all at once

christmas day seemed a bit off to start with this year. once my dad arrived, it felt more normal. we all felt his absence the night before, not having him here to read the night before christmas to the kids. he said he forgot he read to them! :-( and then he had to leave early cos of the snow, blah!

i am determined to spend time as a family this week though. we did some things today, not a lot but i think the kids needed a day to do nothing as it were. tomorrow is homework and reading and maybe some games day....and i have boring stuff like bills and laundry!! haha! :-(

the snow will keep most everyone else at home. so much for going out shopping or with my girlfriends to the pictures! maybe i can read some more. i need to finish these last two books for 2010. i wanted to reach a 60 book goal, but fell short :-( oh well!!


~the end~
