The beginning of our break has not been the most fun to be honest. I really wanted things picked up around the house, and the kids really just wanted to sit, veg, and do absolutely nothing. They also wanted to have a horrible attitude and bicker plenty. It made for some very long days, especially yesterday when I wouldn't let them just sit and watch TV...which really shouldn't surprise them!
We did celebrate Christmas with my Dad's side on Sunday. It was a nice day, but overall I think everyone just kind of wanted to move on and be done. Several of us are very displeased with an uncle, and his attitude makes it tough to be around. The weather doesn't help either, as we are in the process of setting record highs, and frankly we could even mow the grass if we really wanted (which I do not)!
Last evening though, we made popcorn in our "fancy" popper, and everyone gathered in the living room to watch "Sleepless in Seattle". The kids had never seen it before, and it had been years since I had seen it myself. I don't think I had seen it since I became a parent, and to be honest, it made me much more emotional this time around. The kids really enjoyed it though, and it was a very nice way to end our evening.
Today, the house is finally really picked up and I'm REALLY looking forward to relaxing...even if the weather is ridiculously warm!
