..And Mom and Dad can hardly wait....
We are officially 3 days in to Christmas Vacation, and I can't wait for January 3rd. Although I did go through a small amount of empty house syndrome when my youngest started school this year, it only lasted about 2 hours. Then I opted for a bath...with bubbles... in the middle of the day... with the bathroom door open.
The kids are not bad... not really. I have just become accustomed to, and protective of, my time and space alone. Add to that the extra mess and stress of Dad being home during this week too. It's nice to have someone to talk to- it is equally as un-nice to have everyone in my way. There is little more frustrating than trying to clean up around someone who is sitting on the couch like a bump on a dog's dick. They are not helping- they are certainly making sure I have plenty to do in my job of cooking, cleaning, and holding my mental state together.
My entire schedule is in chaos. The TV is blaring in the middle of the day- something that is unfamiliar to the walls of this home... Usually, it is loud music and a crazy woman dancing around the floor with a dust mop, singing at the top of her lungs. So, I am trying to count my blessings for having my family around me- and counting the days until I can miss them again.
God bless my iPod.
