Well all, I guess it is about time to update everything going on. Christmas was bitter sweet. Melody adored it. She still plays with pretty much everything from Christmas everyday. She loves going in her room and watching movies with mom.... it is nice for me because there is a lot less fighting to get her to bed and we spend time together almost every night. She absolutely adores dance and told her pediatrician recently that she wants to be a dancer when she grows up. Now she is questioning me as to why she has to start school and learn to read and write if she is going to be a dancer.... What does dancing have to do with reading and writing??? I've been having a lot of fun telling her all the reasons going to school will help her being a dancer.
For the bitter part... as most people know there have been issues with my husband's empoyment and they continue.... I spent the Friday before Christmas in the ER and the doctors never did figure out what was wrong with me but they were able to get me stablized and sent home to rest which, of course, I didn't do. The next day, in my weekness, fell down the stairs at the family Christmas party and landed with my foot buckled under me which, promptly, my foot turned purple. Did I go in like I should have and have it x-rayed? Of course not. I did see my doctor today and he checked it out and informed me that I have upset some nerves in my foot but it will hopefully continue to heal... and the best news.... the screw that was put in my foot 1 year ago is still in place. Whew... dodged surgery.... add in the extended family illnesses, etc. and the holidays weren't very sweet.
Let me go back to the sweet now. So many people have come forward in our lives and blessed us with wonderful gifts that have allowed us to keep food in our tummies, a roof over our head, and utilities to keep the house warm and bright. I will never be able to show enough gratitude for everyone's help, prayers and well wishes. Let me say now THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
