I may or may not have been feeling a bit sorry for myself with my last ‘I don’t feel like writing’ post, but that is over and done with and I’m back. And I’m full of gusto. Mostly because I feel like Maggie is finally back to herself, making demands and bossing the rest of us around like we’re HER people. I guess we ARE her people, but still, nobody likes to be bossed around.
We were in A-Town for a few days visiting folks and I was slated to work yesterday, but since Maggie was sick I opted to stay with her and not work. Even though she slept most of the day, I’m really glad that I was able to be there to comfort her when she was awake. It would have been asking a lot of my mom to watch her and I would have been useless at work.
We’ve been on the go since before Thanksgiving, I think it really knocked Maggie out not being able to fully commit to her naps, etc. It was a huge, huge reminder to me how important it is for all of us, not just Maggie, to make sure we’re getting good sleep and eating well during this busy time of year. I’m going to do everything I can to avoid being sick or having a sick family.
Last weekend (seriously 2 days after Thanksgiving) we decided to get our tree and decorate for Christmas. On that same day we decided to rearrange some furniture and paint our guest bedroom….our house looked like a total disaster sprinkled with a bit of Christmas cheer.
But now we’ve got our mistletoe hung and our tree is sassy and fat looking, I’m pumped. We’ve had trees in the past, but they’ve always been really sad Charlie Brown trees. This tree is fluffy and smells up our whole house, I’m in love.
Our next task?
Hang the outside lights!!!!
Welcome, December!!!
