True confession: I am so glad his R&R is not over Christmas break.
That may sound bizarre, but let me explain. I would love nothing more than to have my whole family together for Christmas (and every other day). But knowing that I only have 14 days.... no, not over Christmas vacation. Too many visiting relatives and other such chaos, I don't think we'd really have a chance to be with him.
The kids and I are done. Exhausted. We are ready to sit around in our pjs for two whole weeks and do absolutely nothing. Maybe play in the snow, should more happen our way. If my husband were here, we would have to do things. Go places. Not spend all day laying on the couch in yoga pants and a sweatshirt eating too many Christmas cookies.
We're in that month #6 slump.
Don't misunderstand, I would cheerfully do things if he were here. But since he's not, boy, is that couch looking welcoming. We can all rest, mentally and physically, and be ready for fun when he does get here some time in January. Heck, I might even be able to starve off the extra holiday pounds before he arrives.
True confession #2: Tonight, I am turning off my Skype and going to sleep early.
The baby was sooo restless last night. I think I got about 3-4 hours of sleep. I have had 5 huge cups of tea and 2 large cups of coffee and have remained standing all day in an attempt to stay awake (snow day- no chance for a nap). Tonight, I am so tired, even a restless baby won't keep me up. Normally, I sit and wait, like the teenaged girl in stories, waiting for my Skype to ring. Sorry, babe. I'll be in dreamland. Maybe I'll see you there.
Hark, it is nearly 8 and late enough to be bedtime. :)
Nighty-night all.
I totally understand what you just said. I sometimes not look forward to when he gets home because of the amount of money we blow when he does; but we thoroughly enjoy our time together, and that usually entails lots of money. I'm sorry that you're tired. Wish I could be there to visit with you in person...
