As I sit here by myself on Christmas morning drinking a great cup of coffee before everyone gets up, I am reflecting on my life and the past year. It has been a wonderful year, full of excitement and love. I am so thankful for everything that I have. I have always been one of those people who realize what I have as precious, I've never had to say I wish I would have done this or that because I always made sure I did everything to make my families life great. As I grow older though, I see how fast life does pass you by. My children gave me the most beautuful blanket for Christmas last night and on it were pictures of the three of them throughout the years. I bawled like a baby when I opened it because I wonder how come it all had to go by so fast. I looked at every picture and thanked God for the years that we have had together and began to think about the years we have coming and the changes we have to look forward to. More marriages (3 more kids will get married eventually no matter what they say), grand children, traveling, growing old with a fabulous husband, and just enjoying life to the fullest. Of course I miss the small things like Santa visiting, and the excitement of getting up at 5 in the morning, putting out letters for santa and cookies, but I treasure that I know my kids love me and would do anything for me and we can still spend precious time together.
So I guess what I'm saying is... enjoy your kids and your life. Don't let the craziness of life let time pass and then you look back and say you missed out on so much. Let me be the first to tell you that it will be gone in a flash if you don't open your eyes and see the joy of having kids. I miss my babies but I treasure the fact that I loved them so much and now as they grow older I see that they have great love for me.
Merry Christmas to all of you!! I will get back to regular blogging as soon as the holidays are over. Thanks for being patient with me as I've struggled with this dizziness issue and think of me as I go back to the doctor this coming week for 2 more MRI's and additional blood work. I already miss my school babies and can't wait to see their smiles and hear of their wonderful Christmas when we get back to school.
Love Mrs. C
