Today is my amazing husband's birthday. I always feel like I short change him because it is so right after the holidays, but this year I had gifts for him...actual gifts to open. Then this morning I realized I didn't have a birthday card, so I'm still not completely on top of things. I did at least leave the kids some cash so they could go buy him a card from them. Anyway, in the last 90 days we have celebrated the birthdays of all four of us, and of course Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's a crazy three month period of the year, but also my favorite.
Today also marks the end of the holiday season, as Andrew and I went back to work. I ended up taking the morning off and I'm grateful my school was okay with it. Six weeks ago today was the Tuesday just two days before Thanksgiving...one of my favorite days of the year. It really kicks off the holiday season, and those six weeks are generally awesome. It always makes today rougher, in my opinion.
We did manage to venture to our family's favorite restaurant in Cincinnati this evening. I felt a little grumpy about it because it is such a drive, but traffic wasn't bad at all, and since neither Andrew nor I had any students, we were both able to get out of school a little early. And the kids are home, so that made it even better. In fact, it really was what I needed to do this evening. I loved the dinner, I loved having all four of us at the table, and I love the fact that I am generally home early enough to get some things done. I'm feeling grateful this evening!
