Type-A Mom has a new look! Check out the new site! We're also hiring writers!

I can't believe how time has flown!! So many things have been happening to me...I thought I would catch you up.

First, my daughter is still being unmanagable. It seems like our cry for help has went unnoticed again. Well I hope it in the new year things will change!

Second, my son broke his arm. My daughter said...why don't you jump off the dresser. So he did. I let him cry for about 45 minutes when I finally realized that he broke it and wasn't faking...LOL...

So off we went in a cab to the hospital. We waited for 5 hours before they finally said ... Yup, it's broken. We go on Christmas Eve to get his cast off.

Third, my grandfather died. It's only been two weeks today since it happened. I have had no contact with my family since the day after. I think it's pretty rotten that they are making me grieve on my own. I couldn't even go to the funeral because my mom couldn't be bothered to pick me up at the airport. It seems to me that I got ripped off. He was like my dad. He was the only constant male in my life. I looked up to him like anything. He was a great man....still is...and I miss him.

It doesn't feel like Christmas to me this year at all. I am too busy trying not to think about my Opa and think about the kids and how much fun they will have. But it's so hard to celebrate when you are missing family.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and you get everything you wished for. Make sure you hug the ones you love!
