I wonder if it is just going to keep getting harder to keep up! Thanks to Christopher, my nine year old, I finally got the presents wrapped at 4 a.m. Christmas Eve morning. He couldn't sleep and I sleep on screen saver mode so if I am even slightly disturbed, I am wide awake. His cousins were over so they woke up at 5 a.m. and we played board games. I guess you fit it in when you can!
Of course, then I got to keep going strong until 11:30 p.m. until Santa arrived! Oh the joys! I really am beginning to wonder if you just get to a point that you have gone without sleep for so long that you just don't need it anymore.
No the truth is I will crash for a whole week in mid-January and wonder what is wrong with me!
Life is good though, I wouldn't want to be sleeping through any of this excitement. I realized the other day that the thought of all my children being in school someday is not as sweet as it seems, because it means that the days of cute baby sighs and squeals and toddler hugs will be all gone FOREVER! Just writing that makes me cry! I guess I like this Mom thing more than I admit sometimes!
So my Christmas wish is to be able to live in this moment and love it! May we all enjoy our families for this very short time because, before we know it, it will all be over.
