Bless Your Heart

Thanksgiving came and went like a blur. It was tough with all these sweet kids running around and their parents doing a lot of hugging me and saying “Your time will come” and the oft repeated “there’s a special child out there just for you”. There was a lot of crying in the bathroom. But I expected it because I hadn’t seen these guys in real life for a while so I knew they just wanted to hug me.

We had 22 people at my inlaws’ house. We also had 2 deep fried turkeys, 1 roasted turkey, tons of side dishes, 3 different desserts, and a yummy cranberry casserole ( my favorite holiday dish) that I ate with relish as soon I will have to change my diet radically to help get this insulin resistance thing under control. I took tons of pictures that I will post soon once I weed through them all (165!). Friday was just as whirlwind with all the family still in town. Another big dinner followed. Saturday & Sunday Jon and I just collapsed and chilled, which I so needed.

I’m getting better, and hopefully my meds are starting to kick in a bit. But some things are still just really overwhelming. And amidst all the emotional stuff I’m dealing with I’ve also been dealing with a freakish girlie thing going on (for 5 weeks now) that’s freaking me out a good bit. I’m just so tired of everything happening to me. I’m tired of all the dr’s visits. I just want things to be normal again. I’m trying with all my might to make that happen. Thank God for my boy, my family, my friends, and my pugs.

Jon’s Gramy from Minnesota is in town through Saturday so we’re getting her for the day Thursday. What to do with an 82 year old for the afternoon? =)

Oh, and if you aren’t on my list already, email me with your address and I’ll be sure to send you a Christmas card!
