Anyway- I have a point. I'm doing the best that I can. I am trying to get through these last rotations with a little bit of grace. I know I don't answer my phone- but I'm not ignoring you, I'm probably taking kids to dance or the dr.'s, or Crew unplugged the phone, or I just can't find it. I know I don't return calls- I don't have long distance, and my cell phone is a pay as you go plan. The only reason I have it at all is so that I can talk to Dale while he's away (I get unlimited min. to him) I also know that I'm cranky. Dale and the kids have to deal with it... so do you. I make no apologies about it.
Many have expressed concern that we will be spending Christmas alone. I'm totally okay with that. Really. It just means that we are that much closer to this all being over. That makes me happy. We all miss Dale, but we have talked about "this point" for so long that's it's amazing to us all that we are actually here. Our family has been through A LOT... and this is definitely the least of it. We will celebrate Christmas when Dale gets home... together... like we should.
I am asking for patients. I have 3 little people that don't posses a bit of it- soooo they come first. It's pretty much takes all I have right now. If you know me at all, you know that I tend to drop off the face of the earth when I'm pregnant. I have been lucky to have a husband who willing picks up the slack. That isn't the case this time. I am fine... really. But I will be back to normal in about 12 weeks. You can be cranky with me then.
p.s. consider this your Christmas card!

I like the honest non-braggy Christmas cards the best anyways.
I would be fine with a perfectly quiet, cozy, non-traveling Christmas too.
12 weeks? Wow. That has gone by so fast. (I am sure not for you).
I could have TOTALLY written that ...minuse the pregnant part. Replace 'pregnant' with 'magazine' and you have me right now.
Wow, Meg, sounds like someone's not been too understanding where you are concerned. Sorry. I know your doing your best under the circumstances. As long as you know that and are fine with it...well, that's all that matters, isn't it?!!! I love you, lots! mom
I think you are awesome and handling everything very well! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
I think you have every right to be burnt out. I can't imagine 3 kids, pregnant, and no husband (esp. during the holidays/birthdays) keep up the hard work, it WILL get better. love ya lots
12 weeks seems like freaking FOREVER!!!! Although it seems like yesterday (July) when I was puking my guts out thinking that Christmas would never get here. At least you get to be done getting pregnant forever-lucky. Then you can work on your hotness without thinking how pointless it is.
Thanks for the Christmas Card! I guess this is mine to you. I didn't do them this year even though I am not pregnant, I have a husband, and am not in school. I really have no excuse. I'm sure no one will complain about a Christmas card and if they do...they're dumb! Let me know if you want to go hang out sometime during the school break. My kids would love to get together with yours. And we are one of the few people that will be in town for Christmas!
Okay, I'm sorry to put one more thing on your plate but if you have time could you email me your address so I can send you guys a christmas card? Hope that's not too creepy. Oh, and you're the woman, go ahead and feel free to chant that in the mirror in the mornings. anyforbis@hotmail.com
Pardon, that would be amyforbis@hotmail.com
One more thing... I'm not trying to rub it in that I'm doing christmas cards while you're not even though now that I read what I wrote it seems that way. hu-yuck!
I think you're doing great! You were even smiling on Sunday!! :) good luck to you in your hopefully "last" rotation. And Merry Christmas!!
Meghan, I think you are doing great...we had so much fun with you guys and wish we could see you more. I hope everything keeps going great for you and the kids...you are amazing! You are keeping it together well with your kids and the girls' schedules and being preggers!! You deserve a break whenever you can get it!!
I love it! I love your honesty and that is doesn't come with an apology! Just keep it up! 12 weeks isn't that long right?!?!
