Dear Children, I took you all to the store to see what you want to ask Santa for. I had to keep reminding you not to show me EVERYTHING just what you want for Christmas. I was exhausted by the time we left. Our cart consisted of a can of black olives and Tim Tams, who knew olives could be used as a bribe. Dear Piano Recital, the kids did great, but could four kids need to pee more than they did during that one hour. I was irritated after the second time and mad at the fourth time. Luckily there was music to distract me. Dear Rain, just what I was needing a cold, rainy, overcast day. Too bad the kids were so naughty all day. Dear Awkward, sitting in church and 6yr old Avary says "hey, my dress is inside out" and then we both giggled cause neither one of us, or anyone else had noticed. A visit to the bathroom fixed that. Oh, also showing up to church and meeting up with my lil sis to sub a class together wearing the same outfit. Dress, sweater, boots...yeah the kids were like "you're twins"! Aren't we so cute dressing alike in our 30's. Oh, excuse me she still has a month 1/2 till the big 30, then it will be cute. Dear Hailey, you are singing in a small choir at the Temple lights tomorrow night at 7:00pm. I am excited to listen to how beautiful it's going to sound. Dear Cooold, I have been freezing. I broke out my new heating blanket and use my space heater(which both attract children) and I still don't want to get out of bed. I must be an Arizonan. I have had to acclimatize too many times this year. Dear Hazel, I have discovered that if I put you under my heating blanket when I tell you to get on your own pillow you do instead of crying and tightening you death grip around my neck. This could be a fluke, but I hope not. Dear Orthotics, I am impressed with the huge difference you made in how Kade walks and runs, who knew. Dear Dentist, you are the best I've been to and I'm not too fond of dental work. You are so nice. Dear Pediatric Dermatologist, I will highly recommend you to anyone. I was very satisfied with our visit, you lived up to your reputation. I am really hitting the jackpot with Dr.'s lately. Dear Kade, poor little dude. You are usually anxious and on the verge of freaking out when we go to Dr's, I am so proud of how you handled it. By the end you were facing the wall wanting to leave. Three women dermatologist who are very thorough in their job surrounding you counting all of your moles and birthmarks can be intimidating. You have to be put under(which freaks mamma out) to have two moles removed and biopsied. You said to make sure you don't have an orange Fanta soda before you go under or it won't work because Fanta charges you up. Unfortunately you need many more Dr's and tests, I wish I could do it for you, I would. Dear Random Info, if you put on a prescription cream twice a day and cover in a band aid that the Dr. gave you for ringworm for two months it will not get rid of the coin type of eczema that needs a completely different kind of prescription and apparently a different kind of Dr. And you probably shouldn't continue doing it when you don't even think it's ringworm. Just so you know. Dear Friday, one of the few days this month with nothing scheduled. I hope nothing pops up. Dear Self, stress sucks find a cure for it.
