Four Wonderful Days

Wednesday, as I left work to go eat with Alan at his work Thanksgiving lunch, I couldn't have been happier! I might have even skipped to my car, and if I did, I would certainly admit to it! Nothing could have been better than the thought of spending the next 4 WHOLE DAYS with my husband and daughter!

Sunday night, as I was lying in bed, tears streamed down my face. I couldn't have been sadder. I am sure that I left mascara lines on my pillow (you got me... i didn't wash my face!). Nothing could have been sadder than the thought that Monday morning, I would be saying goodbye to my sweet baby, after 4 wonderful days!

Alan assured me that he would have to have me committed when Evie Grace started to kindergarten... there wouldn't be enough lexapro in the world to help me! Then he said that heaven forbid she went to another town for college! Oh dear me, what will I do with myself?!

::SIGH:: Anyway, I have some time to deal with those irrationalities! But for now, let's recap our FOUR WONDERFUL DAYS!

Thanksgiving with filled with food, food, and more food! Isn't it always?! We also went to Fantasy of Trees later that evening. Evie Grace LOVED the lights. She was the best baby ever all day, even though she barely had a nap.

Friday I actually ventured out. THAT is something I NEVER do! Being caught with all the crazies at the mall isn't at the top my to-do list. I actually wanted to leave around 7am; however, even though our Thanksgiving had been incredibly busy, my sweet baby still woke up a couple of times and wouldn't go back to sleep without eating. We ventured out about 10am, and I am happy to say that I still found great deals and got several presents bought! Whew! A head start, and that never happens!

Saturday was the best day ever! It was the stay-in-the-pajamas, no shower, brush-your-teeth-only-before-bed (you know you have days like that!) kind of a day! Alan and I decorated our little house for Christmas, and it looks lovely!  Evie Grace kept herself busy playing all day. She went from little station to station, just as content as could be! Loved it!

Sunday, we had church and then a dear friend's birthday lunch. Evie Grace got a nap late that afternoon, but I just laid on the couch. Two cups of coffee and a sweet tea will ruin any naptime plans!

It was a wonderful weekend, with busy times and restful times! I can't wait until my Christmas break when I get about 2 weeks of time with my little family. I just love it!

Thank you, LORD, for a great weekend!
