So, it's the day after Christmas and it looks like an elf threw up all over the place. There are dishes everywhere, empty bottles of deliciousness, toys, Legos, laundry...you get the idea....but I am content. I am content in knowing that we had the very best Christmas in our house. We go on Christmas Lock-down after Christmas Eve services. We spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, just the four of us, in our pajamas. Nobody leaves, nobody has anything to do except just being together. It's pretty amazeballs. So, today, as I sit and stare at all of the Christmas aftermath everywhere, I'm happy.
Oh, how I've missed blogging. Things have been pretty normal. I really haven't had anything that I felt compelled to blog about. Well, truth be told, working in a preschool gave me tons of material, but I'm not gonna throw a 3 year old under the bus for the sake of a laugh. That ain't right. And having my gallbladder removed wasn't all that fun, but I can totally sympathize with the men out there. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it feels like to be kicked in the nuts repeatedly. Just sayin'. Seriously, though, the whole working mom thing really cut into my creative writing time. Fear not, faithful ones! I'm no longer a working mom!!! No, I didn't get canned. The hubs has taken a job in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and we are moving to the great land of tornados friendly folks in a few weeks. What does this mean for me, you ask? (C'mon, you know you asked.) It means that I will no longer be working outside of the home and I get to return to my life of leisure. Bring on the bon bons and soap operas.
I'm actually quite excited about the move. I like the challenge of a new adventure. Oklahoma is basically a different country. Will I know the language? How will I communicate? Is there a Rosetta Stone program for me?
But one challenge I am NOT looking forward to is this....
Apparently they don't sell wine in the grocery store. WHAT?!?!? How else do I figure that in as part of my monthly grocery store budget?
I'm looking forward to a few things on the 2015 calendar already. I've registered for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon on April 27. Who knows what I'll see during my training! I'm anxious to get back to it. I've developed running withdrawal. Stay tuned, boys and girls. I'm baaaaaaack.
