Merry Christmas

This year I had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit. Usually I am ready to go around Thanksgiving. I didn't even get my tree up until the middle of December and is wasn't fully decorated until last week. It has been a trying time recently with Ben working crazy insane hours, dealing with the stress of finding new care for Katie while we work, taking our crazy allergic dog in for her third ear hematoma repair, dealing with anxieties and depression issues, and the list could go on and on.

But, as always, things seem to work themselves out whether I have a hand in it or not. We are starting Katie in preschool at the beginning of January, Charlie is recovering nicely from her surgery, Ben got notice that they are not going to be working over the next two weekends, the anxieties are lifting, and I am starting to see the light at the end of the depression tunnel. It helps having people that know when I need some words of encouragement or simply stating they are thinking of me. I know I don't have to go at life alone, I have lots of people that will help me. I just need to take the time to remember that.

I am soon to be an aunt. Little one is showing signs that he doesn't want to be inside any longer. He's about ready to meet the world and we are thrilled. We could have a Christmas baby yet!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope this season finds you well.
