The 12 Days of Christmas (Clean Up)…
I was just telling a few friends the other day that the 12 Days of Christmas seem more like the 12 Days of Christmas Clean up. I’ve been trying to plow the detritus of Christmas to the appropriate location, ie kids rooms, trash can, dish washer, washing machine, etc. So far I haven’t gotten to grade papers yet… the Christmas lazy’s are still here. It’s just hard to be motivated to get work done with dh home.
The children love their gifts and it was one of our more successful Christmas’s on that front. To be home alone, no family or guests, was much more relaxing than last year. The kinks in meal plans (ie frozen turkey instead of thawed) didn’t even phase us much.
As lovely as the holidays are, I’m looking forward to getting back into the regular routine… and have already started promising myself things about next year…
very good!
