I have an idea to where all of the time goes - school, work, volunteering, cleaning house, shopping, kids, extracurricular activities, thinking, planning, etc .. aren't we all in this boat!? Ha! I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel like my world is in a constant "go" mode - why is that? I'm always telling friends of mine to "make sure you take time for yourself" and "no, you shouldn't feel guilty about not tackling everything on your to-do list" but I have to honestly say, those aren't words I usually live by and you know what? I should. Perhaps that ought to be one of my resolutions for the upcoming year - taking time for me and slowing down, just a little. It has been on my list for the past 3 years, maybe this year will be the year .. I doubt it :)
Things in the Miller household have been good - we have a lot going on, aside from everything else the month of December brings. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers and wish us the best.
Abby turned 4 last Sunday! And as you know, her birthday was something she had been looking forward to for months! She had a great day - lunch, a makeover, a movie, cake, presents - everything a little girl wants! Ha! It's been so much fun watching her grow - she is full of personality and on most days, attitude! She's definitely our spunky one, I think we've said that about her since she was born :) She's been begging us to let her go to school everyday - it's not happening. Not 'til Kindergarten. She's excited about Christmas (who isn't?!!?) and she wants everything she sees! Luckily for us, Abby is pretty happy with anything she gets ..
Our other 2 kids are good. David brought home straight A's on his progress report!!!!! He's been working on this project he has due before the Christmas break - he has to make up a planet, write a paper about it, and make a model of it. His choice: Planet Fizz - cute, right? I'm actually looking forward to him finishing it, he adds a little more detail to it everyday - he's done a good job :) Oh, he had a chorus performance last night, he did so good!! I should upload the video of one of the songs - he's gotten kick out of watching himself :) He's starting basketball in a couple of weeks and has begun the countdown to his 10th birthday ..
Molly has been very sweet the past couple of weeks. It's not everyday that I'll say that about her, it's actually been really nice - she is sweet as sweet can be or the complete opposite! I'll take it. She doesn't like keeping her shoes on these days, she'd rather wear someone else's :) Usually, she'll have one foot tucked into Jamie's shoe and the other, in one of mine .. she's been working with her therapist for an hour a week and I'm happy to say that we've already noticed an improvement - we have a long road ahead of us and for those of you that know, a tough one. Thinking of her and everything she has to go through brings tears to my eyes, let's just say that Molly is good and leave it at that ..
It's been cold in the sunshine state!!!! It's actually starting to feel like Christmas! And as an early present to myself, I am going through with my surgery and will be having it done on Wednesday - the DR seems to think I'll be unable to do much for a couple of weeks, I say we'll see about that. Ha!
And because my kids have been what's keeping me going (literally!!) and because I love them more then anything in this world: "Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be" David Bly
