Day 351

So days 353 and 352 eluded me with Christmas coming to town. Was a hectic 2 days, but was so worth it. Lil man had a fantastic couple days, and I revelled in watching him in his innocent happiness. Santa even came to see hubby and I, and brought us an espresso machine! (Thank god for grandparents!) Though I feel like I've done nothing but eat for the past two days, today I look forward to a day of relaxation, and an empty house except for my two boys. Time has been a tornado in my house the last few days, so I'm thinking today that she'll get some rest. My cup of hope is still filling as I'm trying to be patience's friend while waiting on the call from my new job telling me that I'm OK to start on the 4th. Realistically, I'm not holding my breath because if I were on break I wouldn't be working at all. Right now rent is going to be paid, and as long as I start and get paid before the car payment is due, I should be all right.

So patience and I hold hands, and hope winks at me from the coffee table. Looking at my two boys smiling and playing, anxiety finds herself in an awkward place and decides to leave. An old friend, contentment fills the air in this house today. We'll see what adventures tomorrow brings......
