Why I Will Always Love Christmastime...
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right? ~ Charles M. Schulz
Well, for starters, 20 years ago today, my father gave up drinking for good. Maybe later when I have more time, I'll write about that day ~ one of the rare good moments from my childhood that I actually remember.
Next, last year on this day, I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter, Katelyn. And exactly 8 months later, she was born.
And, my son Nathaniel was a little over 3 weeks old on his first Christmas... so he and his lil sister are forever my lil Christmas Babies!
Last, but definitely not least, I have Jon in my life. And he is wonderful... even when his knowitall-ness drives me batty ~ I still love him dearly.
In miscellaneous news, I am going to start a new project after the holiday insanity winds down: Operation Re-Boobie Baby. I talked with a lactation consultant from Fairview Hospital yesterday, and she told me that to rebuild mah milk to get Katey back on Teh Boobz for good, I need to take 3 fenugreek capsules 3 times a day (I researched fenugreek online yesterday and I discovered that the only side effect from taking that much fenugreek is that I'll smell like maple syrup! LOL) . She said after about 3 days I should notice major improvements. Gr00vy, eh? I'm just so sick of the formula... it costs too damn much.
Well, Jon & I got to figure out how we're going to get to the store today to pick up the last minute odds & ends for tomorrow's dinner... most importantly ~ Teh ham! =)
Got to go for now... t00dles!
