SANTA!

Hi

It's Grace here. I need to talk. Today Mama and Dadda took me to a Christmas party. I was really looking forward to it as it meant I'd get to hang out with my peeps.

But there was something that I wasn't told. Oh I've heard rumours from the other kids. Whispers  of "watch out for the guy in red" but I didn't know what to expect.

When he arrived I was cautious but Dadda was holding me so all was good. Then he called my name.

Before I knew it Dad gave me to this guy!!! Just handed me over!!! I was in shock but recovered when a present was given to me and the red man and I opened it together. (It was an adorable outfit that I'm going to look soooo cute in...thank you to Ben for the present!!).

But then Dadda still didn't come get me. And bloody Mum was snapping pictures.

It was NOT acceptable. And I let everybody know. It's amazing how when you express yourself loudly how quickly your parents run.

So final verdict on the red guy?  Well he gave me a gift which was cool but he was a bit scary.

And I'm pissed at Mum and Dad for abandoning me.

Catch ya later

Picture of an 11 year olds desk

Grace has her desk in the family room, mainly due to space in her room but also to help her not lock herself away. She just finished tidying it and I love how it represents where she is at. Lots of art, Lego still displayed proudly, pillow on chair covering her phone ( she is still adhering to the no phone in her room rule, yay!), pottery on display. A beautiful blend of child and teenager!

Everyone is growing up

 Turning 50 is a weird milestone - I dont feel 50, and I dont really put a lot of weight behind milestone numbers. But I do like reflecting on life, and I feel I have grown, learnt from many of my mistakes, and lived a pretty great life. The biggest change is watching just how much Grace has grown this year. Today I washed some of her baby clothes that I found so I can store them and it took me right back to when my whole clothes line had tiny little outfits on it. This year, she everything has changed and I am in so much grief for the loss of some of the old routines, it hurts!!  She is still my little button and I see that side of her when she is unsure or overwhelmed. I need to manage my patience through these growing phases, as my sister said "give her space and grace". She is the kindest, funniest and sweetest girl and I love her so much that it honestly hurts. I hope she knows that. She seems to have all my worst moments front of mind that I wonder at times if she sees ...
