Home School Life

We had a lovely New Year’s Day. It mostly involved lazing about, though we did have a short burst of productivity to take the Christmas tree down. Most years I can’t wait for things to get back to normal after the holidays. The Christmas tree comes down as quickly as humanly possible; I start doing laundry again; the new presents get put away. This year I’ve been trying to hold onto the specialness of the holiday season for a little bit longer, recognizing that the Holy Nights extend right up until the 6th.

But, this weekend the normalcy is upon us. School is looming just two days away. Laundry must be done; groceries must be bought; and last ditch efforts to finish holiday break reading assignments are in action. Still, there’s always time for a game of Chutes and Ladders on the couch with Leo.

It’s a grey day here (as usual), though it is oddly warm.  But despite the balmy temps and my “eat right” resolutions I feel oddly compelled to make this. Heavy cream be damned.

I’m back to the game. Hope I don’t break the cookie jar. Have a great new day.
