Can it be? Is it nearly here?!? Christmas! How strange it has been enjoying the season. You would think all my baking and shopping would be done & my house would be clean....lol...yeah right. Reality set in & life got busy. Now, don't get me wrong, compared to being a working mom, this is a hell of a lot less crazy....but we added several tasks to life that weren't there when I was working....for one, the boys are both in basketball. So this weekend was spent lugging the kids to and from their games (2 on Saturday, 1 on Sunday) and then sqeezing church and faith formation in between. I blinked & my weekend was gone!! I wouldn't have changed it for the world!
I did manage to watch Kung Fu Panda 2 with the boys. Of everything, that had to be my favorite moment of the entire weekend. Vincey, exhuasted & at one point, got up and said 'g'night' while heading upstairs...I really thought the lil booger was putting himself to bed. Reality set in for him with the dark hallways and empty rooms & he headed back down right away....he settled on stopping at the closet, pulling out a blanket and snuggling on mommy's lap with his lil arms slung around my neck. Dom, of course, got in on the action and scooted over, nestling himself under my arm (and under the covers too). I kissed his head and whispered 'you wanted some momma love too' he whispered back 'no momma, I'm just scared'. I pretened he had said 'yes' and kept on snuggling. I love that my boys watch TV with a blanket...it drives hubby nuts, but there are certain things you watch your children do and you smile because you just KNOW they got that from you.....and that is so me!
Today is my last really 'busy' day. I now watch 5 children in addition to my 3 (only 1 is mon-fri, 3 are 3-4 days a week & 1 is as needed and temporary) and today I have them all.....for the last time this year. I will have 1 still, for the rest of the week, but after lugging 5 kids to target (3 of the oldest were at school at the time) on an emergency diaper run the 1 doesn't even phase me...so I am taking it easy...playing with the kids (after they get up from nap) and tomorrow I will start palnning for cookie baking & present wrapping......
Merry Christmas!
