I’m off today like all Thursdays but the kids are at daycare because they didn’t go Tuesday. My goal is to get the house back in order. I’m going through toys and taking a bunch to the basement and trying to organize.... everything. The cleaning lady will be here today too. Can’t wait for a clean house tonight! We’re taking down the tree and cleaning the house today also, cannot wait. The only difference is that daycare is closed so we’re wrangling the kids, hopefully I can get a lot done while J is napping.

Considering I had an entire box of just cups to get rid of the other day, I don't even want to try and weed out toys. Maybe Monday....

MH is home with the kids today and texted me that the tree and all decorations are down! So excited to go home to a clean house free of Christmas stuff!!!

I did everything but the lights on the tree. I'd like it around for just a few more days. I can't believe it used to stay up til 1/6 when I was growing up.

Our tree is just starting to really shed needles so I think it'll go to the pony's this weekend. I look forward to the living room growing again lol.

We took our tree down the day after Christmas, and I made passing mention of it on Facebook. Got a couple of bah humbugs. I love Christmas, but I have no interest in dragging it out.

Nobody leaving the tree till January 6th? That is custom her. We’re taking it down early this year, because we’re going on vacation Saturday for a week and do not want to come home to a very dead tree.

I typically always leave our tree and stuff up until New Years, but this year I just want it down and gone!

We usually leave the tree up until I have Christmas with my mom and brother. That happened the day after Christmas, so mh took it down that night. I took Cadence's tree down yesterday and I'm glad to have my house back. Other than all the trash still hanging around because the garbage men didn't come yesterday!

Hi! The tree comes down after new years for sure for us. I need a gradual transition back to reality.

Hi!
Work, work, work. We're leaving to go out of town today after I get off of work. I'm mostly packed, but just have to throw a few last minute items in bags when I get home. If my husband doesn't have the car mostly packed, heads will roll. He is always not anywhere near ready when we are supposed to leave as soon as I get off. Men...

It makes me so mad. MH could have the whole day off with the kids in daycare and he'll spend the day running totally random errands and cleaning the garage. Then he gets all annoyed when I come home and get frustrated. He is also the slowest car packer ever.

cagoldi how are you and the kids doing today? tgrimes how's your nephew? He’s still the same. I’m amazed at all of his friends and teachers though. Everyone has been coming up to visit him and hang out for awhile. That way my sister can run home and shower and check in the other kids. Even his principal called to check on him when he heard what happened. But you know, my own mother doesn’t call to check on him...

I mean, a lot of people have marital issues. But to not check on your grandson?! WTF. I'm glad his social circle is being so great though. Hopefully he turns a corner soon!

Hi ladies, slow day at the office reading intern reports and my god their writing is awful, it’s insane. One of them literally wrote ‘according to scientific studies elderly people in nursing homes are often lonely. I think these studies are exaggerating, in the home I work in family visitors come every week’... One of them quit and didn’t feel the need to inform us or her client. not looking forward to guiding them the rest of the school year. On a positive note, our lunch ladies brought oliebollen! They’re a typical Dutch New Year’s Eve treat, basically fried dough balls (with or without raisins) which you eat with powdered sugar.

Everyone left my house, we ate lunch and now S is napping and H is having quiet time. I might attempt to go to target and the mall after nap is over. I hope it’s less busy today.

Debating on taking nap or working out before getting the kids. I know what I should do but a nap would be amazing. I shoveled the whole driveway this morning, that counts as a workout, right??

Remember how I was freaking out about school last week? The thing that had pushed me over the edge was my two big projects due Christmas Eve. Just checked my grades and I got a 98% and 100% on them.... I’m kind of waiting for both of my professors to message me and be like, sorry I input someone else’s grade in your grade book.... I’m shocked! Very happy! But shocked!

MH took the kids to his parents house for a couple hours so we can go see Pitch Perfect 2, haha. I kinda want to spend the time lounging in my bed, but I won't complain
