The reality of it all.

My parents came in for Christmas and the New Year and I am more than happy to have them here. Unfortunately mom has been feeling under the weather. Actually, we were all under the weather but her health has taken a whole different turn. What we thought was a cold and then a sinus infection turns out to be an infected tear duct. This has brought her swelling, infection and a lot of pain. I have been taking care of her and praying she starts to feel relief soon.
While making dinner and watching her sit with a warm compress on her eye, she looked so sad, so uncomfortable, it was heartbreaking to see. I sat there and realized that the shoe was on the other foot, life had done a one-sixty and I was no longer watching my mom care for my grandma, I WAS mom and she was grandma. Why did it take a infected tear duct to see that life had come full circle and I am now an adult?
Wasn't my husband and children enough to tell me I was a thriving adult? It was so surreal, I can hardly put into words. I instantly wanted to have a little panic attack but then its like God whispered "Your blessed just enjoy." So I finished cooking, served my mom and pampered her with a foot soak and pedicure. Tomorrow she sees yet another specialist and I wish I was asleep right now since I have to wake early, Baby Ash has a different agenda sigh if it wasn't cold I'd take him for a ride and hope he'd fall asleep.

Hello 2015 so very nice to meet you.

Well we welcomed 2015 with our kids, my parents, tamales and buneulos! AND mom with a swollen eye, Ash recovering from a cold, me from bronchitis just in time to catch a cold BUT we were happy! We hugged, kissed, ate and were blessed to be in the company of those we love! We were missing a few members and wished they were able to join us but some nasty bug is going around and well some things can't be helped. I keep saying I will keep up with this blog but life has a crazy way of happening. Though honestly I want to try and keep up with this blog because Ash is entering a part of childhood that I just LOVE. There is just something about a toddler learning things, crushing leaves, jumping in puddles, picnics in the park, walks in the zoo and making mud pies, I LOVE IT ALL! I hope to share all his super cute adventures or in his case mischievous happenings. Well 2015 lets see what we can write about I'm totally up for it!
