Love the holidays, gives me time to really spend some good time with family! My kiddos especially. We have had some real fun, without spending very much mulah!! Which is good because when you don't have it, you can't spend it right?
My little K is growing so much! She is really starting to come into her own personality, instead of just being little sister or the baby of the family, she is becoming her own person. It is so cool to see your children grow up...
My R is recovering from a broken bone. She broke her Ischial bone. Don't know where that is at??? It is the bone that connects your hamstring to your pelvic bone. About six weeks ago, she was goofing around in the gym after school and pulled her hamstring so badly, that she broke the ischial bone off of her pelvic. OUCH is right. So for the last 6 weeks my teenager has been in either a wheelchair, or on crutches. :) Finally today at the doctor, they cleared her to start walking again. we go back soon to be released, so we are counting the days!
A is on the fence about returning to the college that she has been attending (and playing bball at) for the last year and a half. She really hasn't been happy there this year, so I am not going to push her back to somewhere she isn't happy, but I do want her to start making some grown up decisions and start acting like a grown up! Hard to make that last push ... but I am learning.
I love all three of my beautiful girls and it saddens me when they are hurt, or sad...I want to fix everything for them. I was told that I am the one really hurting them, by doing just that. So I am starting to restrain myself from being the crutch. That is one of my new years resolutions.
My sisters were both at my house over the holidays, with their families! We had such a great time! We are all so different, but still very close. Went shopping with my older sister and my two youngest and while we (me and my sister) sit up front and argued about traffic and the easiest way to get somewhere, I saw my girls sitting back there just shaking their heads...So I turned and just informed them, that even in your 40's you will still argue with your sister, but it doesn't change your relationship or how much you love them.
My mom and dad also made the trek down to the house that day too! The older they get the cuter they are...So blessed to still have my parents with me.
My hub for the first time in years, took vacation the week of Christmas. He was going to work on projects - but ended up just kinda kickin it with his family, and being under my feet. About drove me crazy!!!!!!!!! lol He was going to take the week after Christmas too, but I told him that we would either be divorced or one of us would kill the other (j/k people relax!) before our next anniversary - which is January 3rd. Needless to say he has been going to work every day this week. :) Aww the power of words!
It's getting late. Been up working on TWITTER account of all things. I am getting so social networked it isn't even funny.
Off to sleep .... zZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZZZ
