The after Christmas crash and a sigh of relief. We gather for Christmas present opening frenzy at both Grandparenst and the presents just overflow and overwhelm. Today my house looks like a tornado hit with wrapping paper, bags, totes, boxes, and random presents scattered throughout. All this stuff, where will we put it all? I have been trying to declutter my home and get ride of "stuff", just in time to add more "stuff". Christmas has become such an overwhelming time of the year, it takes so much away from what we are really celebrating. It is hard to worship, praise, celebrate, and be in awe of our Lord and Savior's special day. Luke woke up hot with fever and sore throat. Jayden had her cousin/friend Jaynie spend the night and was planning on riding horses. My friend Jessica Cross texted that she would like to meet for lunch. I looked at Luke, I looked at the disaster of my house and literally could not walk from the front door to the back door the floor was buried. I thought I would tell her I could not. Jayden told me I had to go, I needed to go. She told me she would care for Luke, that she would make lunch, that she would handle things. She is amazing and I am truly blessed beyond measure. I threw on some cute clothes even though I needed a shower, and went. I met Jess and had lunch at Hickory Park and talked for 2 hours. We figured it had been a year and a half since we saw each other last. Usually she is at the 4th of July, or Christmas Eve at church, or we get together in the spring. Not this year, so it was great to have lunch together. She has been a friend since childhood and I was so glad to have that time together.
