This week between Christmas and New Year's is always a bit odd for me. It's like I'm not really sure what to do with myself. I certainly enjoy the downtime, the not having much on the "to-do" or "to-go" list. We've been sleeping late, breakfast at noon, binge watching on Netflix, indenting the couch cushions, and generally just hanging out together. It's really the best Christmas present I get...this week after. But it leaves me feeling a bit unsure of things. A bit like what's my purpose, besides feeding these people all the time! Geez...you never realize how frequently kids need to eat, until you are home with them for two weeks! Tonight, we are going to ring in the new year in the same casual fashion as the rest of this week...at home sushi, card games, Netflix and sparkling apple cider! Wild bunch here, right?! 2014 was a simple year...nothing too dramatic. Lots to be grateful for...good health, smart and tale...
Somedays I feel like I've done it all. To look at me, you might say "now that's an ordinary mom". Dig a little deeper and you'll find I've led a pretty interesting life, done some pretty extraordinary things, especially once I became a mother of four wonderful, extremely different children! Unique personalities and needs, all wonderful, trying and glorious at the same time!
