I always have a hard time trying to come up with a title for my blog entries. So today there isn't one!

I hope that everyone is having a good week. This week has been going well. Carly Barly was home this past weekend and we had a nice time. Mitchell had his State Championship Meet which went very well!

Its another rainy day here in Mattapoisett. I'm so looking forward to the summer! I'm also looking forward to March because we are going to Florida for a couple of days! It will be nice to get away and for Brett and I to see his family!

Quick post, I have to get ready for work and have some breakfast! Have a great day!

Love,

Erika

Happy Belated Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day! I hope that everyone has a nice day. This was the first year since Brett and I have been together that we got to spend the whole day together. He has usually been working in the past!

We woke up at the crack of dawn to go to Mitchell's Sectional Meet in Boston at MIT. They did an awesome job!! Go Mitchell!!! Afterwards we went to Fanuiel Hall. Brett had never been to Boston so we had lunch there and walked around. We made a cute monkey at Build a bear with two hearts in it. I love it!!!

We were both exhausted so we started to head home! We were only home for a few minutes to rest and take care of the pets and then we headed out to dinner. We had a gift card to Texas Roadhouse. I know it isn't a romantic place, but we had fun. It was an early night for us which was really nice.

I really had a great day yesterday! Today we are both off again and it's a day of catching up with things and going to look for curtains!

Have a great day!

Love,

Support Group

After going back and forth on if I wanted to go to my support group I decided to go. I'm happy that I went. I know that I always feel better going. I think that it is the anxiety leading up to it that gets me. It's a safe place for me where I can talk and people know exactly what I'm going through. I also have to remind myself that it hasn't even been a year since we lost Connor. Its ok to be where I am in my grieving process. I definitely have my good days, but then there are those bad days I'm still having, not as bad as they use to be so that is hope that it is going to get better.

On another note I'm looking forward to the weekend! Its going to be a nice long weekend! Tonight I work till 600ish so I think that we will just hang out at home. On Sunday we will be heading up to Boston bright and early for my Brother's Sectional Swim Meet. Depending on the weather and how tired we are we might stay after and walk around Boston. Brett has never been and with it being Valentines Day I think that it would be a nice thing to do! I'm going to enjoy Monday and just relax!!! This is the last long weekend until May! But I'm taking one of my vacation weeks in April. So I have that to look forward to!

I'm so proud of myself that I have wrote a multiple posts in the last day or so. Its funny how I can go weeks without writing but then go to town with writing them in one day. One of my 2010 Resolutions was to blog more. I'm trying to get into it more! I'm hoping that I will have more to blog about as the year goes on!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Biggest Loser Challenge!

At my work we are starting a Biggest Loser Challenge! We weight in for the first time next Tuesday. I'm very excited about this because I really need to lose weight. There are multiple reasons why I need to lose weight! I hope that it goes well. The end prize is $100. I will give weekly updates so that it holds me accountable for losing the weight.

Wish me good luck!! I have the weekend to indulge before Tuesday!!!!

Ok I'm done for the night. I have posted way too much for me!! Off to my support group.

G'night!

Pictures!

Here are pictures from the last night!

Maggie thinking that she is still a puppy and wanting to feel safe in a cage that isn't hers!

Brett looking so smart while reading the newspaper last night during our "Blizzard".

This was taken last night too!

My Dad and I

I'm having issues with picking a background for my blog. I'm just not happy with any of them! I don't know why! So I hope you like this one. It is generic but it is just in time for Valentines day!

Is It Spring Yet?????

Once again we are getting snow. I hope it doesn't accumulate to anything. It doesn't look like it right now, but who knows with this New England weather! We are on the last day of house sitting and boy has it been interesting!! The first night was just me and the dogs and we were good! The second night Brett was here. We locked ourselves out of the house with the puppy and didn't have any way of getting back in. Our dog was in the house. Too bad we haven't trained Maggie to unlock doors, it would have come in very handy!! So we had to walk to the local police station. I don't know how long of a walk it is maybe a mile or 2? But it was very cold and dark. I had only flip flops on so I switched into some big boots and started on our walk. Once we got to the station, which felt like we were never going to get there, we called my dad aka Mitch Macgevor. He came and picked us up and we tried for the second time to get into the house. After a couple of tries we used something that I won't say because I don't want any crooks to get any ideas, but we were in the house. So overall it has been a good time, but there is never a dull moment with the Osetkowski family.

Our dog has gone home for the rest of the weekend. She doesn't like to get humped!!!! I'm going to go relax. The puppy is sleeping! Don't want to wake him!!

Have a good weekend!

Love,

March for Babies!

I have been having a hard time trying to find something to do so that I could give back and volunteer for. So I was looking around online and found the March of Dimes has a March for Babies every year. There are lots of places that do the walk, but I found one close to our home on the Cape Cod Canal. I have formed a team called "Our Little Monkeys. It isn't until June 27 (my cousins Lauren's birthday), but I'm really looking forward to it and I'm so thankful for all the people who have responded to it that is going to walk or have donated to the March for Babies. Thank you!

Hopefully this will be come a yearly tradition that we can all do and maybe each year our team will get bigger! Here is the link if you want to find out more information for March for Babies or March of Dimes. www.marchforbabies.org/team/t1366282.

I'm looking forward to the rest of this week. We are house sitting for a 11 week old black lab. I told Brett that this will be a true test for when we get a house and he wants to get another dog for Maggie. So Maggie is coming with us and Gator (our cat) is going next door to my parents!!

Off to get somethings done before bed. I hope you all have a great Wednesday!!

Love, Erika
