It’s good to be back!
I can’t wait to sift through my reader, visit you all, and hear all about your holidays.
I was away and with family but I planned to stay in a bit closer touch with you and my blog…but life intervened. My mom, who’s a two day drive from us, was hospitalized as we drove toward Indiana.
She’s much better now. In two days she was home from the hospital, but since she wasn’t in top shape, I hosted Christmas in her house. I did the cooking and the wrapping and the baking, along with the other things I had planned to do. So it was a very full, busy time as I played Mom, Daughter, Sister, Grandmom, and Wife.
Things are still spinning a bit – my house and classroom aren’t in the shape I’d like them to be. But they’ll get there, with time. Little by little.
I learned several things this Christmas. Nobody told me how hard it would be to say goodbye to a grandbaby as they strapped him in his carseat…
But it was an awesome family time. We filled up my mom’s house – the college boys, the California son, and our eldest son’s precious wife and Aiden.
Space was at a premium, but there was no shortage of love.
Hope your last couple of weeks have been joyous ones.
