Almost Christmas Time?!?!?!?!?!?

I cannot believe how fast this year has gone! It is insane. I am sitting here watching the Army/Navy game and its hard to think it was just a year ago that K and I were there. Insanity. We have been through so much this year. Lots of downs and a few ups. I'm glad this year is ending on an up. :) The second pic is from exactly a year ago, the first pic is from yesterday. Exactly a year apart. Wow. Makes me feel good :)

Last year I couldn't button that jacket that I was wearing. It was tight. This year I am wearing it, buttoned. So many changes. :)

I have been working my butt off since Thanksgiving. C broke her arm. She was trying to teach J how to fly and she ran from the head of my bed to the foot of it and jumped off....she flew alright....right into the floor. Of course being Mom of the Year I told C that unless she was bleeding or her arm was broken she shouldn't scream like that so she went to lay down. About 20 minutes later she came into the living room saying it still hurt really bad. It was really swollen and she couldn't unbend it.....at the hospital all that made her better was picture time. I am so glad her Aunt P was there with us!! A couple days later we went and saw an amazing doctor who got C a hot pink cast. She was in pain, but she loved the color!!!

Oh that girl....she is going to be the death of me one day. HAHA

This surgery is still giving me ups and downs mentally. A friend of mine calls it the bipolar coaster. That is exactly what it feels like. Some days I am so excited that I am getting smaller and smaller and other days I am discouraged about the changes. Its hard to deal with but I am slowly getting through it. The bipolar coaster can take me on a long ride, but in the end I will get off on the up. I have amazing people around me to help get me through things.

After my last blog, a couple of my friends (that I didn't realize read my blog) told me that what I said about them made them emotional. We have talked more. I truly don't know where I would be without the people that have helped me write my life story. RP, BZ, EM, CH....you have all helped make me who I am today. I love you guys.

Now I have to go get Gramma's present with C and J :) We are all so excited about Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
