I was planning on a description of the last 24 hours of our visit with family in this post but I am not feeling 100%, not even 70% so I am going to make this a brief one...
I posted a little bit on my 1st challenge group of the year on my Facebook page. I am pretty excited about getting back into it and helping some of you start a "New Year, New You" ~ I truly hope you will consider joining me. It is a mere 3 weeks and will go by so quickly and it is all about encouragement and getting reinspired in a new year. The trip was a fairly good one and we made our way home this afternoon, stopping to eat dinner with Hubby on his break this evening. Micah walked in and promptly got into several boxes & baskets while I brought up the bare necessities from the car. Abby jumped all over us to welcome us home. Since both kiddos napped today, they're both more awake than I would like but are in the process of going to sleep for the night. I plan to join them shortly in that land ;-)
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I'll be checking in again tomorrow with some more details (I hope) on things to come. God bless you all!
As always,
Melissa

12 Days After Christmas ~ Day 1
So as promised, here is the first of my 12 day series following Christmas. Expect a mix of emotions, ramblings, daily happenings and so on...
Christmas was spent with some of our extended family. David arrived to my parents' house just after 11 at night on Christmas Eve, due to some "shenanigans" at work. I was so glad to see him that I didn't care so much about the timing. At this point, Micah off his schedule had just fallen asleep not too long beforehand. Micah slept with us so I slept worse than usual, which here meant cold and sore, leaving me to contemplate leaving early.
We did stay, however, heading over to my aunt and uncle's house later for the afternoon and evening. David left for home to get home around dark since he had to work 12+ hours each the following 3 days. It was calm and enjoyable, watching the kids play, enjoying the relative calm and of course, a yummy dinner. I went to bed a little more hopeful for sleep last night and was pleasantly surprised to do so once Micah was out.
Today was restful, cleaning up my computer and some e-mails with cute children playing near me. For now, the plan is to stay a few more days so the kiddos can have the run of the place and enjoy the space and backyard here. I'll breathe more and pray this cold either stays at bay or gets its worse out while I have the "backup" here. We will head home sometime Sunday and work on reestablishing a routine so when school starts back up, Joy won't be completely caught off guard.
Overall, I am mostly just surprised at the calm. I came into this week sort of ready for disaster, not because of any particular person but because of the cold and all of the morning sickness I had earlier on in the week. My creative powers are zapped at the moment it seems. I have nothing witty to say and my challenge groups are still in my head not developed as planned. I am busy thinking ahead to the New Year only days away but nothing concrete still... I hope you all had a blessed Christmas. I will post again tomorrow, hopefully something more...
