Aren't the holidays over yet????
Here we are, day 9 of Christmas vacation (if we aren't counting weekends). I know that I usually sing the virtues of being a sahm, of enjoying every moment of being with my children but....I NEED a few hours to myself!!!! I have had family and friends with me for the past week and a half and I'm about to go nuts! How I long for an hour where no one dirties a dish the minute I drain the sink. Or, perhaps ten minutes to admire my clean floor before someone walks across it with dirty shoes. Or the quintessential 20 seconds of QUIET! Last night I made a beautiful dinner....the lasagna was hot and tasty, flaky garlic bread, toasted to perfection, a salad loaded with fresh veggies and baby spinach, and homemade oatmeal-chocolate chip cake warm from the oven....did I get to sit and enjoy it? Sure....after I served youngest and friend, (shift change) then oldest and 2 friends (shift change) then crabby husband home late from work. And let me tell you that the lukewarm lasagna, wilted salad that had all the good veggies picked out of, and cold cake was just wonderful (enter sarcasm *here). I shouldn't complain, I know. My kids were here with me, I have enough food to feed my family and others, blah, blah, blah....I guess the Christmas spirit has officially "left the building". I do feel a twinge guilty talking like this....but sometimes you just have to vent. (Well, that and I still haven't found a therapist around here!)

Didn't you get your invite to Monica's pity party? Well, that's ok, we are here for you, just vent away , get it all out of your system, breathe deep, now let it out....ahhhh now doesn't that feel better? If not, just take another breath, hold it............now let it out slowly.........continue as needed hahaha Lanny
Yep same scenarios go on at my house. I really hate that sink shining and then someone walking over to it and dropping something in it after they just watched the shining process take place. Have a happy new year!
