Every year around Christmas time I get super sad. I know it is a happy and magical time of year, but for some reason all the happy emotions catch up with me and I go into a Christmas funk.
Miles' fish, Sharpie, died today and watching Miles try to cope with his little friend's death was really hard for me. How can I make sure that he never has to be sad like that again?
Faye didn't understand that Sharpie died. She did, however, understand the sadness of it all. As I was holding Miles and trying to console him- I, too, was tearing up and when Faye came over and saw us at first she was confused and after a few seconds, she realized that she needed to be sad too. It was awful. I will never forget her face.
I love my kids. They are good kids and they both have such tender hearts. I am blessed to have them.
Also, note to my future self: don't ever get a dog- unless it is the kind that will outlive you and your babies.
A place to document our day-to-day brags or complaints. Hope you enjoy.

Hey New Best Friend,
Totally get the Christmas funk I have gotten it every year for a pretty long time and I am not sure what causes it. As far as the pets go it is really tough no matter the age but having those memories to cherish helps balance the scales of losing them.
Hopefully Utah will cheer you up. I say, best to start with the loss of a fish. Unfortunately, life definitley throws it's punches. Your kids are lucky to have such a wonderful comforting mom.
I know that this is sad, but I'm still trying to remove the smile from my face because Miles named a fish Sharpe... I think that is the greatest name ever. Anyways, you are a great mom and I love that you are in Utah!!! Bring on the games and laughs, Cicely is in town!!!!
This post is ironic.
