Day 73
By the time, Thanksgiving rolls around I am ready for a break. I really enjoy my week at Thanksgiving that I get to lounge around, eat good food and visit with family. That's about all I can handle though. By the end of the week, I am ready to go back to work and get back into my normal routine. I think I've said this before but I am a creature of habit and I don't like it when my schedule is disturbed for too long.
After Thanksgiving we have about three weeks at school before we get out for Christmas and by then I am ready for another vacation. We usually get about 2 1/2 weeks at Christmas and again after a week I really am ready to go back to work! Usually I go into work for an hour here and there just to feel sane but this year I couldn't really do that as much as I needed to. I was going crazy!
I've mentioned that our retreat was cancelled due to the cold weather. That was the day I was going back to work but the temperature was about 18 degrees when we got up that morning. We were supposed to go in the next day but two hours late. By the end of Monday, they announced that they were going to cancel school for Tuesday too! I wanted to cry! Tuesday morning it was 9 degrees when I went out to my car at 8am. I had to haul the kids with me to Birmingham to the knee doctor in the freezing cold but we made it and had a good day. Today we went in two hours late but we still went in. I was so relieved. I felt normal again especially since I could even use both legs! I love a holiday but I am thankful when they come to an end.
