This post is for my sister who was getting depressed at having to look at N's depressed face every time she checked my blog. Although, now that N is getting one of her eye teeth, that face sadly still applies.
We had a lovely time last week with family. One of my sisters came into town with her family and we played and played. It was crazy and fun, and it was hard to see them go. We also had a great time with A's family on New Year's Eve, even ringing in the new year at 8 pm so the kiddos could go to bed.
And now, it's back to real life. Even though I worked for most of the Christmas break, my kids weren't in school, which meant I had a lot less "schedule" to worry about. It was nice. But now we're back to cranky kids who are late for school and homework. Oh, homework. How I hate you.
A and I got new callings in church. We teach T's Primary class. To make this possible, the babies went into nursery three weeks early. They both did fine the first Sunday, but I didn't fare as well. Halfway through singing time, I started getting blind spots, which progressed into a nausea-inducing migraine. Thankfully, I didn't throw up in the middle of a room of small children, but it was close. I'm sad about not being in Relief Society anymore, especially since we barely know anyone in the ward as it is. But at least we get to hear awesome comments every week, such as, "My dad got me a cheese." Thanks for sharing, buddy.
One last thought. I've come to the conclusion that when there's a conflict between my children being happy/having fun and being clean/quiet, I'd almost always choose clean and quiet. I suspect this makes me somewhat of a bad mother, or at least one who's not all that adventurous. Hmm.

thank you...thank you very much. That picture was way too sad to look at.
Here's a thought...why can't happy and having fun coexist with clean and quiet? Why? I ask you why???
I'm gonna go with that is why I love movies so much....I think that is the closest it gets to having fun while keeping things mostly clean and quiet.
I too am having a hard time moving back into my scheduled routine again. I did work over the break a little, but not nearly as much as normal. And of course the kids were off. And I didn't go to the gym once. Now everything is back on the schedule and *sigh* I just wasn't ready yet! Good thing we get a Christmas every year. Guess I'll just hold out for the next one, haha.
Congrats on the new calling! Is Teichert ok sharing you with the rest of the class?
Regarding your previous post about the Christmas you want to forget. For some reason I think it must be a law that every family has a "puking" Christmas to remember.
Sadly, I remember one when I was a child when I threw up on Christmas Eve at the rehearsal for our big neighborhood Christmas play. (I was playing Mary!)
And of course the one when David and I and Adam and Jenna couldn't even get up to open presents.
One year, Instead of singing "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" I was singing, "No more puke, no more puke, no more puke!" Here's to a vomit-free New Year!
