December 2010

I can't believe that it is already the Christmas season. I can't believe it has come by so fast. November was a hectic month for me because I had to have emergency surgery to get my appendix out. Painful and I don't recommend it. It was a little chaotic for me and especially for Wade and Noelle. Our lives got turned over backwards. It is not fun when the doctor told me I could not drive or lift anything over 50 pounds. You are talking about my day 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It was very miserable not to be able to do anything for the month. I was very fortunate though for the tremendous amount of help from the women at the congregation I attend. There was always someone bringing my family dinner or cleaning up the house for me. I was and am still very appreciative for the amount of help that I had receive.

So, it leaves me with the month of December to get everything ready for Christmas. It's now Christmas break and four days till Christmas. I know the kids are excited. I want to do a lot of fun activities while they are home for the break. I am going to try to do these things, or just going to force myself and deal with the migraines. For the past couple weeks I have been having ongoing migraines. The doctor put me on some medicine finally but it seems to work but only for a short time and now they are coming back even worse and quicker. I'm going to stop using them and set up a appointment again to see what they can do for my migraines. I am also going to try to make an appointment to get my wisdom teeth out and get an eye appointment to check my eyes. Hopefully one of these two things will help my migraines or lessen them.

Wade and Noelle are doing well. They have just completed their first music recital with the instruments they play: piano and drums. Both were quite nervous, but they did a fantastic job. Wade also had a choir recital which he was a dancing reindeer. He got to perform at his school and at Barnes and Noble. Noelle had her first dance recital and she did wonderful. Here are some pictures from their fun events.

Four days till Christmas and I think I'm doing okay. I still have wrapping to do and Christmas baking but that will get done. It has to get done especially for Santa. Wade is excited about Santa coming and we need to make sure we have sugar cookies and milk out for him when he comes on Christmas Eve.

I am excited though for this Christmas. My dad and his wife are coming with their friend and they might have my Grandma comes if and when she makes up her mind. My mom and her husband are suppose to come, but my mom says she has not been feeling good, so we will see what happens. Good night all and all a good night.
