Merry Christmas!!

Oh my word. I came down with the flu on Sunday OUT OF NOWHERE. My dad came over to visit, I made cookies and then when I was done I sat down to watch the football game and then I had a headache and sore throat come on suddenly. Monday morning felt like the worst head cold ever. Went to work. Took the kids to art camp. Monday night took a turn for the worse- fever and chills all.night.long. Body ached sooooo bad it felt like I had been in a car accident. Didn't sleep for 2 nights. Still went to work. Tuesday turned into the chest cough and snot factory. Still worked. Still finished Christmas stuff. AND...took them to their piano recital. Very Very bad attitude all week. I finally turned the corner today and slept for longer stretches last night. Had hubby's mom over for Christmas dinner tonight. Exhausted.

'Tis the Season....

Somehow I feel like I've just muddled through this Christmas season. Where does the time go?  Had Aidan's Christmas program this week. The days all seem to run together. Thankful for this little family.

Had the rug pulled out from under me. AGAIN. Not a fun end to my week and I'm not sure what to make of it or how to process. Some people do not change. So...a lot of perspective and decisions to make. I'm praying for peace and for my heart. I'm not in a good space.
 In other news the kids are great. My little loves. Trying to get through this Christmas season and manage time/places/activities accordingly. Month end and year end coming, still in the middle of a CPA audit. I've somehow lost 10 lbs and I assume it's from the past 6 weeks of stress. Abby had an eye appt this week. Significant change so I ordered new lenses. Wrapping presents. Another wind storm. Spent most of today in the kitchen making meals for the week and my annual girlfriend's brunch is tomorrow = egg muffins are a great option. My mom just had a bunch of tests done due to heart arrhythmia- all of the heart tests turned out good but they are attributing it to mini strokes. Ugh.

EIGHT.

The baby boy is 8 today! We had his party last night with 10 of his friends. They had the Duck game on so that was a bonus. We did breakfast with Santa this morning. Apparently I missed the window on that one because according to Abby, "it was lame." The Elf has been busy at our house. Aidan was really sick earlier in the week. One night I "slept" in his room only we didn't sleep. Brutal. Puppy continues to be adorable and both dogs play all the time.
