In true Chrissie fashion I am late posting this, as in, it should have been posted on April 15th. In my defense I have been sick and working like crazy to catch up, with no energy so I forgot it was in draft mode. Ok, moving right along.
This is Aashley, she just turned 10! Holy COW double digits here we come! I have been teasing her about reaching the double digits and she very nicely said to me, “Aunt Chrissie, stop it! You’re making me feel old!”
But I can’t help it, I am the one that feels old! I spent many a weekend with her back in my single days. I had to cancel going to her birthday party this weekend because I was feeling so crappy. So her gifts are sitting here wrapped and waiting and it sucks not being around the block anymore…
I love ALL my nieces and nephews, but she was my first niece and I have such a soft spot for her I can’t begin to tell you. She is beautiful, funny, sarcastic, creative and so many other things. I see a lot of myself in her, it must drive my sister CRAZY, hehe.
My own kids are 16, 14 and 7 – where does the time go? Lately it really feels like time is flying by. Happy very late Birthday to my Niece that I love and Adore.
In other news, I’m going to live :) I go back to the doctor tomorrow to officially talk to her, but it’s not what they thought. Apparently I have sinus disease and I just finished my shitty antibiotics thank god. I still feel crappy, cranky, tired and headachey, but I think I am learning to live with it. But I assure you I am still charming ;)
Thank you to everyone for their thoughts, comments and emails. I appreciate it more than you know.

Just had to fill you all in on this. Yestrday was bring your child to work day so I brouth Aashley. We were sitting there and she walked over to the other desk and said what is that grandma? I said your kidding, right. She said NO. It was a typewritter, I felt like my mother and grandmother combined into one old lady, LOL. Bye for now,
She’s a beauty!
