Shallow Post-Cruise musings....

While we were gone the kids made cookies, helped put up and decorate a Christmas tree, watched movies, played video games, went to 2 Christmas parties, went to 2 different Primaries, made gingerbread houses, painted christmas ornaments, played at Pirates Cove, chased a cute little doggie around, dug for bones at the dinosaur museum, ate ice cream, sang Christmas songs and much, much more. Spoiled? It really is a miracle to me they weren't bawling their eyes out when we came home.  We have the best family. They rotated around from my little sisters' and her hubs, to my big sisters' and her hubs, to my cousins' and her new hub, to kyle's brother and sister-in-law. We are blessed.

I went through a few pants before deciding on a pair to wear this morning. Why? They weren't zipping up. I can't imagine after 7 solid days of eating around the clock and exerting a minimal amount of energy how on earth I could have gained 5 lbs and every last one of them finding their way down to my hips. Awesome.
I need a haircut. Bad. But my toes are painted and my face is a tad shade darker than it was last week, so for those reasons, I am able to survive ratty hair.  Until tomorrow.

Nothing like the post-vacation bomb of suitcases, laundry, school papers and mail to explode and then to get a call from the land lord while grocery shopping that he wants to show the house in an hour.  That really made my day. I am so exhausted from the mad-dash kamakazi-style cleaning that I am refusing to clear the dinner table tonight. (that and I may be in denial about not being waited on hand and foot any longer.)

I still love the snow. Even though I spent a week in 80-degree weather, I am not hating the snow. So long as I have the Subie to drive.

Today I bought 3 sleds at Costco. Can't wait to try them out. It's one of my favorite pasttimes. Was hoping to do it for FHE tonight.

FHE was cancelled. Hubby has a mancold.  Pray for him.  He was delieriously calling out to me not long ago funny things in his sleep. Example: "I didn't know you did that much work at Home Depot!" ????  Honey, when you're sick and delirious, there's a lot you may realize you didn't know about me. :)

Trying to decide if I care that the seller wants to wait to move out the home we just bought until after Christmas.  ????  Yep, just found out today.  I think living-life-in-limbo is my middle name.
