I missed blogging yesterday. I meant to blog but time got away from me. My brother and his four children (ages 8, 11, 14, and 16) are visiting. This means chaos. The poor cat had to recover from over affection from children.
They are a lot of fun but some how take a lot of time. Breakfast seemed to last for a few hours as people wandered through and ate and left, came back for seconds, etc. Very different from the quiet mornings with just the two of us.
After my nephew learned how to make lasagna yesterday morning, my sister came over and the volume increased. Then all of us went for a walk in the woods on very icy trails. I thought I would be fine but I was exhausted.
Eventually they all left and went to Boston. I was physically exhausted. My RA feet hurt. My fibromyalgia body hurt. I needed a pain pill and a nap.My husband and I took naps. The cat continued his nap.
Then we went to my parents for a late Christmas dinner. I lasted about another 3 hours before I had to come home and become horizontal and sleep. I lead such an exciting life.
Today, my husband went to work (traitor) and left me home to deal with all the chaos. I have to take the remaining car to the garage for the day so I will be carless. This might even force me to take it easier than yesterday. But I will be at the mercy of family members to retrieve the car at the end of the day.
I can tell you I am physically exhausted still. Crap. This is no fun. But I do get to see everyone.

Sounds like things have been lively at your house. I know what you mean about the exhaustion... Loving the chaos with my kids home for the holidays - exhaustion and all. Lasagna is our menu for tonight! And don't worry about missing a day of blogging here and there. I don't know how you manage to blog nearly every day anyway... now THAT's exhausting! Happy New Year! Rest up...
