There’s Always Tomorrow…

I’ve had in my mind (scary place for sure – wait… maybe that is the problem?) anyway… I’ve had in my mind the idea that Wednesday Jan. 2nd I’d get back to my life.  I’ve been working on a list of things to tackle once the house cleared out.  Little did I know that I’d not fall asleep until 4 AM and therefore not get up until after 8:30 AM… so my morning is shot already and I’m tired before I’ve even glanced at my list.  So… there is always tomorrow…

My daughter and grandkids left this past Friday morning and my husband and I have spent the days since doing vegetable impressions in the living room.  Not because we were devastated that they were gone after 7 months - we just both gave up fighting the colds that had been nagging at us over Christmas.

Their leaving has it’s good and bad points…

  • The dog will loose weight as there are no longer scraps of food on the floor…
  • …but I will have to start mopping the kitchen floor as the dog will no longer be interested in licking it clean
  • I will be able to find things in the refrigerator…
  • …after I clean it out
  • I won’t have to spend all my time cooking and cleaning in the kitchen…
  • …but I will miss sharing meals with the kiddos
  • I can get in my car and go anytime I want to…
  • …there are no longer sweet little faces to greet me when I get home – or watch as they play - or kiss goodnight

OK… that’s enough of that list…

Except to say that I’ll also get to spend some time sewing again… after I put the toy boxes and Christmas stuff back into the attic storage and clear out my sewing room… again.  It seems like I’m always cleaning out or rearranging my sewing room… I need to fix that.

I hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas and I wish for you all the Most Happy of New Years!

I’ll be back… after I tackle a thing or two on my list… and maybe get in a nap or two.

Life is always bittersweet,tearing you in many directions. I'm sure your Christmas was fun and after your cold settles down, your New Year will be full of fun as well.
