has had a runny nose as well. I really think he has allergies, but being in preschool does nothing in helping to NOT bring home germs.
*Rowan is doing amazing in kindergarten. Learning to read and just did her second "book report" - something similar, anyhow.
*She turned 6 years old (God, where does the time go?) on Jan. 23rd. We were going to have a birthday party for her that weekend, but because I became sick, we postponed it.
*Zach turns 3 years old - do I even have to say it?? - next Friday. He is becoming such a little man... so funny, so stubborn and so stinking cute.
*We are having a joint party for them on the 24th... just an early dinner with family and some friends. Rowan wasn't too hot on sharing a party, but as long as it is just this once, I think she'll be okay.
*My mom and I are having a girls day tomorrow. We are going to head up into the foot hills and visit some of the older mining towns up there... Going to hit up some yarn shops too :)
*She has to pick out yarn for her hat and scarf that she will be wearing when she is in Europe... and I think I'm going to look for some yummy yarn to make blankets for both of my kids. Something they can have for like, forever.
*But I don't know... yarn shops can have expensive yarn... and I don't know if I'm wanting to spend so much right now... lol
*Next Friday, Rowan, myself, Ro's friend and her mom are going to go see Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes. She doesn't know we are going... so it should be a very nice surprise for her!! I'm excited for her :) lol
*Okay, I can't think of anything else to throw out there - although I'm sure there is plenty... maybe I'll come back later and add another. Have a great weekend!
