What a difference a day makes

24 little hours. They took their nap today. Thank goodness. Just when I think I have had it, things go and change on me. I swear life is just a series of tests to see how much you can handle before you explode or do something you shouldn't. Unfortunately, there are those out there that REALLY explode. Thank God I am not one of those. I have had such a great day. I got to hang out with the horses today in the warm sun. I got to lay on the couch and close my eyes for a few. Then this evening we got an unexpected surprise from our neighbors. Fred was giving the kids baths and I was straightening up the house and our door bell rang. I opened up the door to "We wish you a Merry Christmas" from our next door neighbors. I have never had carolers ever in my life and who would have thought that my first time would be in such an unfriendly town like this. It really made my night. Fred didn't have to work 12 hours tonight so the kids and I got to spend some extra time with him. It is really nice to have him around. I also had no pain in my ankles or back and that had been really bothering me for weeks and all of a sudden a couple of days ago the pain just went away. So far, this week is shaping up nicely. I can't wait to watch the kids open their presents Christmas morning and it is coming up fast. Now I am going to relax on the couch.
