The day after my birthday is always somewhat of a let down for us because that's truly when the holiday season is over. With my birthday being so close to New Year's, it makes the holiday season last a few more days for us and so the day after my birthday is really when it feels like it's really done, so there is a little bit of a "oh, fine..it's over.." feeling. lol

This year I was relieved and a little bit excited about the holiday season ending. I made my list for things to do for today and I was really motivated to get stuff done today…to stay focused on my day and get a lot accomplished. The kids go back to school, I can get some quiet time to think without interruption, I'll work on my website, my ebook and a few other things…awesome, right?

Mother Nature has other plans, apparently.
My phone rings at 6am and it's my mom letting me know school is delayed for 90 minutes and there is no morning kindergarten. My day is completely thrown off now and my motivation just crashed. Completely crashed. Grrrr…..

But I am determined to still get a lot done and not let this ruin my day. LOL It's only a 90 minute delay, this should not ruin my entire day. I just hate when plans get messed up, but I am going to work around it and still get a lot done.
I can do this….right??  LOL

I also wanted to say good luck to J. She is going back to work today after being home with her new baby for 3 months. I know those first a couple of weeks adjusting to going back to work can be tough so everyone should wish her good luck and may the transition go smoothly for you and your family!

    Sending lots of hopeful thoughts J’s way!!!Joanna if I could be of some assistance.  Although your birthday is a way to end the holidays with a bang if you would like to continue the season a little bit longer here is an idea….January 6th is Epiphany.  That is the day the 3 wise men showed up to give presents to Jesus in the manger.  It is a big day for us.  It is also the day to ask God to bless your house and all those who enter and leave for the new year.  What a wonderful thing to do after the fun is done and over and things are getting back to normal.  I’m loving you!
