Monday Morning

It is finally Monday, I hate to say normal because I never know anymore what is normal. At least it seems normal so far. My husband and I got up yesterday morning and we decided that before we went to bed last night we were going to be finished Christmas shopping. We were not going to come back home until we were finished. We did it then we came home and got every single thing wrapped and put under the tree.

We finished up the online things and except for the stockings I am finished. I think sitting there at the courthouse lit a fire under me. All I could do was sit there and think of all of the things I had not got accomplished. I didn't care how tired I felt this weekend I was going to push through it. I told my son while I was at jury duty if he would finish all of his school on his own, for the next two weeks, we would take our vacation today.

When I got home on Friday night he brought me his work and the lesson plans and he had done it all. So as of today I am on vacation. Which doesn't mean much except I won't be going upstairs to do school. Now I can bake and clean house and sew and all of the things that I normally put off in a normal week. I can walk to my hearts content and not be rushing because I need to do school. In a normal week when I am doing school I do this sprint thing all day long. Now I can just be on half speed.

It is so nice to be home and the weather here is going to be winter like all this week. For us, it will be cold and there will be snow in the mountains. We have fog today. You know how some of you that live with snow in the winter.
Well it doesn't feel like December because you don't have snow on the ground? Well it is the same with me and fog. It doesn't feel like Christmas until we have fog. The air is damp and wet and it smells like Christmas to me.
I am so thankful to be right where I am right now. I feel like I have just a lovely week before me.

Thank you for stopping by today,
Kim
