After a 3 week Christmas break, I almost feel like I’ve won a battle with my sanity barely in tact. The kids were incredible, and I did enjoy the time at home that I felt we sort of missed over the actual Christmas part of their break. But still, when the snow caused an unexpected, (and ill-prepared for on my part) extension of our time together, I thought there may be a strait-jacket involved at some point, either used on me or the kids. Thankfully, they got along great with each other most of the time. Which means that they were running and screaming and enjoying themselves… which means that I was left searching for a quiet corner to myself. Today though I sort of miss their happy energy. I didn’t have an excuse to make a huge bowl of popcorn and watch a movie. Which would inevitably lead to a nap on the couch and hoping that they wouldn’t notice I had missed half the movie. But on a good note, the tape remained in one place, no one asked me for 3 different sizes of batteries, and the rolling foot-rest stayed in the living room the ENTIRE day…. so far.
