Whew, I feel like I needed to go to work today just to get a break.
This weekend felt like it sped by, what with shopping with my mom and the girls on Saturday, a family gathering on Sunday and baking during the very few downtimes we managed to find.
When I finally sat down yesterday evening to watch Once Upon a Time with Alyssa, I felt like I’d been going all day long. Why does being in a car for over an hour each way tire a body out so much?
But cookies were baked (and eaten, which is the best part), fudge was stirred, gifts were exchanged and hugs were shared.
When we got home baths were taken, books were read, backs were scratched and little girls slept.
All in all, a pretty darned good way to spend a couple of days.
This morning when I woke her up, Olivia mumbled, “Is today Monday?”
When I told her it was, she groaned. Then I told her that she only had this week before she got two whole weeks off for Christmas break.
That woke her right up. She said up and gave a vigorous, “Yay!”
Do I know how to turn a frown upside down or what?
A mom, a dad and two daughters. We're living ordinary lives with a twist of 5p- (Cri du Chat) for spice. But we're about so much more than our younger daughter's genetic diagnosis.

I have felt this way for at least a month where my weekends are more exhausting than my weekdays. I really need my upcoming break!
