Christmas is over, thank goodness
We made it through yesterday. Christmas is always a big stressor for me, for reasons I've recounted in the past, so I won't bother you with it again.
This week the kids are on vacation. Tomorrow, Thursday, they go with Grandpa (their maternal grandfather) for their annual hotel overnight, where they'll get to go swimming and have fun at a local hotel. Then the following day Grandma (their paternal grandmother) will take them up to Newport for the weekend, and I won't see them again until New Year's Day, I don't think. It'll be a nice break for us, and it'll be fun for them.
