Looks like from here on out that my days are numbered (with this blog.) Today is the second part of my half-way point... being that today I am on day 183, and I have 182 to go (yesterday it was day 182 and 183 to go.) Unless it is leap year, my half-way point won't be equal. I know that just sounded so elementary, and why I wrote that last line I have no clue! LOL! and why I am even leaving it in, is more of a wonder. Oh brother, I crack myself up! Such a goof-ball!! ... BTW ... my blog reached 8,000 views today! WOWser! In awe here.
Being a goof-ball... even saying that reminds me of when my boys were six and three we thought it would be funny if we (I) got a personalized license plate frame for my car that said... "Addison & Logan's Goofy Mom".
Now that my boys are more or less men, I wonder how embarrassing that was for them when I still had that license plate frame on my car when they were fourteen and eleven. Sorry boys. I never meant to embarrass you. It's just that I was, and am so proud to be your mom... regardless of the way things have been and are at the present time.
Going down my own memory lane, I so lovingly remember the Christmases I had with my boys. The movie marathons we would have (from the "Back to The Future" series, to the countless "Teenage Ninja Turtle" shows) ... the cookies we would make and leave for Santa; and all the singing and decorating we would do.
I hope to continue making Christmas memories with Calley, as I did with them. I only wish for Calley, that she would be able to one day enjoy her brothers too.
Today Calley shared with me what she wanted to get me...
The day that I can have all my children together, will be a day I will treasure forever! Until then I will continue to tell Calley stories of her brothers growing up.
If she is not talking about them constantly, she will want what they like. She does not just ask for carrots and ranch dressing, she asks for Logan's favorite salad when he was a little boy. She does not just ask for (pickled) ginger, she asks for Addison's favorite eat-the-entire-jar-in-a-single-sitting vegetable (root). When she get's in trouble, I will ask her why she did something and she will reply because she misses her brothers. (She knows how to work it!) She even asks me to sing to her the sunshine song I used to sing to her brothers when they were little. Everything is about her brothers!
I hope that one day Addison and Logan will get to know the amazing little sister that they have. They are truly missing out on the joyous moments she has to give them.

Today Calley shared with me what she wanted to get me...
Calley... "Mommy... you know what?"
Me... "No, my nuggies, what?" (one of her many nicknames Dean and I have for her)
Calley... "I want to buy you a BIG house with three floors."
Me... "A three story house?!"
Calley... "Yes! You, me and Daddy will live on the first floor, and Addison will have the second floor and Logan can live on the third floor. That way we can be a happy BIG family."Oh my GOSH!! This absolutely brought tears to my eyes! The love that Calley has for her brothers is just amazing. She has only seen Addison twice and Logan once in person. However, the love she feels for them is as if she is with them everyday. Which, unfortunately, truth be told, she does not.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
