This time of year

Is NOT my favorite!  The letdown after the holidays, trying to regain some normalcy, the cold, long, dark days and nights which don't feel *as* cozy as they did the month before...  Ah. I could go on and on.

Add to this my son has just had all four molars break through, had the croup/cold, decided to stop sleeping his predictable way and times, and is now going through a mommy-love phase where he must be on me or right up against me.  Yeah.  I have made my peace (sort of) with no free-time at the moment hoping it is just a phase, but I have a HUGE project coming to completion next month and have serious reservations about getting it all done.  Nevermind the house and the homeschool reading I plan on doing, etc etc etc.  Plus I have a little PTSD remembering how Emily used to be! 

In all seriousness, Eric is immensely supportive and I am hanging on.  I am oh so very blessed to have good friends both near and far, who talk me down on a daily basis!  My kids and husband, although frustrating at times, bring me the greatest moments of peace and joy and I thank God every single day for allowing me to do this "job".  This too shall pass, this I know.  I just hope it is in time to get my work done in a timely manner!  :)

Oh, I am praying and reflecting on my watchword (one word focus) for 2013.  When I get another 2 seconds I will update you once it is revealed to my heart and mind.

Happy New Year!
