Today was full of events, big and small, good and bad. It was a full Sunday of everyday moments.

I snuggled my little guy as he woke up, at 5 am today, and somehow convinced him to come to the garage while I exercised. He was still tired I think, likely why it was successsful.

I finished my final edits ( ha! For now, anyway) on my second book. I’m not sure if it was the caffeine or the sheer relief, but I almost flew home, with little birdies in my chest.

When I arrived at the manor, my children were on tenterhooks while they danced excitedly around the tree that had just been placed in the living room.

We decorated and made foam decorations (on sale at Michaels!) and had hot chocolate and popcorn.

They became wound up when I produced the advent calendar, only 3 days late, then I fought with my two year old for the remainder of the day about not eating the rest of the chocolate.

I know it’s hard buddy, I know.

Supper, dishes, story and bed. My excitement had crashed, energy depleted. My two year old crashed too, head first into a wall while I watched. He says his nose hurts, and maybe slightly blue now.

Tomorrow is work and my day job, but my sense of accomplishment over this weekend will carry me through the week. Well, that, and coffee of course.
