I found out on Wednesday that I have to have my tonsils taken out. They are doing the surgery (the only time I could do it until after next May), on the 2nd and the doc said I would be "down" for 15 DAYS!! Not looking forward to it, esp. with a 5 month old scooting around. Mom and Debbie (my sweet mother in law) are going to be here to help me out... thankfully! I did not realize what a "wonderful" time it was to do this! I will be missing out on SO much those two weeks. Two baby showers, Athenians ball, my brothers bday, Christmas bunko, "girls night," and three Christmas parties!!! Boo hoo!
Because of this, I started freaking out about Christmas. I LOVE Christmas!!!! I am "that girl" that clicks on Mix 103.3 (here's a shout out to Aunt Diane), on Thanksgiving Day and listens to "holiday" (i hate that word) music until it ends on the 26th of December. I listen to it all day long. I also LOVE the HOLIDAY music channel on Charter!! Matthew thinks I have issues, but I just love Christmas.
So, off my rant on music... I started thinking... If I am going to be out for about 15 days, that is Dec. 2- Dec. 17!!! That would leave me ONE week to get stuff ready for my favorite holiday of the year! Not gonna happen. So, me, who STILL has a million thank you notes to write, has put herself in Christmas gear. I have already warned Matthew that the day or so after Thanksgiving we, excuse me, I will have our house "Christmas ready!"
I took the opportunity today, to wake up and get started on a Christmas card picture. Not the easy task that it used to be. I, first, had to wet David's, what little he has, hair down to get rid of the mohawk his daddy has taken the pleasure of creating every night after bathtime. Then I went through the closets to ramble up any kind of item I could possibly use for a Christmas picture. Next I got on the phone with the person I call ALL THE TIME for advice, my mom, to see where I should go for the "taking." Finally, I got myself dressed, David fed and dressed and headed out the door to my mom's house.
I got there and the little buddy was ready to eat again. So, at 1:30 I feed him and stuck him in front of Praise Baby while I walked around the inside and outside of the house to find some potential spots. While walking around I realized I had forgotten the MAIN item of the day... the Santa hat!! What was I thinking?!? I hopped in the car, (yes, I left David watching Praise Baby... but the maid was there... that's okay, right??), drove across town, ran in my house and headed back. That "quick" little trip took, no lie, 46 minutes!!!! Insane...well, I got my gear and had mom get David ready and headed out with the camera. It was a LONG afternoon. Taking pictures was SO much easier when he didn't do anything but lay there and suck on his paci. So much for that!! The little boy who will not roll over for the life of me decides that is ALL he wants to do today... in EVERY place I put him! What is up with that?
I have to say... I did get a few good shots that I think I may be able to use. I have some of the pictures throughout this blog, but don't worry, the Christams card potentials are NOT on here. I wouldn't dare give that away! The day was so crazy, that on the way home, David fell asleep in the car. Matthew and I cooked dinner and FINALLY at 7:15 David woke up. He was SO fussy and I couldn't figure out why. I fed him sweet potatoes and english peas, which he scarfed down, but he was still so fussy. I couldn't figure out why. Then, I look at the clock, see that it is 7:30, look at Matthew with this face only he knows. And he says... "What?" Well, I had forgotten to feed him this afternoon!!! The last time he had eaten was at 1:30!! What a terrible mom. Oh, well,... he's fed, asleep and happy now, right?

Every time I see him I think he looks more like a little Henig...sorry Matthew :) I just want to eat him he's so cute! Sorry about your tonsils. It nearly killed Jeremiah (aren't I encouraging :)), but boys are babies. You've been through CHILDBIRTH, you can handle it!
Haha. I forgot to take Sipsey's bottle to her first professional photo shoot and couldn't figure out why she was crying in almost every picture! Picture-taking can be stressful. David is precious. I'm sorry you have to have your tonsils out. But Abby's right; you've been through childbirth. Hopefully it'll be a breeze!
so cute, and I"m the exact same way about Christmas music...Trey laughs at me too! Good luck with your tonsils, please let me know if I can do anything. I know you have a lot of help but I'd love to if you need me to!
So sorry you have to have surgery! I have had my tonsils taken out~it isn't fun! I am glad you have lots of help! And we have been playing Christmas music here too! Our directv channel already has it going. Dru thinks I am nuts! David is so adorable!
