Don't expect this everyday!

Hello, I should be in bed right now since both my girls are actually asleep but instead I am up doing laundry. Last week I switched laundry detergent and the past couple of days Ally's eyes have been really icky. I don't know if she is allergic to the detergent or not but I am re-washing all of the laundry just in case. I am also making an appointment for her tomorrow to make sure we can rule out any other allergies or pneumonia. I guess a lot of upper respiratory stuff is going around and one of the first symptoms is the gooey eyes. I thought it sounded weird but I don't want to take a chance with it. Anyway, things have been really busy. I have been working out with DC every other day and on the days I don't work out I go and do light therapy(tan). It seems to help me a lot more than the counseling ever did. I am totally against going on medication though. It's just not something I want to get into. I am still working with my anemia. I often wonder if I will feel normal again and then I realize that this is as normal as it is going to get. I suppose it could always be worse. I love the Christmas season but it is truly stressful. I can't wait for things to be calm again. I just don't know when that will be. In January I will be alone with the girls for about three weeks because DC has to go to Utah for training. I have a feeling it is going to be a long month. I am so used to him being here to help me with the girls and now if Ally is really sick it is going to make things really hard. Like everything else I will just have to take one thing at a time and remember that he will be home soon. Maybe I can call Josie and Candace when I start to go insane and they can come to my rescue! What do you think girls?! Tomorrow is going to be really hard because it is the anniversary of DC's dad passing away. I think we are going to make tomorrow a family day and just try to have fun together. I just want to make things as easy for DC as possible. I know that he has been torn up inside for the past few days. I guess that is what it means when you say thick or thin. Our marriage is only growing stronger and I can't describe how happy we have been. Truly happy. This is the life I always dreamed of. If only I could slow it down a little! haha

Ok, Ok Here is a post!

Well things have been anything but calm around here lately. Allison is anxiously awaiting Christmas and Katelyn in working on getting ready to crawl. It's cute because I put here on her belly and she gets so frustrated. You can tell that she just wants to take off and find something to get into. I like that she is stationary for now though. Christmas is really busy for us this year. Saturday we are spending the day with the extended family on DC's side, Sunday we will be at my dad's, and maybe mom's, Monday we will have Carol, Diana, and the boys along with all the girlfriends and boyfriend over here, then Tuesday my grandparents will be here from Texas. I am going to need a vacation after all of that. I have been doing more parties lately and I am currently working to be a team manager and after that my goal is to become an executive director. I will get there eventually. Right now I am also really enjoying being at home with my girls. Allison is doing really well. We are just about potty trained, besides an accident here and there. She is also talking all the time now. We can't get her to be quiet for a minute. It's fun though. DC is going to be starting another job soon and will then be training to do the same thing that my dad does. Right now DC is also doing online courses and I will be starting online courses in January. Since my last post DC and I got married, we celebrated Ally's 2nd birthday, my dad went to Africa, Josie's dad passed away and just a lot of other crazy stuff. We also found out that I do have high chances of carrying another baby buy we have more risk to consider and the same thing could possibly happen again. Therefore, having another baby is still really up in the air. I guess we will just take things as they come. Oh yeah, we also are looking at buying our house and if things go as planned we will be remodeling and adding on to the house as soon as this summer. That's if things go as planned though. Well I spoze Ally is asking for juice now and I have some things to get done around the house so I will try to post more often. Gotta go for now.
