33 Days Until Christmas ......

Today marks..........

And only FIVE shopping weekends until Christmas!  

I started putting out Christmas decorations this week and it makes me happy.   Decorating for Halloween and Christmas makes me .......... HAPPY. 

Dennis says I've been really down lately - just haven't been myself - and that the visit from my friend really helped.  And it did. 

I'm just having a hard time with finding time to do the things I enjoy right now.  So I have been making it a point to.   I've been playing SIMS again ...  and I've been reading a lot, (not going to make my 25 books in 2012 goal.)  I agreed to do a couple of photo shoots .... including a pregnancy one and then the birth/newborn photos.  She wants me to go to the hospital while she's in labor - so that will be exciting.  We're good friends so I might bring Dennis with to support Papa-to-be-again, too ... if he's up for it - whenever this little one decides to make it's appearance.  IT cuz it's a surprise!  Go Team Yellow!  Or is it Team Green?   Either way - it's not Team Pink or Blue though.   Even though I'm hoping for Team Pink so I can kidnap her and keep her as my own. 

I'm thinking - still just a thought at this point - at 5pm - cuz I won't be doing it until the little ones go to bed... more to the point, the Autistic one....  about putting up our tree tonight.  Since we're going to be at my Mom & Step-Dad's tomorrow and putting up their tree... I'm not sure I'll feel up to putting our tree up ...  sooooo ....  I'm thinking ...at this point.  Cuz it's tradition to do it on Thanksgiving.  So I might do it at midnight - ha ha.... . 

I'll be posting my 22 Days of Thanksgiving .... too :)    I'm going to TRY to post each day until the end of the year ....  to get into the habit of blogging again. 

Today I officially started my Christmas Cards.  I love doing Christmas Cards ... and I write a holiday letter each year updating on everything going on.  Updating on all the medical going-ons ....   speaking of medical goings .....    Nathan got his hearing aid's .... I'll be putting that post up over at My Unique Flowers later (probably after Thanksgiving) ...   but here is a quick peek.  

He kept saying "WOW" over and over and over.....  my mom ended up taking pics with her cell phone cuz my camera disappeared for awhile..... 

And .... my lovely husband may FINALLY FINALLY have a diagnosis.  And it's not what they've brushed it off as.  I'll say more when we know for sure ... but...  it fits like a glove.  There is no cure, but ....... with a diagnosis there is hope.  

With this ..... I'm going to share an adorable photo of my youngest that I took on Monday .... 

I'm Alive ... and SIMS 3

Okay - so I took a break. Forgive me? I've had a hard past couple weeks. Just been tired and dealing with a lot of stuff. Some of which I don't want to get into... don't worry, nothing is wrong with Dennis and I - we're awesome. I'm not pregnant... and all the kids are as healthy as they were before. Nathan has gotten a lot more clingy and Kaedyn is TOTALLY on the move now. He won't cuddle anymore. He wants to explore! Wahhhhhhhh

That and I've started playing SIMS 3 ... oh boy - help me! LOL... it's addicting. My girlfriend and I got this idea of sharing the stories of our SIMS. So we started a blog to do it on. There is a lot on there already, we've only had it up 2 days. Of course no one is reading it but us... LOL... it's hilarious. We have "family" sims... we have cheating sims ... we have hard knock sims... we have sims who don't seem to know what they want. We've slowly started sharing their stories and catching up on those that we've developed a bit.

If you want to check it out .... please do so.... your more then welcome to do so :)

I was up until 3 last night, and it wasn't even because of SIMS. It was because of my husband. First, I was tried, but NOT tired... but I closed out my game, in the middle of building a house, and went to bed with Dennis. Just as I was starting to fall asleep - he got up and asked me something. So I answered... fell back to sleep and he got out of bed waking me up. Then he was up searching the house for something until 2 ... and I couldn't sleep without him. So I went and sat in the living room watching him search until he finally decided to go to bed. So we went back to bed, tv went on - let's watch something - veg out and fall asleep. So he starts watching this show that doesn't trill me at all - and of course does the opposite of relaxing me. So after awhile, I do end up falling asleep. Then next thing I know, Nathan is coming into our room, crying with his blanket.... and Dennis pop's him in our bed ... I'm half asleep so I just curled him up with me and rubbed his head. Finally we all fell asleep... we don't have a family bed, and I hope this didn't start something. Nathan has a VERY hard time sleeping in his bed lately - no clue why. :( He's been sleeping on the couch... ::sigh::
