And honestly? I am, among many things, relieved.
I'm also melancholy, a bit sad, but mostly just reflective and completely happy to be done with the holiday season.
As for 2007, that's where the melancholy comes in...what a year it has been. So many happy memories!
But as for today, I am one hundred percent GLAD to be home, with nothing on the schedule. Nowhere to run off to, no one to meet, no one to buy presents for, no bags to pack (but holy shit, several to unpack)...basically, no "c'mon, we gotta go...time to go...hurry up!"
I am SO done with that.
Ready to play with new toys, hang out in pjs, drink coffee while my little guys find new ways to destroy the house and eachother, sort through magazines that have been collecting over the past few weeks...and perhaps even build a snowman with my 2yr old this afternoon after his nap. That is, if we can keep his 1yr old brother from barrelling into it and making the 2yr old cry in frustration.
Isn't this just our life these days...the ongoing juxtaposition of joyful and sad, happy and frustrated...the yin and yang (spelling, folks?) of toddler emotions.
Building a snowman in amazing, freshly fallen snow: extreme joy
Younger brother jackin up yet another activity: overwhelming frustration
Mommy wasting the day away with simple activities with boys: indescribable joy
Mommy tired as F from the holidays and wanting a nap: holy frustration, batman
Off to consider the possibility of clothes today.

Amen to everything you said...Such a fun holiday season but my mind and my waistline are soooo ready to get back into a routine...albeit very hard to wake up this a.m. to get going on that routine. Such a fun New Year's Eve with you guys...stay tuned pictures should be up by this evening! Have a good day!
Miss you as well! Must be in touch ASAP...want to visit tomorrow afternoon post-nap? Tommy is just getting over a cold but I can update you in the a.m. on how he's doing...
