Christmas is over and the tree is undecorated, (but still up); the Christmas dishes are all put away; the Christmas linens are all washed and put away;and the first Christmas toy is broken!
Christmas is officially over!
On to the new year!
I was a little miffed at my daughter in law. Her office decided to go on a cruise and they did not use me as the
travel agent. It fell through, because they couldn't decide on a date. Then yesterday at 4 I get am email asking me to price out a cruise for 12 people leaving on Monday!
After three hours I discovered there was no way it was going to happen. New Years Eve is a very popular time to cruise! I tried talking them into waiting a week...there were a lot of deals for a week later...we will see how that goes.
I was looking forward to the time after the holidays so I could rest up a bit... and then I looked at my schedule for January. Busier than ever! Main Street Boutiques has a launch the first week in February and I have four customer orders to get out in January. I have two baby quilts that need to get finished up so we can get to decorating the room; I am making all daughters and daughter in law a family tree quilt next year for Christmas. In order to get them done I have to get started on them NOW!
Plus I have 2 Disney trips of my own to sew for! A total of 16 days this time...so that should keep me pretty busy with just the planning portion.
Oh yeah...I also have my first bout with bronchitis going on right now. This is the earliest I have ever had my first of the season attack. My doctor doesn't think it is any earlier than normal, I just recognized my symptoms earlier and she knew what to look for. I've been pretty lucky. No really feeling bad, not really sick. No fever. Just lots of coughing and sharp stabby pains when I breathe in really strong. The Z pack is helping...but I still have the cough. And I am extremely tired! (which could be from being sick...or from trying to do too much after we got home from Disney!)
Thanks for all the good wishes for Christmas. We actually had a pretty quiet one. We went over to my sons house for Christmas Eve and then came home late....then back up at 5 for 'Santa' so hubby could get to work. Had Christmas dinner at our house with my son and his family (lasted late until the night)
As usual the kids got a small Christmas, but got everything they wanted. And as usual, The Grand Princess got enough junk to start her own toy store... if she were not my grand daughter I would say she is spoiled! She expects toys... my kids hope for toys. At least she is learning the joy of giving!
Got to go...heavy work day ahead...I still haven't managed to get my studio clean...
