Squishy has been around for quite some time in our family - it's a water bottle. But it has a name. That's because Squishy has been with us so long now, he's like family. Ever since Mommy first developed cancer, Squishy was with us to help deal with some of the associated discomfort. Mommy's healing has been an ongoing process, one that has taken many years really. And so there's Squishy, the old family friend. Just like when Mommy goes to make tea, we heat up the water and there you go.
Unfortunately, Madison has actually needed Squishy about three times the last week. She's not quite sure what to make of her stomach pains, but she's had three occasions - tonight being the third - where she tells us she's really hungry. Even though she just ate. Soon afterwards, the tears come - we know it's something more than hunger. The two things that have helped here are pills for gas, and Squishy. Tonight, Madison wrapped herself up in a blanket on the couch after taking the pill. She, Daddy and Squishy sat together and watched the Eloise Christmas movie, and soon she was feeling better. We're not entirely sure what's up here, but we'll be keeping an eye on the situation.
Today Mommy was doing a LOT of work for the upcoming Christmas drama at the church. She was out shopping at thrift stores and looking for clothing and costumes all over the land. That's why she wasn't home when the latest incident occurred. In fact, she wasn't able to make it for piano practice either - Daddy and Madison did that today, returning to class. It seemed like everyone was trying to do a bit of catch-up there, although class was fun as usual. Still, we'll have to spend some time practicing this week. Lots to do!
Some of our Cyber Monday deals have come in the mail already! Yesterday, we did some online shopping and got some deals for Christmas. Already, Madison has way too much. Seriously - there are a lot of gifts to list for Christmas. She must have been very good this year!
The next five or six days are going to be a blur. We've got to get everything ready for a new series, and everything ready for the upstairs Christmas production. It's too much on our plates, but when we are weak, He is strong. With Mommy feeling sick in her tummy lately, and everyone pretty much overwhelmed, we're pretty weak right now!
