Random, at best.

December has flown by.

My "baby" turned 6 today. It's pretty odd to say that, considering I remember the events of her birth as if they were yesterday. I remember everything, every little detail, from the labor to the hours after she had arrived. It's so crazy that my little 6lb baby is now a 43lb kindergartner. She's so smart, so beautiful, and so caring. She has taught me so much more than I could ever teach her. She was such an easy baby, and has thus far been an incredibly easy child. It's just weird to think that 9 months from now she'll be starting 1st grade. Time truly does fly by.

I can remember being 10 years old and desperately wanting to be 16. I wanted to be able to drive myself places, come and go as I pleased, and just have that freedom. Once I hit 16, I wanted to be 21 so I could be legal to do whatever I wanted. I hope my children embrace their childhood. I hope they take their time to just be a kid, rather than wishing to be grown up so quick. Really, what is so great about being grown up? You get to work and have a job, wow. My kids are amazing, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world, but being a grown up sucks sometimes.

I'm so exhausted. Trinity's friend from school had a birthday party today, so we went. Then we took Trinity out to dinner to celebrate her birthday. She had originally chose Applebee's to eat at, but then she figured that Chili's would have a better dessert. Silly girl. We'll have her party in January, once the holidays aren't beating us up anymore.

This month has been so chaotic. I can't believe the year is almost up. This time last year, I was almost in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy. I was so worried I'd miscarry again. I practically had a pillow wrapped around my tummy. I didn't think July could get here fast enough (and some days it didn't). Now, Mason is almost 6 months, Trinity is 6, and Madison is the next birthday (her 4th) that we'll celebrate, in April.

I can only hope that 2011 brings as many good memories and blessings as this year has brought. This has, by far, been one of the best years we've had in a while.

Off to bed- can't concentrate anymore. There is so much more I want to write about, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow when I have a clear head.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful princess, Trinity!
