The holidays passed with a bit less stress than usual. It was good to have more fun than stress!! I spent the holidays with my family as well as my husband's.
My husband needed a break, from work and reality. So just where does one go to lose reality??? DISNEYLAND of course!! Chris and I took the youngest boys (and only kids left at home) to Disneyland for 6 days. It was great!! Didn't have to cook one meal or clean up.....now that's my kind of vacation! New Years in Disneyland is very crowded, but fun. The fog kept us from really seeing the fireworks, but they seemed cool.
With the close of the holiday season, so came the close of my job. Yep, I had a job! First outside-the-house employment in, ummmmmm 12 years! Nothing spectacular. Just taking orders over the phone. It was kinda fun, but I did miss being home and available to the kids. I had forgotten the stress of being a working mother! Hats off to all of you working moms.
My 3rd child just turned 12! WOW! It's not like I haven't experienced this age before, but I don't think I ever thought my youngest two kids would grow up. Duh! What will I do once they have raduated high school??? Yep, that's the type of thoughts crossing my mind.....in between driving the kids, laundry, cooking, and the shopping! Gee, just what will I find to do???? I'm thinking I'll think of something!
What was I just saying about cooking...it's that time of night. Dinnertime. And guess who will be making it?? Me of course! And who will complain about it? My kids!
And so...these are the days of my life......... to be continued
