Another Break

Michael is having surgery and things are hectic right now. Shall return hopefully on February 1st.

Well...

It has been hectic. I have spent so much time handling business and catching up on things. Michael had an Audiology appointment on Monday, speech therapy on Tuesday and his Pre-Op appointment today. It was a very busy day and also past 3 days. The other thing is, the hospital receptionist didn’t give me back Michael’s medical card which means tomorrow I need to call them to have it mailed. Oh well, that’s life right?

January 5, 2009 Blog Prompt: Today is National Bird Day. What is your favorite bird and why?
I don’t have a favorite bird. I just like colorful ones.

January 6, 2009 Blog Prompt: This month is Get Organized Month. Name 3 things you need to organize and your strategy for doing this.
Oh man this is the perfect prompt for what I have been doing lately: getting organized. I didn’t really have a system. I just knew certain things needed to get done and I did them. I had laundry, important calls to make and situations that involved Michael.

January 7, 2009 Blog Prompt: Today is Old Rock Day. What is the oldest thing that you have? Please describe it.
The oldest thing I can think of right now is my infant quilt. I am 31 now (almost 32 in 3 months) and I still have my quilt. It’s brown, ivory and pink on the outside, pink on the inside and has thick, ivory threading around the edges.

It's the Weekend

I had a typical winter weekend. Meaning everyone pretty much stayed indoors. You can’t do much with heavy fog and rain. We had church service this Sunday as we always do. All in all, things were decent.

Starting the New Year

Things are just going as usual. Nothing major or special except Christopher bought Elijah his first walker. It’s exciting for me. Other mothers might understand this.

January 2, 2009 Blog Prompt: Today is Fruitcake Toss Day. Have you ever eaten fruitcake? What are your feelings about it?
Well, the ones in the stores don’t taste good to me. Now my maternal grandmother makes really tasty fruitcakes. She first get fresh fruits, grinds them up and have them soaking in rum for some time. Later she makes the batter and adds the fruit. Yummy!

I'm Baaack

Well it was a quick but nice break. Now to begin blogging again. My sons Michael and Elijah are growing up so fast. On December 29th, Elijah said “Dada” and “Daddy” for the first time. Michael’s speech is improving a lot, which I am grateful for. My family had a decent NYE. I on the other hand spent NYE and the morning of New Year’s Day in the ER. I have found out that I am diabetic. I am beginning to change my eating habits and lifestyle. Since I had gestational diabetes with Elijah, this discovery is familiar ground to me. Well, that’s life. Happy New Year’s everyone!
