Back to normal...

The tree is down...the decorations are put away...the kids are off to school...things are at last back to normal.

We had a wonderful holiday season, and we loved every minute of it...but there is something to be said for the normalcy of everyday life. Regular routines, familiar rituals, and mundane day to day activities. It's sort of comforting.

Aaron and I sat on the couch last night after all the kids were tucked in their beds and breathed a sigh of relief as we looked around the room, which admittedly now seems really bare. A new year, a fresh slate...we vowed to try and make it the best one yet.

New Year Resolutions?.... I have made a few. The old standards along with a couple of new ones. My word for the year.... Motivation. I have no trouble getting motivated...it's staying motivated that is my problem. I will work to remedy that this year.

2009...... can't wait to see what it will bring.
