Hello Peoples
I know it is way late, but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Over here in good ole Georgia, we had a grand ole time. The twins got this awesome little kitchen setup....the thing looks so darn real. All they want to do is cook now, and make us some "coppee" (which is coffee in toddler language) The big girls did good too and seem to be happy with what they got. It is so hard to do the whole Christmas thing with them because they actually have specific things that they want now.....Santa just can't bring toys. ugh!!! I am really glad it is over though, and I hate that I feel that way. Christmas as a kid was always so great and I wanted it to last forever. But now, as a parent, with all the stress of shopping and how much money can I afford to spend on 4 children...the Christmas spirit just seems to get buried somewhere. And of course, I know that isn't the real meaning of Christmas, but it still winds up complicating things miserably.
Anyhoo....on a much suckier note....clumbsy me fell down my stupid steps trying to put away Christmas decorations.....*is of goof* Somehow I seemed to forget that there were 3 more steps to go down before I could actually reach the bottom. Needless to say, I landed sideways on my ankle....and it in turn made a loud pop. So as I squalled and rolled and squalled some more, I prayed to the good Lord above that it wasn't broken. Luckily I was able to get up and put pressure on it and move it.....until.....later that night, it swelled up like it had a golf ball stuck under the skin right at my ankle. Well, I put a brace on it, because I knew it wasn't broken, and stayed off of it for a day as much as I could. It is much better now, just sore and still a little swollen. Yes, that has been loads of fun.
So now, as we are trying to recover from Christmas and prepare for the New Year, I am looking back and wondering where the year went. I realize now, more than ever how blessed I have been. I truly can't complain. Yeah, I am broke, I worry about bills all the time....but hey....I am still here and God has made sure that I have what I need for each day. I am surrounded by my wonderful children, I have a husband that adores me, and my mama is still here to lean on when I feel like I am gonna lose it. I am blessed.
I want to say to each of you that I have come to know and love......I adore you all. I don't get to get on here much to tell you that, but it doesn't make it any less true. (does that even make sense....*goes back to check wording*)
I want to wish you all a happy and safe New Year. May this year bring you all the happiness and joy that you can handle.
xoxo
*hugs to you all*
