Where Has This Week Gone?

-
Oh, the time is just flying by these days. So much Christmas stuff to get done mixed in with all the daily duties. I'm realizing that my big list of things to do before Christmas has now turned into the big list of things to do NEXT WEEK.

December is one of those months that I want time to just soak up all the holiday fun, make lots of memories, but I find myself just running in place trying to keep up. I had lots of fun plans in my head for the kids, but just not sure they're not going to happen. Good news is I KNOW what they will remember the most is having everyone here together the week of Christmas. And that's the most important memory of all.

So I've mentioned the whole sleep thing like a bajillion times over the course of the last several years. For the first time ever it seems to be affecting my driving. As in, I've fallen asleep two times at the wheel this week. Talk about scary! Not sure what we're going to do, but I have a feeling it needs to be mentioned to Dr. W because not only have I fallen asleep, but I have seriously struggled to stay awake and find myself having difficulty focusing on the road. Between getting the kids to and from school plus all my appointments in Nashville, I spend alot of time driving 75 mph on the interstate. Not being able to focus is not a good thing.

I had a B1G1 free coupon that was expiring for Pei Wei so since I was in town for chemo, I made an extra trip over to that area and brought home take-out for a little impromptu date night with Brian. I surprised him when he got home (he's had to work late 3 nights this week for parent/teacher conferences). The kids had strict instructions to watch a little Netflix and then tuck themselves into bed. Brian and I ate takeout and watched the latest Survivor episode. I'm loving Lisa Welchel this year, but not sure she's going to win.

Tell your doctor! I used to fall asleep at the wheel. After two sleep studies I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea. I've been using a C-Pap machine for several years now. It changed my life.

I agree wholeheartedly about the speed that December seems to gather as the weeks pass. I love this time of year and it just goes too quickly.

Blogging, Not Blogging

Blogging feels awkward these days. Not blogging feels a bit like abandoning an old friend. In this season of life it doesn't feel necessary to jot down every cute quip (and that's only partially because they don't say nearly as many cute things). The kiddos (even that is strange - can I still call a 12 and 9 year old kiddos?) are more likely to say "don't put that on your blog!" Rory still likes the attention, but Camden is feeling the need for privacy. But they also still love to read my words. Not a week goes by that they don't pull out blog books from previous years and pore over the pictures and words. Rory giggles and retells the stories; Camden quietly takes in the tougher subjects. Here's the truth. I have less to share because life is both busy and unexciting at the same time. I cannot distinguish between what is important to remember and what will be meaningless in 20 years when Camden and Rory are grown with families of thei

Cousins, part 3 (the adult version)

-

So I'm notoriously bad about including adults in the picture when we're all together, and this trip was no exception. Here are the very few that include adults. Becky is always my test subject before the cousin photo shoots. At the baseball game (which was incredibly hot/humid and started nearly an hour late). Kids were pretty wiped out after their naps following the return from camp. (the adult who spent a week at camp might have been tired too) Camden had the camera and took these pictures of me and Becky, Liz, and mom. Lewis/Hale/Derby/Lemons family - you're all caught up!

7/52: Pastel

This week's theme was pastel and there's not a whole lot of pastel in our house, much less with my black-eyed, black-haired Korean gal. However, she gave me about 10 minutes of cooperation in 10 degree weather and we attempted a pastel snow picture. The first one is my official pastel picture, but I included the other attempts because it was pretty darn fun. This is a new face I'm seeing often these days. By the way, she has 3 shirts underneath this dress, a pair of pajama pants and a pair of hot pink sweat pants. LOL
