Well, I guess it is time for the Holiday Season to come to a close with this New Year Day Celebration. I will choose I think to leave the decorations up until January 6th as I am not ready to put them all away yet. It makes the house look so festive, and I was still putting finishing touches out on December 23rd I believe!! LOL
It seemed to be an unusual Season this year for me. We celebrated Halloween with the littles and then it seemed things went all askew. Mike ended up in the hospital for 3 days with what turned out to be pneumonia with fluid at the base of his lung (which was extracted). Then a friend came to spend two weeks here while she took some classes over in Maple Grove (not too far from here). I did get a few decos out before she came but then things got very busy while she was here. She ended up having a crisis with her health and that threw me into a mood, as she pleaded with me to take care of her and literally, two weeks before Christmas, I didn't have the time. I needed to finish up the Christmas boxes for the kiddos (24 little gifts for each day before Christmas) and get them delivered. Then there was the actual Christmas shopping and wrapping and decorating. I never did get my Christmas cards out. We entertained at our home for Christmas Eve (21 people) and then had our kids and their families on Christmas Day......very much fun!! The Sunday before Xmas I had a flashing going on in the right eye, so got that checked out last Wed.......now I am being watched for a detachment of the retina....hoping it will pass. AND to top it all off, I got called for Jury Duty starting Jan 22nd. I put in for a postponement until March and hope it works. Sister Cindy is coming for a January visit and I don't want to be busy with all of that hoopla. It will be great to have her here, as Mike will be busy as ever with his wrestling agenda. I will also have Amy's kiddo's starting on the 8th of January through the 12th. Busy times!
That is life.....just when you think things will slow up a little it all picks up ..... and that is probably good as who wants down time on their hands??
Anyway, Happiest of New Year's to all reading this. (are there any out there?)
Hopefully, 2013 will be a great year for all!
Yes : )
