So how are you?
My word for 2019 so far is tired. The holidays were great and Christmas was lovely and now I want to put my feet up and have a cup of coffee and catch my breath.
My mom and my two brothers and their families came for New Year's Day. We had approximately 24 hours that we all overlapped to be with each other and it was lovely. We also met all the Esau's in Kindersley at a Canalta for one day and one night. That was wonderful. The hotel was almost empty except for our family. We rented a conference room and used the pool and partook of a lovely breakfast. I'd recommend it to anyone! We also spent one day and night at Pat's folks with Jeff's and enjoyed that too.
And in the midst of it all we pulled off a classroom reno at school. We deemed that the ox had fallen in the well the last Sunday of December and Rennies family and our family spent a couple hours cleaning at school while my mother took care of Wade and Wyatt. That way we could have our hours with our brothers guilt free while the others primed and painted the place. It felt monumental at the moment but I'm sure in a year we'll all be like, ya, that's what we did that Christmas. I also cooked one last day at the Villa and we are officially off that board. HUGE cheers and fist bumps and wait. We do love those people. And you know. It's just good to pass the mantle on.
Yesterday was our last school holiday. My mom flew out at 7am. So her and I made the early morning trip to the airport together and I went home and slept another hour. Then I cleaned up approximately ten things, shoved a load of laundry in the dryer and another one in the washer and headed straight back into town with Colby and he got his drivers license. Last night was one of the first evenings we were home by ourselves over the holidays and it was wonderful.
I have no New Year's Resolutions. I have no New Year's word. But I do think I'll get up now and go have a shower. Maybe comb my hair.
