What I'm doing

We:

-Married off our daughter in September.
-Are doing online public school for my last kid in school, his senior year. Kid goes to Air force boot camp in the spring.
-Recently fixed a problem that's been keeping me up for a long time. Sleeping deeply every night is amazing!
-Husband got promoted, adjusting to new responsibilities
-joined church decorating committee, because someone needed to step up, and I was someone. I'm now unexpectedly social...and busier. Undoubtedly, it's good for me.

Any of these things would be enough to slow the writing, and all of them together is definitely doing it. I've decided it's just that season of life, try to enjoy it.

Today, I'm going to clean my house, pack the Pintrest worthy willow screens I made (ow, drilling through wood is heavy work. Good thing my husband helped). We're having dinner with friends tonight, going to transform hedge clippings into holiday centerpieces for 100 people. Good times.

My health is great, no trouble with rainy day sinus headaches, so I have hope for spring. Maybe smoke/allergy season will be kinder, too.

Thanks to the wedding, I've discovered an unexpected talent for decorating. Combined with like-minded women of artistic ability and thrifty creativity, our poor church is developing a personality. Our husbands may not like being drafted for the sawing and cutting, but they seem resigned... John even enjoyed parts of it. Doing projects together can be fun.

May your holidays be as cozy and fun,
