I took off two weeks of work, which began on the 19th of December. Today is January 1st and I don't go back to work until the 4th. It is nearing an end, which I can hardly believe.
Levi was off too and we've had the BEST time gallivanting around, running errands, shopping, wrapping presents together, watching movies and just relaxing.
I don't remember the last time I got up for days on end with no plans made and just chilled, not having to worry about much.
Freedom.
It was so nice.
We did have all sorts of things in mind that we wanted to do, and we've done a lot of them.
We saw the new Chipmunks movie in theaters, had lunch with Gramie, got our Cinnabons on Christmas Eve at Potomac Mills, watched a few Christmas movies including "Christmas with the Kranks," "Kung Fu Panda Christmas," and "The Holiday." I got caught up on some of my O.C. episodes too, blogged a little, read a LOT, and just relaxed and drank more cups of coffee (and wine) than I count on my fingers.
Levi and I snuggled a lot and he drew lots of pictures for the fam. We also had some serious sword and pillow fights with each other and daddy too.
We had devotions too! And did I tell you on the 16th we prayed together to invite Jesus into his heart? :) <3 p="">
Right now, we are still sitting here at home enjoying the day at hand. He is watching the new "Minions" movie that he bought yesterday from Toys R Us with his own money and eating an eggo, per usual.
I really, really, REALLY, do not want to face Monday and going back to reality. It'll be ok a few hours in, but for right now, I'm dreading it BADLY.
Perhaps one day Isaac and I will get to a place where we own our own business and make our own hours.
That would be so nice.
Today my thought is to take the Christmas decorations down and get to the grocery store.
With the New Year starting and the sun actually halfway making an appearance today (we've had so much RAIN these past few weeks), it's got me phenin' for the warmer weather already. After New Year's, I'm done with the cold, LOL.
Levi also starts back to preschool on Monday, which is another reminder that it's only another half year left of school until until he'll be on the road to kindergarten in the fall.
Seriously....WHERE has time gone? I do NOT understand it.
He'll probably be going to Haydon for his first year, which is where I went to school. I'm sure a lot has changed there though. The circle of life, it's crazy... and it scares me sending my little guy off to foreign territory. Probably more ME than HIM.
The New Year also has me thinking a lot about careers, and long-term life decisions. Where we will be working in the coming months and years and if either Isaac or I will ever change jobs down the road.
What other changes will come, if any?
I'm always hopeful and inspired by the onset of a New Year and I hope there are some great ones in 2016 friends!!
Setting cookies and milk out for Santa on Christmas Eve!
