Wednesday-The day did not start out so well. The chimney work was done yesterday and that was a bigger job than I thought and costed a LOT more. I woke up today without heat. So no hot water either. I got the repair guys to come and went to move my car and the car sputtered and would not start. I eventually did but I had to leave it at the dealer today. I have a rental. When it rains it pours. We do have heat, boiler all fixed so hoping that stays that way. I am so tired from the stress. I feel beat up! But all is working or getting fixed. I stopped home for lunch. I had talked to Cody on the way home and told him he should have a lunch fixed for me. I opened the door and smelled food. He cooked some old leftovers for me and had it all set up. Very sweet but I could not eat the food. He is going to make a great husband some day.

Tuesday-Cody got the best news today-he got accepted into Dowling with a scholarship!! He did not have to take the SAT either. SO proud of him and he is so happy. Now we have to get the rest of the money to pay. Lots of scholarships to apply for. But I am happy for him!! He went with Brittany to his school's basketball game and had a good time.

Monday-Back to work and it was a tough one. It is hard to get up. Cody did well and the day flew by. It will take a few days to get back into the swing of things but all seems good so far.

Sunday-We got lots done today. We still had to make our way through the snow but I tried to get lots done so I could be back at work and have a good start to the week. Not ready for the vacation to end. Cody said he liked having me home too. He was mushy tonight and said he could not have gotten through this without me. I told him we are a team and this is what we do. He replied "Yes, but you are a captain!" He is so funny and so appreciative. Love that boy!!

Happy New Year! What a nice day to just stay home and that is what we did. It was a nice, relaxing day. Hope this year is a good one for all of us. Cody and I talked about resolutions and he wants to get stronger and be more in charge of his meds. I am with him!

The afternoon was not so great. We were able to watch everyone speak about Cody's grandfather at the wake/ceremony. It was sad to see the grandkids speak. Once I saw Casey there in uniform I got upset. He spoke on Cody's behalf and did a great job. He also spoke for himself. Nicole did too and I was proud of both of them. Love you all so much.

RIP Ron Byrnes

Friday-Happy New Year. Today we hung out and did ichat with all his relatives in FL for the funeral. My friend, Jean stopped over and Lauren, Cody's friend that is recovering from leukemia came over. We all got lunch and did a little shopping. It was fun and a good afternoon. Cody and I hung out at home tonight and watched the Islanders win again which was great! We did not make it up till midnight. At like 10:30 we pretended it was New Year's and did our countdown and went to bed! So funny. So here's to a happier and healthier 2011! Here's to a safe deployment for Casey and an even safer return. We are looking forward to his visit in February!!!

Thursday-We are enjoying our week off and just keeping a close watch on Cody. He seems fine now and is back to eating. We bought 2 new games for his Kinect Xbox and one is dancing so we are having fun with that. Quiet day and enjoying the time off.
