And... I'm out the other side!
I've made it to the other end! All the crazy Christmas creative projects and gatherings and frantic packing kids in the car to take them to visit family every day and staying up late every night for parades and to see christmas lights or for family gatherings and then staying up even later after I'd got them in bed to work on food or digitally mastering audio, and setting off the fire alarms at 2am on Christmas morning by cleaning the oven.
I'm alive.
I was awesome.
I even managed to have a pretty relaxing Christmas Day all told despite the lack of sleep. Hubby loved his song (although I'm still going to tweak a line or two before I upload it). Visiting family are gone. I had 9 hours sleep last night. Hubby's taken the kids out to the coffee shop, and I'm blissfully alone for the morning.
(In the photo at the table, I (in the purple shirt) and my three children, my mum, and my four sisters are sitting closest to the camera. The rest are two of my brothers-in-law, my nine nieces and four nephews, and one nephew's girlfriend. Oh, and Hubby's in there too hidden away at the middle-back. He's the strikingly handsome one in the white shirt sitting at the left of the second photo.)
Always a pleasure to drink white wine in the sun with these fine people.
Now, I'm going to sit down with a cup of tea and do some writing. :)
