Not sure if it is Christmas come-down kicked in already, a less severe bout of what laid Ady low yesterday (he’s much better today if a little delicate) or just a case of too much sleep but I’m sat on the sofa in pjs, listening to my new Will Young cd, looking at everyone’s flickr snaps (come on those who have not yet done so!) and feeling quite sorry for myself.
I went to bed at an unprecedented 8pm last night, fell asleep instantly and stayed that way until Ady woke me at 7.30, he’d been up since about 5.30 with Tarly so he crawled back into bed until about 11, most sleep we’ve had in years! 🙂
Me and the children further investigated their presents including playdough, paints decorate your own money box kits. I then had a bath enjoying the peace and reading my Heat magazine with relish! 😉 Then we headed over to my parents.
I was not really in the mood for it, the children were fairly unruly and really just wanted to come home and play with their new toys, Ady sat and watched football with Dad and Frazer, Mum was huffily doing something to the turkey remains so I sat there bored and cold (my parents house is freezing) so we came home again around 3pm. The children have played more with playdough and we’ve sat chatting and speculating on what other people’s Christmasses would have been like and maybe wishing we’d been there!
We’re both planning some big hopes and dreams for what next year might bring – change being the key feature of all of them I think. 🙂
Have had a touch of the blues here too over the days of Xmas. Lots of nice times but definitely some feelings similar to what you describe. And not coincidentally, changes need to be made here too, some just on my part and some we need to come together for, which will take longer. I suppose it’s the time of year for it, but it’s not just that. Anyway, hope rest of the week is fun/relaxing/cosy for you. Am going to chill and watch comedy now as we’ve had J’s mum today and that requires serious recover procedures for me.
Mind you, we’re not well and you probably aren’t either, so that might account for more of the downer than I’m thinking.
You wouldn’t want to have been here!
