Dimes

We are about to hit the nine month anniversary it even hits on a Friday this time everyone keeps telling me how good I'm doing.  They don't know I still sleep with your jacket, I still cry a lot.   I miss you so much its hard to sleep without hearing the tick of your heart.  I watch the hummingbirds in the evening and want to prop my feet on your chair or lay my head on your shoulder.  Last week I got my monthly letter from the insurance saying they're still waiting on the toxicology report. 

Rebecca called she found a dime and had to check on me.  As I was cleaning the desk off I kept finding change but not one dime, I was so mad I didn't understand why you sent everyone dimes but me (I've only found one) then I realised when someone finds a dime they call me. 

I wish I could be as strong as the girls then I wonder if they are as strong as we all think.  Mary loves middle school but still wants me to walk her to the bus every morning.  Jamie has graduated to the top bunk she doesn't talk about you as much as the other two and has become a little more clingy.  Grace took your picture in her about me bag, it was one of the two of you in the kayak together. 

Mom and Dad just had their 52nd anniversary, Jamie just turned 9, Grace is 7, and Mary is about to turn 12.  Time keeps passing but we won't ever pas our 16th anniversary and you'll always be 47.  I know we will be okay it all just takes time (that's what they all keep telling me). 

I traded in my van and bought a Toyota just like you wanted you would love it.  Its really nice all the doors open and everything.  I changed Grace over to a booster seat she keeps locking her seatbelt when she buckles herself in.

Elf

I saw so many people using the Elf on the shelf book and elf last year that I decided to give it a try also.  Monday while out running some errands I stoped in the Family Dollar and picked up an elf shelf sitter, I think it has been the best four dollars I have spent in a long time.  Jamie my 3 year old does not seem to understand but Mary has been on her best behavior since she got off the bus on Monday and the last two mornings I have only had to call her once to get up she is so excited to find the elf.  Tuesday morning she dressed in the bathroom so he could not see her underwear, this morning that no longer mattered. 


I have been trying to get things ready so we can hopefully put up or tree the weekend after Thanksgiving, I would much rather decorate the brave the crowds on black Friday though they do have some really good deals.  It is kinda looking like we are having an Avon Christmas at my house just easier to shop that way for me.  The girls do want those stompie slippers that they are advertising on TV.  I am glad I don't have boys from some of the toys they are advertising.  Give me my little pony and littlest pet shop any day.
