First Day

I went to bed late last night, so my first day of "vacation" started late when I slept in.  Everyone was up before me.  I am usually the first one up!

I will take the grandchildren to church tomorrow.  The service is mostly music...parts of The Messiah, which is something I dearly love.  I'll just cry through all of it.  Have to take lots of tissues!

Meg is still out shopping.  I took care of the children tonight.  They were good--marathon DVDs, with popcorn, chocolate milk, and quiet times.  Ryan was totally ready for bed when I tucked him in.  His sister was, too.  She just takes longer to give up!

Talked to my sister tonight.  I will probably try to go to Illinois on the 26th for a couple of days.  We have to find if the other grandparents can pick the children up from day care while I am gone... 

As the year ends, I am feeling the tragedies and the blessings.  Sometimes, the tradedies ARE blessings!   We keep moving on!
