Holidays

Well all ~ this Holiday season has been bit of a bummer for me. This is the first year that I have had Christmas and New Year without my children. They are spending it with their dad in Chicago this year and it's been a rough few days (my sons birthday is December 31st on top of that). We typically do up the holidays pretty big ~ big dinner, putting up the tree and decorations, baking the cookies for Santa (my daughter is 9), Christmas breakfast....the whole shebang!!! My house has been so quiet, I have read 2 books in 2 days and about to start on my third, my to-do list that I thought would last me from Dec 18th - Jan 1st was done by Dec 20th, and I have 6 more days to go before my daughter comes home (my son lives with their dad in Chicago, but he has been coming down here for the past 2 years since I relocated). Being away from family during this time has really made me take a look at where I am at logistically and considering relocating (again). And on top of all that.... I found 3 gray hairs in my head!!!!!
