Tis the season

I woke up this morning to a phone call asking me to sub in Mallory's class at KidsFirst. KF is a mothers-day-out program offered through our church and I love it. Not only does Mallory get to socialize and make friends, I get to spend alone time with my second-born, Jaxon, which is very precious to me.



Anyways, I woke up with a somewhat scratchy throat but as the day progressed, it got worse and worse! The sneezing, the twitching eyes, and stuffy nose made for a miserable afternoon. I love this time of year and hate it at the same time. The trees are absolutely beautiful and the weather feels so nice. I love sitting outside in the sun with a cool breeze blowing around me. Just such a relaxed feeling. However, this changing weather kills my allergies. I take this and I take that, but nothing ever helps (unless you call knocking me out to where I can't function as a mom to my kids, "helping"). So I just have to treat symptoms as best as I can. Cough drops and Vicks Vapo-Rub are my friends and I look forward to getting re-acquainted with them over the next few days in the hopes of getting some relief! Ok, so I will stop griping now.:) Tis the season, the allergy season...
My mother-in-law is coming tomorrow and I am so thankful! I do have to say that I have the best mother-in-law in the world. I get so much done when she is here because she tends to the kids while I accomplish the tasks I have been unable to do. But this time around we are going to Christmas Village in B'ham together! I am so excited. This is an annual event for us and I look forward to going every year. We eat delicious food, find great Christmas gifts (more ideas than anything), and fun items for the kiddos. Adam is her only child=Mallory & Jaxon are her only grandchildren=2 spoiled rotten kids! It's always fun though to see what we can find.
Tis the season... I love Christmas and all that revolves around it!!
All of this makes for a fun MeeMaw visit for everyone! I get pretty spoiled to the ability "to run to the store real quick" without packing up the kids in the car, unloading and reloading them from the store and all that jazz! So I am truly grateful for her help when she comes. Looking forward to all the stories I will have to share as well!!
