Since I didn’t do mail out cards this year I decided to do virtual cards Thank you for everyone that took the time to send us a card! We enjoyed each and everyone of them!
It’s that weird time between Christmas and New Years. We have nothing going on and we lost a day.
Let’s start Christmas Eve-Baelor came running down the stairs around 8:00 complaining of a tummy ache. He made it to the bathroom and started getting sick. We didn’t think much of it-he got sick a couple of times, napped and seemed fine. He said he didn’t want to cancel our family Christmas Eve since he was feeling better. 4-5 hours and he was good to go.
Christmas Eve afternoon our family came over. We had good food, laughs, trivia, and stories. It was a perfect night. After everyone left we watched a movie. Baelor put himself to bed and Trent followed.
Christmas Day the boys “slept in”. We made it until 8:30! The morning was perfect. The kids were excited. Bryan and I took it all in. We didn’t get many pictures because we were trying to be present in the moment. I cooked up a ham, my sister and Trent had made Mac and cheese to cook up.
My mom and sister came over in the afternoon. And we exchanged more gifts. Had some dessert and tea. And then it started. I really wanted two quarters of a cookie and ultimately decided I would treat myself.
The stomach bug reared its ugly head for me around 7:00-for Bryan it hit about three hours later. We were both down for the count. Trent was the last man standing. And he was a trooper.
Bryan and I made it through the night. But weren’t ready to face the day. lol. Good thing our kids like to sleep and it was the day after Christmas so they had plenty to entertain.
Trent laid low yesterday-up in his room napping-until he came down to use the bathroom. And the last man standing went down-he’s been sleeping on the couch since.
I don’t know what day it is….i think it’s Saturday I hope it’s Saturday since we need to go to the dump. I do know we are further along today than we were yesterday. So we are making progress.
I want to thank everyone that made this a special holiday for us! From reaching out to see if we need anything, last minute errands, gifts off their (and mine/bryans) wishlist, taking the boys for play dates, cards and the random texts. I hope that this wasn’t my last but if it was it was filled with love, happiness and joy. I’m not going to lie and say that it was a day that I forgot I had cancer because I didn’t….but it was a day that I accepted that I have cancer and this is our life. Our life filled with love. Family, friends, and communities.
