{THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY of Christmas 2007}

{THE GOOD}

It was so wonderful to have all of our kidz home for Christmas. We also had David's parents with us. Sunday Lisa & Brian and kidz and Ryan, Kylie & Sadie came for dinner & family fun when we played "SANTA" and had great prizes? Fun was had by all.

{THE BAD}

We found out Christmas Eve that Dutchess has Lymphosarcoma. It is too far along to do much about it and the Vet gives her 3-6 weeks to live. We are giving her medication to help lesson the swelling of the lymph glands and she is enjoying taking the medication with cheese and lunch meat. We are all very sad because she has been care-taker and protector of the boyz for over 9 years. She has done some amazing things for our family and will be greatly missed. At least we have some time to say goodbye and we are grateful to have it.

{THE UGLY}

It is sometimes mind-boggling what your children do and this is up at the top of my list with the things you just have to ask "WHY?????" "Why did you have to put BLACK waterproof mascara on your wanna-be mustache and lip patch hair and walk around ALL DAY looking like you should be wearing a sombrero and striped poncho, Ricardo Suave?" It's just plain loco feo if you ask me! But what do I know? I'm just the MoM!
