Topic: People/Family stories
Today we stayed home.....all day long. Yes, all six of us.
What we didn't do:
...shop for anything.
...bake anything.
...make any lists.
...look at any lists.
...wrap anything.
...cry or sigh or worry or scurry.
What we did do:
...ate soup for lunch.
...tapped buttons on our computers.
...ate biscotti that was for gifts.
...ate half a pound of toffee between us all. (also meant for gifts)
...read about 25 Christmas cards that we hadn't had time to get read yet.
...took pictures with new cell phones....early Christmas gifts.
...answered the door to a gift and run friend. =)
...played one round of LOTR monopoly....Emma won.
...watched Pirates of the Carribean. (the first one)
...while snuggled under blankies.
...with movie theater style popcorn.
...talked, laughed, tickled, turned on all the twinkle lights, indoors and out, all day long!
It's good to make one day of nothing in the midst of all the hustle, bustle. Tomorrow 3 of the family are going to Mexico to hand out gifts to children at the church we sponsor in Nogales, Bethany has to work, I have one more gift to buy, perhaps a quick trip to the grocery store, and I will be baking and wrapping...all day long. (well, maybe Maggie and I will sneak in one movie, snuggled under blankies)
Bethany did have to go to work at 4pm. We all felt great sorrow for her and then made cheesy chicken green enchiladas for dinner.
I feel very relaxed tonight.
