Sad that our week long break as a family is over.
Happy that I at least got my christmas cards mailed before New Year's.
Happy (sad) that I consumed my weight in christmas cookies this past month.
Happy that both my boys are currently sleeping at the same time (it's been a while).
Sad that my hubby is not here to nap with me.
Happy that we got to have a week at home together, napping whenever we wanted.
Sad that the majority of the week we couldn't do anything else anyway, since someone was always sick.
Happy that it was mainly just one person at a time.
Sad that that one person was mainly Koo Bear, who we thought had turned a corner in the lung department after 3 colds this fall that DIDN'T go to his lungs.
Happy that Prednisone cleared it right up.
Sad that Prednisone is so crappy in all other ways.
Happy that i got to go to Philly on New Year's Eve DAY with my mama to see "Motherhood: The Musical" (her xmas present). It was "the good, the bad... and the laundry". Definitely a fun time!
Sad (not really) that i had absolutely no desire, let alone ability, whatsoever, to stay up til midnight to welcome the new year.
Happy that Kyren only got up once that night for a neb.
HAPPY that he now begs for it so he can watch elmo videos on Youtube, even in the middle of the night.
Happy that he goes right back to sleep afterward!
Happy that I am neither glad nor sad to say good-bye to 2011. it was a good enough year. no major heartbreaks, catastrophes, or emergencies... other than that one trip to the ER.
Happy that our kids are overall healthy, active, and growing leaps and bounds in all areas they're supposed to be.
Sad that they are growing up.
Happy that I can actually get things done now while they play or watch a video together.
Sad that my house is still a mess most of the time, regardless.
Happy that despite a messy house, my family is still happy!
Happy that my kids can now HELP with the cleaning up, and that a simple promise of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" will get them to clean up the entire livingroom.
Sad that that will soon no longer be enough. . . b/c, did i mention, they are growing up way too fast?
Happy that i am at least aware that they are growing so fast, and thus still trying to embrace every fun moment with them that i possibly can... like today when C requested that we exercise by running around the livingroom rug (which is like 6' x 12')... and wouldn't let me stop or change direction for a good 15 minutes?
Sad that that really IS all the exercise i will get this month.
Happy that I get to stay home and run around with my kiddos, and really can't ask for another thing for this year ahead than more of the same.
Sad that in a year we will be looking at registering for kindergarten. (heavy sigh)
Happy that, while my joy is found in my current assignment as Mommy to little ones, that my ultimate happiness in life is not dependent on them.
Sad, still, that i can't bottle up their littleness to bring out when they're, say 15 and 16.
Happy that even though they are quickly outgrowing babyhood, this does not make me want another one any time soon!
Happy to be writing all of this from my most awesome christmas present from my hubby, my macbook air!
Sad that it is not truly as light as air when you drop it on your bare toes.
Happy that we can now sit in the same room and chat online with each other.
Sad that we can now sit in the same room an chat online with each other.
Happy to be where i am, with those i love, starting off another year of adventure, romance, and running around the livingroom til 'we all fall down'!
Happy 2012!
