Today I put our Christmas cards in the mailbox to be mailed. Yes, I realize it’s January but I figure it’s better late than never. Right? So our Christmas letter was brief and my list was short. Sorry for moving so much that no one can keep up with us. Now that I have that checked off my list it is time to get cleaning! If I don’t do it now, who knows the next time I’ll get a chance. So the Christmas decorations are boxed and put away. Oops! I missed the Santa on top of the refrigerator. I wonder what else I missed… Wrapping paper put away, tackled the big pile of laundry and finally washing all those sheets from our full house at Thanksgiving. Eeek!
I had an epiphany on New Year’s Eve. As we wondered the streets of downtown Raleigh for First Night, I realized I no longer have little ones. I know, I know, the kids have had birthdays and two are already out of the house but it wasn’t until we were walking in the crowded streets that it dawned on me. Moms always count heads especially with a crew our size. I kept feeling like I was miscounting. One, two, three, four, five, six, and my sister makes seven. Wait, who am I missing and I would count again. Then I realized, the heads I was counting were too tall! When did this happen? How did all my little babies get so big??? I was already a little remorseful that I will no longer have an elementary school student next year, but this was a shock. So my friends, if you feed your children they will grow. And even if you threaten to stop feeding them, they find food and you really could never stop feeding them anyway. Lol
