The Fall-Out

Christmas came and went...again. And I survived, again...LOL. My Christmas was very different this year than in years passed. I cooked a meal for my boyfriend's family, and met them for the the first time all in one day! It was kinda nerve-wracking at first, but it turned out fine. The whole weekend was a blur, really. So much to do, and no time to do it. But (hooray!) things are calmer at work, and we are gonna try to get outta here early this afternoon. The chaos surrounding the holidays this year has been staggering. I keep thinking that things will simplify the older I get, but it just gets crazier.
Got to see all my family...Daddy, Bob, Yvonne, Mitchell, Tammy, Randall, Chris, Aaron, Mamaw Mable. Henrietta is in Alabama seeing her girls and will be home later. My family is shrinking... I remember the days when chaos reigned. Kids running everywhere (12 in all, counting all cousins), presents stacked to the ceiling, Momma, Nanie and Mamaw cooking frantically to feed everyone. Now, it is so strange to step into the shoes my parents left behind.
