Mystie’s Status
Cleaning up the kitchen so that I can cook and bake more tomorrow.
Tidying up the living room and play room so that there will be room for an influx of new stuff all week.
Laundering clothes so we have clean outfits to dirty the rest of the week.
Wrapping gifts so that they can be unwrapped in a few days.
Bundling boys up so that they can bring in the cold and wet.
Making mental notes for next year that — whether or not they make it to paper — will be lost.
Yet, actually, I love this life. Moreover, I love Christmas celebration.
And, I even took the time to enjoy the piles of snow with the boys, teaching them how to make snow angels. Of course, now they are both crying and whining while shedding their wet clothes, and they probably won’t get hot chocolate because of their attitudes, but it was fun while it lasted.
