December has been a busy month for us as I am sure for many people. B had his last few weeks at school and his Christmas concert. Let me tell you he was very very excited for the holidays this year.
B did end up getting sick the night after his school concert, stomach flu, and he missed his last day of school party :( I tried to be so careful about sanitizing and washing hands but I still came down with something myself the night of my family Christmas diner. We were all feeling ok for Christmas Eve and morning. SO much anticpation for that one day. B was bouncing off the walls. C was a bit more hesitant as she has been scared by the various Santa's we have seen this season. She said "no Santa" a lot.
Christmas Day was a hit for both of the kiddo's. B got his much wanted lego cargo train and several other sets. C got some Minnie Mouse toys, a Gymbo and bedding for her big girl bed. I got lots of Chocolate (like I need it) a coat and a gift card for the spa (I do need that lol) We were at my sisters for diner and I was striken with the most horrible gas pains ever and they lasted for several days in varying degress of discomfort up till today fx!
We left on Friday for our winter vacation. I had us booked into a nice hotel in the mountains. Our days were full of activities and left me needing another vacation....maybe without kids this time lol. We just arrived home today and have been busy taking down Christmas decorations and of course unpacking. Our kitties were very happy to see us.
I've been having a bit of a difficult time lately. I am getting frustrated easily. B is a handful at times but he has his sweet moments. C of course has her moments but she is very typically toddler. Defiant and stubborn. I am being honest here when I say attachment with a toddler is difficult. I've been thinking a lot about going back to work and finding childcare. I did have a lead but nothing firmed up yet. That is stressing me out a little. I have also thought a lot about ttc again once back at work and I know having 3 really isn't ideal.....and I am really over this toddler stuff right now, but then I wonder if I will regret not trying at least. If we try and it doesn't happen then I can be ok with that. If it does, and we actually end up with a new baby.... well I am sure things will work out as they usually do, maybe with a little bit of sacrifice.
On the school scene for me. I took a little break while we were on holidays but I should be getting back to it. I am finished reading the first section, just about done my assignment and need to focus on the quiz and book the first midterm. I am really hoping to get the majority of this course under my belt before i go back to work as it is a lot of material.
Gavin's day is coming up really quick. I have been thinking about it and remembering what I was doing 4 years ago. Right about now I was sick with a very bad cold. I was miserable. I remember some hard coughing and then feeling wet and wondering if I had peed myself or something else. I really wish I could know how/why all of the events transpired. Put my mind at rest....I am hoping to do a montage for G's birthday. We did have big news this year. I've been putting it off though. Maybe because I am running out of G pics to post in it :(
Anyhow I think that is all the update for now. I'll finish up with some pictures.
