I hope everyone is having a quiet and relaxing weekend, and enjoying whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year.
Tom and I and the Bubba are home, just the three of us, building our own holiday traditions. It's amazing to witness everything through this little one's eyes, and think about the years we have ahead of us. Mornings like this.
I'm sure the upcoming year is only going to get busier (especially if the next few months are any indication), but I hope they're half as fun as the past year has been.
Onwards to 2018!
There are times, and today is one of them, where I look around and I’m so thankful and over the moon happy for this family that I have. Pinch my arm because I’m not sure how I got this lucky, happy. Not all days are like this, of course, and if I’m being honest the whole day didn’t even feel like this. But it ended well, and so as I’m sitting in the dark with a baby that’s almost asleep, I’m holding on to that feeling.
Most days I’m just spinning in circles trying to do damage control and make sure at least the majority of the children are fed and not crying. My mental to do list is constant and never ending, and when I collapse in bed at the end of the day (or the start of the next day? Trust me it’s late) I don’t have a lot of time to think about where we are in life.
