Crazy Week

We really haven't been that busy around here it just seems like it. I guess it's cuz I have so much jumping around in my head.
What we are doing for Thanksgiving
Where to have N's Birthday party
What I still need to get for Christmas presents
What to get for the 3 birthday parties we have next month
Then a whole lot of other little everyday things..when to get the laundry done stuff like that

And to add to this......

My Dad had one of his hip surgeries today. I just got a call from my step-mom and she said everything went good, and he was in recovery. So that's good, he'll have to go back in a few months(or it was a few weeks, I can't remember) to work on the other hip.

I also did N and M's Christmas list, and N's birthday list. Which I didn't think would be so hard except I only had about 6 things I had thought of between the two of them, which is not even close to enough for all the people buying for them to choose from. So off to Target the kids and I went so N could pick out some toys. We did a Target Wish list, which was really nice, cuz now our family can go to any store, or online and buy things. Plus, I can return to the store if I need to, so that should be so much easier than last year. Well as long as everyone takes it off the registry and/or gets gift receipts that is. Anywho, he did really good, I told him we were just scanning what he wanted he would get them for his birthday and Christmas. He would point I would scan(ok for the most part there was a few things like a video system that didn't get scanned) I did let him push around this shopping cart, and he didn't even give me a fight putting it away when we are done. He pick out a wooden kitchen which I had been debating about wishing for earlier, cuz I wasn't sure how much he would like it. But he had to be playing w/it for 5mins before I had to pull him away from it. I'm sure he would have keep playing if I let him, but M was getting hungry.

I also most of the girls at work keep telling me I should make dresses like I made for M and my friend and sell them on Ebay. Right now I'm still up in the air about that one. I think it would be a good way to make a little extra money, I'm just not sure if I have THAT much extra time. Besides I'm sure I'd have to buy a ton of fabric so I could at less make a few dresses. I'm still up in the air about it.

Then I had to decide if I was going to have TMJ surgery to fix the muscles that got hurt in the car accident I was in 2 years ago. I'm so tired of having my jaw feeling so tight and stressed, getting headaches at lest once a week, and not being able to eat a cupcake(My Fave food in the world!) So, I'm having it, I told them I was waiting till after N's birthday, for one I don't want to miss any part of the Holidays or his birthday, and two, Hello, I work in retail there is no way I can get a week off, even if I am part-time. January is Inventory so that is pushing it enough. I haven't set it up yet that's next on my list of things to do after the party planing and Christmas shopping that is.

On Tuesday we have the kids pictures for Christmas, which I'm looking forward to. I'm hoping and praying that N will sit w/M. Everyone have their fingers crossed! I was hoping to have a professional photograph come to the house and take them, but I never got a call back, we were going to get a good deal since it's a friend of mine's mom. JCPenny has always done good pictures for us so I don't think it will be that bad I just thought it would be nice not to be rushed and the kids would be more relaxed.

This Monday M had her second therapy appointment, it went good. The therapist said she's looking good, and she was sad cuz she probably will not be working with her long. She thinks M is so cute and is fun to work with. M still isn't crossing her arms over to reach for something, or go back into a sitting position, but we found some things that she LOVES to do, and end up being GREAT exercises for her. She either can stand or kneel on the ground and then lean and hold onto my exercises ball to balance. Then we are to sit behind her and if she starts to fall, we gentle nug her hip so she know she's suppose move her hip to keep herself up. M thinks this is the best thing, she always laughs and smiles when she's doing it.

I think that's about it from around here. I'm sure I forgot something, but that's a lot of updates for one day.
