After math

The aftermath of Christmas is sometimes more stressful that the prep work! I got the trees down in record time and the house has returned to normal which is a blessing because it just seemed so crowded, with Sara coming home...all the new 'stuff' to find places for and the adjustment period of all the dogs....which has turned out very happy. They all love each other and they all love me! =)  There has been the break ups of my daughter, my nephew and his long time girlfriend and even my ex and his baby momma. There have been several deaths...my SIL's dad, her daughters FIL and even a guy Sara works with lost his wife...all of which are so tragic. There is illness abound and no one can seem to get 'over' it fully, before another hits. Negative energy is following us around like the plague so the new year is our beacon of light/hope. I didn't mean to turn this post into a whine-fest, so I will now spin some happiness...we are all together....working towards a better life, every second and with every breathe. My hubby is working as am I...my kids are doing fabulous! We have food in our bellies and a warm home, with puppy kisses! I wanted to share with you a few photos...

It was grand! We went to the movies in the afternoon together, then everyone napped but me! I was cleaning...so I was happy too! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and as for the New Year...I hope yours ROCKS!
