THE GREAT BLOG UPDATE!

Yes, I'm still alive! I know...don't fall off your chair or anything. You can breath into a paper bag if you think it will help. Come to think of it, I probably should do that as well (lack of oxygen from chasing Kresta around the house). I'm seriously gonna have to remember that next time. The little muchin I just mentioned, she's the main reason I haven't blogged. I wish I could say that I've been traveling the world, or curing cancer or doing something spectacular, but I haven't....just the same old, same old. Holding down the fort. Keeping house. Raising my babies. We haven't been on any vacations this past year or done anything exciting because of my physical condition from the car accident. I do however spend a good amount of my day peeling food off the floor and sometimes the ceiling, the high chair and scrubbing it out of Kresta's clothes. She has got to my the messiest eater on the planet!  My main goal lately has been preventing her from developing Pica (the disorder where people eat anything they get their hands on). I swear, I have saved her life countless times: legos, screws, pennies...you name it, she's tried to eat it. We took a trip to the pediatrician in November because she decided to swallow to shiny silver, heavy, marble-sized magnet (courtesy of Silas who plays with his magnetix and NEVER puts them away!). So, although I haven't been doing anything AH-MAZING, I'm a mom, it's what I choose and I love it! I've accepted that my although my life is not glamorous, it's fun. It's always a crazy, hectic, ...forever running 10 minutes late to EVERYTHING, chaotic, can never find my phone, or van keys....or kids shoes when we are in a hurry (but will find a week old curdled sippy cup of milk), wacky kinda life. Although I may not know what's stuck on the van seat, or in Kresta's hair at the end of the day, I do know where pinky (K's blankie), fluffy (L's penguin), and McDonald (S's blanket) are, and I know what's important....my children. I'm just so thankful that I'm still here, and although my recovery has been long and painful, and is not by any means over, I still have my life on this big blue ball! So due to Jason working out of the state this last year, and the time I spend in with my recover in Physical Therapy....my blogging has taken a back burner. I will now begin catching up with everything. It's gonna take a month or so, but get ready for the great blog updation!
