Mixed bag today....all day of nothing but decluttering and organizing. I put a couple months of checking into Quicken so I am up to November. I love being ready by tax time... Did a couple loads of laundry and filed a bunch of papers, kids' school work in their 'keepsafe' boxes. Caught up on my DVR and watched Couple's Retreat.
I was doing ok till it was bedtime. The kids called at 8:45 to say goodnight and they were so excited! I was happy but I was sad bc I wasn't there... I am going over at seven with monkey bread so we can do our Christmas morning and open presents.
I was leaving for church and Dan texted me two pictures of the kids in their Christmas jammies, one clutching their empty stockings in anticipation and one standing in front of their Christmas tree. It made me smile and cry at the same time.
Then I went to church and I was emotional because I was the only person sitting in my pew. So many families there, and then there was me. But hey our Pastor is only 28, he has no kids or wife and his family lives hours away. So if he can handle it, so can I!
Oh and HG texted me too as I was leaving for church. Wanted to know how my day was going and when I got my kids back. It was nice to hear from him.
