Holiday's End

My holiday week is over. My 5 year old learned to ride a T bar without falling off and to ski down the 'big hill'. My 3 year old gave me oh so much love...just what her mama needed AND I found out that I can rejoice at 6 am! Who knew?

Holiday

So it is here. Another holiday. Another opportunity to extinguish the guilt I carry around every moment of every day for working away from my home and my children.

Challenge number one: to remain light hearted and congenial when Max wakes me at 6:00am each and every day.

Challenge number two: to cram in all the doctor/dentist/gynecologist appointments we need to catch up with.

Challenge number three: Not to waste away the days.

Challenge number four: Not to over-schedule

(Number three and Number four are hard to balance).

I think the key will be to get up every day being thankful that Max is such a bubbly morning person, that we are all healthy, that we have so much time to spend with one another and to rejoice in each and every day we are given! The interesting thing and the real challenge will be...can I remember to do this at 6am?

Can one really rejoice this early.

We shall see.
