A lot has happened to in my life since I last wrote.

Unfortunately it seems that everytime something happens I go through a very long drought without writing here.

The Cliff Notes version:

Two days after I last wrote, William became very ill. He had a fever of 103.4. Daycare called and (I won’t go there with all the in between drama) we took him to his doctor in the hospital. Thankfully it was within business hours so we didn’t have to go to the emergency room. William’s doctor diagnosed him with bacterial pneumonia. I thought I was literally going to break into micro-Shaani bits all over the floor. I was devastated that my baby boy had pneumonia. After a long while of waiting, William was admitted to the fourth floor in his own room. Initially Dr. C said that we would be a few days… could my heart possibly break anymore? William is definitely a trooper though… he fought the pneumonia hard and we were only there two days. I stayed in the hospital with William the first night and JT stayed the second night. That is what parenting is all about… teamwork son. We need that all of the time.

When William came home I was ecstatic. I hugged William so many times he began to look at me a little crazy. I didn’t care though because my son was home and healthy!!

Christmas was very nice. When you become a parent, the materialistic part of the holiday season is… rather should be for the kids. William and Keisha had a great Christmas, therefore mommy had a great Christmas. They received (of course the gifts are in twos) a Leap Pad, shoes, lots of clothes and a few toys.

JT and I cooked a lot of food for the New Year’s Eve celebration. JT’s sister came over and my mom spent the night. We had a nice weekend overall.

My brother turned 21 on December 30 and has been drinking nonstop since then. Pray for him.
