Wow! It's been a long time since I've sat down just to type out what was on my mind. I'm convinced that having three small children has something to do with that. It's funny that it seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for Christmas last year, and here we are a year later and can you believe we haven't even put up our tree yet?? Only two and a half weeks left before the big day and I feel like I've just realized it is even December! How time flies!! I think maybe I've been looking forward to spending Christmas with my family in MI this year so much that I've kind of forgotten about what we usually do here. So, I have officially decided that no matter what we will be putting up the decorations this weekend. For many reasons I'm hesitant to even go through all of that, one being my crazy cats and another being my crazy almost 2-year-old. Christmas decorations do not get along well with cats and small children in case anyone was wondering. Generally we end up with a tree that is only decorated on the top half for those reasons. It seems to eliminate some of our issues. So this weekend it is. It is funny though how Thanksgiving just kind of came out of nowhere and before we knew it we were thinking about finishing Christmas shopping. I am steadily getting ready though and getting in the "holiday spirit" I guess you could say. This has always been my favorite time of year so it is odd for me to not already have everything done. At this point refer to the comment about the three small children :) ....
Today is a cold and rainy day. I really don't think we've seen the sun in about 3 days so I'm definitely ready for tomorrow's forecast! I will be headed to the doctor with Leah AGAIN in a little bit. That little child is going to be my medical disaster I can already tell. We have had nothing but ear infections and colds since October and are scheduled to see the ENT two weeks from today to discuss having tubes put in her ears. For most children that would be a completely routine procedure, but with her heart conditions I tend to worry a little more about her and how it would affect her. At this point we plan to cross that bridge when we come to it and try not to worry. That's what the doctors are for, right? I guess that's why we pay them so much anyways! Haha On a brighter note, I am thankful for the good medical care that we have had and that the problems that she has been dealing with are really considered minor. So, off to my weekly visit to the pediatrician! More later...
