All good things must come to an end

This is going to be my attempt in summarizing all of  the little things and big things my little family accomplished in 2014.  After my discharge from Providence Rehab on November 23, 2013, I came home in a wheel chair to a house that was not quite ready for me.  There wasn't a ramp built for months and  I took my very first steps around Christmas time and delighted everyone. Robert followed suit and took his very first steps on Valentine's Day, 2014.

So, here I sit, proclaiming to the world what I am now capable of doing and admitting the things I still need help with.  I'm fairly self sufficient these days.  I can make my own coffee and use the microwave to heat up anything my little Jacee heart desires.  I can usually fully dress myself except after a shower.  My daily chores consist of loading and unloading the dishwasher (except the silverware).  I recently purchased soap pods so I can wash the clothes myself, move them to the dryer and it doesn't even matter that I can't read because I know how many clicks each direction is for whatever cycle. Nursing duties aside,  I am an excellent playmate for Robert.  Our bedroom door is always open when he's awake because I'm trying to sleep only when he does.   I can also fully lift Robert and carry him from one side of the house to the other! Tickling him all of the way.

Last night it was posed to me, "Jacee, what are your New Year's resolutions?" And I said, "I don't know. I'd like to finish all of the things on my "Jacee can do list.""

So I guess that only leaves checking the mail, putting my own hair up in a pony tail and making scrambled eggs.

Last, but not least, Dan's tinting business has been really taking off and we're all looking forward to the day when that is our primary source of income. Everything I keep on pushing myself to do is for him and Robert, so I'm less of a burden for Dan and the best mom ever to Robert. They both deserve it!
