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
