This is what I woke up to today. Stunning.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments (including the ones I received by email). The break was actually VERY productive and while NOT staring at my comp-oo'er monitor, I got a lot done. Doesn't it feel great to have those nagging "To Do" lists completed?
And no, my Christmas cards aren't handmade this year, but my kids attended every birthday party they were invited to. I lived in my car for two days trying to drive these country roads from one party to the next-- why can't all of my kids be invited to the same party? Why can't these parents get together and have one massive party for my sake?
I also addressed half of my BOXED cards (but they have the cutest little red British post box on them), got the tree up with the top half decorated (you can forget the bottom half with Miss Ky living here). Woo Hoo, Holiday Chaos, bring it on!
that's beautiful!! hope you're not in the gutter too long. i can't relate to your experience as far as having 5 children (i have one) and a deployed husband (mine works a regular ol' gig), but wow, it just sounds really exciting to be living in another country. i can imagine things get difficult raising your children on your own, but i say enjoy the experience of living in england! turn those lemons into some sweet lemonade. (okay, that was probably really corny, but you know what i mean...)
