Merry Christmas...makeover!!

We decided to have our holiday time at home this year. After being away last year we came back feeling worn out and frazzled. Well, I'm not sure if staying at home will do the trick either. We had so many social engagements just before the Christmas break plus Andrew turned 40 on December 20 so there were a couple of celebrations for that. After a low key Christmas Day, it was straight into work... Andrew ordered a huge "skippy bin". I don't know what you call it but it can fit a LOT of garbage in it!! We have not moved in 15 years and our garage reflects that. The last couple of days have been busy as we have cleared out the whole area, sorting as we go. Then today, one of the boys forgot to connect the grey water hose when putting a load on and the laundry flooded. By the time we cleared all of that out and moved things around, the day was almost gone and all of the garage things were still outside... On top of all this, we decided to start potty training with Mark this week. He has learned to keep his pants dry as long as possible but still freezes up when the potty is in view. We've tried several things but he is immovable at the moment! Plus several of the boys have nagging coughs that seem to affect them more at bed time. So, yes, it's been a tiring week and I feel like I'm scurrying around everywhere but not really achieving much. It's one of those phases where it gets worse before it gets better. We do plan to get our family newsletter out in the next week as well so bear with us, we'll get there!! |
