Really, I do.
But I'm spearheading a petition to be sure that next year they are in school until a lot closer to Christmas. They've been home, with me, since last Friday. I admit, I was looking forward to spending the week together, but in reality?
I've tried really hard to strike a balance between "Fun Mommy" and "Give-Me-An-Hour-So-I-Can-Get-Something-Done Mom". But I'm starting to fade......
We've done baking, shopping, crafting, sledding, carolling, touring lights, had lunch out, visited friends, seen our cousin's hockey game, picked out our Christmas tree, wrapped, decorated the tree, and watched Christmas specials. I've done laundry, vacuuming, cleaning, cooking, groceries, and all kinds of super-secret Christmas stuff. Frankly, by last night I was just plain worn out.
Perfect timing, really. Because that's when the enforcements arrived in the form of two grandmas and a grandpa.
Since then it's been a steady stream of treats, songs, games, breakfast out, and more.
I guess that Santa really has been watching. He knows how good I've been because he sent me what I really wanted the most - a distraction for my kids so that I can have a couple of minutes to myself.
Thank you Santa.
And thank you Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma.
