I’m hoping that all the people who read this blog have been just as busy as I have been and haven’t had time to check and see that I haven’t updated in a few days. I don’t know why I thought Christmas vacation would actually feel like a “vacation,” because we haven’t stopped moving since the kids got out of school.
Two days ago we went camping, yesterday we got home, unpacked, cleaned up, ran off to Christmas Eve service and then I spent the night cooking, cooking, cooking. Because today we are having a bunch of people over for dinner, but before that we are going to a Christmas brunch (cooking for that too) and tomorrow morning we are leaving for Dubai for a few days and of course we still have to pack. In fact, I still have to finish laundry from camping to get the clothes clean to pack them, not to mention that the house looks like we camped in our living room so we have to get that picked up before our 11 friends join us to eat today. Josh just walked in the kitchen and asked, “Do we have enough silverware?” So that tells you exactly where we’re at on the preparedness level. Since I just realized we probably don’t have enough plates either, lack of silverware is a minor hiccup. But I do have my beautiful, grown up table cloth, so at least we can sit at the table and look at that.
Gotta run — we’re off to brunch! Merry Christmas!
