So, I gave this gallbladder cleanse a full day, and it was great! No pain, other than the hunger pains! I felt great! And then there was day 2. Now I am beginning to think that it's not a good idea to continue. Ouch! So I am thinking of laying off the apple juice for a full day, and see how I do then. As it stands if I continue with the cleanse, then I am more than likely not going to make it to any families house for Christmas. But I think that if I can postpone this cleanse until after Christmas, I hopefully will be able to make it to all events taking place this weekend. I know that Cadence would be pretty disappointed if I couldn't leave the house and in return means that she doesn't either. Since she noticed that Santa came by to leave her stocking stuffers, she has been much better than I had expected. Instead of a 3-5 day cleanse, it looks like I am going to take a 3-4 day leave on that.
Last night we got another surprise from people in our Ward. I had heard at church on Sunday that the Young Men and Young Women would be going by to random houses in the Ward to go caroling and to drop off cookies. I never once thought that our house would have been one that was chosen. Although there were no carolers, there was a door bell ditch, and when I opened the door, there lays on our doorstep, a plate of cookies. Since I was to the point of not being able to eat, I went ahead and placed 3 cookies in a Ziplock in hopes that they would still be good by the time that I could eat them. That still remains to be seen.
I have been having weird dreams here lately. The night before last night I had a dream that we let a complete stranger, of whom I know not who he was, live in our extra bedroom in our house. The strangest part about that was that my whole family, including my parents and siblings, aswell as Clint and I were okay with this. As if that wasn't weird enough, I had an unreal dream last night. It was about Granny. This dream was beyond belief as she was still alive. That's right! She was alive and talking! It felt so real that I actually thought that I was going to go see her today. But upon awakening reality had to smack me in the face! I am not going to see her today!:( The worst part is that I can't even remember what we talked about!:(
On a happier note, today is Clint's last day of work for the rest of the year! I love that we are going to have him home until the 3rd of January when work starts again. The girls are really going to enjoy having him home as he is who they both want when Clint and I are both present. It will just be nice waking up to him instead of rolling over to an empty spot on the bed from where he was sleeping.
As Christmas Eve approaches, and starts tomorrow, I had told Cadence that if she continued to be good that we would let both kids open the gifts in their stockings on Christmas Eve. This means for Cadence that there is still "one more sleep"! I actually have been thinking here lately that I am going to be fine this time of year. Yes, there is still this huge viod that will never go away and that I will always have because of the loss of Granny, but, Granny would never want us to forget her, but to at least continue in life. Let me use Granny as an example, and who better of course than Granny's example. On Granny's birthday, and years ago, she had to bury her mother. I get now why she never really liked her birthday, but what choice did Granny make? She never really showed how much she disliked the day that she burried her mom, she always make it the best that she could. And she had a lot of "happy" birthdays that even I was able to be present for!:)
