One of life's mysteries is why on earth I can hardly wait to put up our Christmas decorations and then I can hardly wait to take them down!
Tonight, when we started taking down the tree, I was amazed how quickly it was going. I even commented that taking the stuff down was going twice as fast as when we put it up.
Three hours later I wondered why I ever said such a thing.
I feel the need to rearrange my entire house when I tackle this project. Move stuff to the basement. Bring stuff up from the basement. Bring stuff down from the attic. Move stuff up to the attic. I drive myself insane!
But now that the boys are tucked in and there are a bunch of teenagers in the basement watching a movie and I am watching the most glorious beautiful snow fall, I feel a total sense of accomplishment.
I am sad as I always am, that this season is over. I think that is why I am always in such a toot to get the stuff out of the house. To just move on.
The one thing that has kept me going is the Wii. It brings back memories of a long time ago when Abby and I were addicted to Dr. Mario. Now it is Abe and I and we are competing at bowling. He beats me every single time just like Abby used to.
The more things change the more they stay the same!
