If I ever came to visit, that dog would disappear after I left<g>. Too darn cute.
She is getting SO big.
She will be a Mama in about two years! I’ll put you at the top of the list!

That is a lot of wind if she was turned in the Winged Halo!
Um, Wehner, today is NOVEMBER 6th. A wee bit early for a Christmas tree in any form!

Thats not bad. I have a friend where I used to work that starts counting down 90 days before Christmas. She puts up a sheet of paper and changes how many days are left til then. Now THATS too much! hahaha!!

The day after Thanksgiving is when we normally get our tree.

And then it is dead and dried up by Christmas! OK, technically they are usually dead no matter what day you get them.

I figured someone would give me grief over the tree. It isn’t decorated yet, just has lights. It’s an artificial one (DH has asthma so can’t have a real one) so I don’t have to worry about it dying.
I get a lot of joy from having the tree up. It helps me stay positive. There’s been a lot of negative around me lately. Don’t recall all that I’ve told y’all but...my maternal grandfather has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and has to have radiation three times a week for 16 weeks. (I have a suspicion that this is because he isn’t a surgical candidate but the information is coming through his wife so it’s hard to get my questions answered.) My paternal grandmother is still recovering from her knee replacement and ended up with a blood clot in her other leg. This is her second blood clot so she has to see a hematologist and that has her upset. She’s a very strong person so allowing herself to be vulnerable has been hard on all of us. My dad is recovering from his hernia surgery and still having some issues from having his kidney removed. He’s on an antibiotic for inflammation that’s still present from the kidney surgery. He also had two moles biopsied on Monday that we are awaiting results from. Throw in the fact that he also has an echo (ultrasound) on his heart on Tuesday to evaluate a murmur that was found while he was in the hospital with the kidney removal. DD2 has to have a sleep study to see if she needs her tonsils removed. She was also having complications with her braces and had to spend quite a bit of time trialing and being evaluated for different ones last week. Insurance and building are now in the works so that we can get that. We’ve also been trying to get her a wheelchair since last Sept and the company has been a nightmare. We are trying to completely withdraw from that company and start over again with a different one. I have no idea how a child with Spina Bifida doesn’t qualify for a wheelchair!!!! Ugh!! Throw in the fact that DD1 has some struggles with school and we easily spend an hour on homework each evening. She needs more than that but can’t handle more. Trying to be strong for my mom as she cares for my dad and handles all of the insurance, disability, FMLA and cares for my kids when I work. This isn’t even a comprehensive list but some things are too personal to share and others just don’t need to be out in public.
I can’t throw in the towel. I have to keep trudging on. My tree gives me a glimmer of hope that I need during these short days so my DH was sweet and agreed that it could be put up earlier than normal.
I’m not skipping Thanksgiving either. Lol
