I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, full of happiness and laughter.

Ours was uneventful, quiet. Well, I take that back. Quiet AFTER my 2 nieces left. Can you say peace & quiet? It is amazingly difficult to go from having a home with a dog to having a 2 & 3 1/2 year old running around (oh, and a dog that doesn't know what the heck to do with himself!). For the most part they were very good, having had enough of being at someone elses house about Saturday pm, too bad they were "fogged" in until Sunday morning, at which time, they almost got snowed in. However, off they went and safely home they arrived. Thank goodness to all involved! I love them dearly and adore my sister, but again, it is incredibly difficult going from a no child home to a 2 child home. In addition to that, having those 2 children have different rules at home than they have here, my local niece/nephew have very similar rules at home as they do here and therefore, are well aware of what is acceptable behavior and what will get their ass smacked.

Christmas day consisted of a nice breakfast with my husband, a nice dinner with he and my mother in law and vegging in front of the TV. I was in bed by 8pm. I think I have Mamamins ick factor going on as I am incredibly nauseated and just want to crawl into bed. Which, I think I will do in the next little while.

At any rate, safe travels to those of you that continue to be on the road.
