Can you believe it’s Christmas already?\u00a0 I’m behind.\u00a0 Way behind.\u00a0 I always have grandiose plans of building glorious gingerbread houses, making glittery crafts with the girls, magical photos with Santa…the whole she-bang.\u00a0\u00a0 Some years, I get it together.\u00a0 This year, not so much.\u00a0 I love the hustle and bustle of the season so I’ll try to fit it all in in the next few days.<\/p>\n
We did finish our pink and silver spiral glitter sugar cookies.\u00a0 (You didn’t think the girls’ team would have traditional red and green cookies for Santa did you?\u00a0 Do we ever?)<\/p>\n
Few days. Yikes.<\/p>\n
Three days into Christmas break, and the girls are already in full-on summer sleeping regimen.\u00a0 Up until 10, when I force them to bed, and sleeping in until 9ish or later.\u00a0 Geez.\u00a0 It will take me weeks to get them back into school schedule.<\/p>\n
Also, in a few days, I’ll have my very last chemotherapy treatment.\u00a0 That’s also hard to believe.<\/p>\n
I know I’ll look back at this time and it will seem to have been just a blurb in my life.\u00a0 I feel the same way about my pregnancy with MC and the three years following.\u00a0 So many days spent in the hospital with her and so many nights worrying.\u00a0 Three open heart surgeries-done.\u00a0 It’s still hard to believe.<\/p>\n
I have dreamed twice now that I’ve had hair.\u00a0 It seemed so very real.\u00a0 The first dream, a few weeks ago, I had long flowing locks very similar to what I had pre-chemo.\u00a0 Last night I dreamed it was a darker brown and very short.\u00a0 Sassy.\u00a0 I plan on taking a photo a day (with a new 365 photo app) beginning on January 1.\u00a0 That’s my only new year’s resolution so far-remembering to take the photo.\u00a0 I’m keeping it simple.<\/p>\n
So speaking of simple.\u00a0 I was just interrupted by yet another unannounced visit from our plumber. (After his banging on the back door and ringing the bell continuously, I nearly tripped on Emmie running to grab my wig.\u00a0 So annoying-will not miss that.) He simply suggested we not shower or bathe at all in our tub.<\/p>\n
Our one and only tub, remember?<\/p>\n
He said, “You just may find yourself in the bathroom soaking in the tub one minute and under the house the next.”<\/p>\n
Does he realize that Christmas is this weekend and I have crafts to make and houses to ice?<\/p>\n
Oh well, I just hope it’s Mel when the tub falls into the floor.\u00a0 Ha.<\/p>\n
