Well, apparently, my post just after Thanksgiving was appropriate because I hardly had time to even open my computer except to check e-mails and order things on Amazon. I wish I could bottle that excitement that happens in the kids during Christmas and keep it around all of the time or maybe we could harness it and cure the energy crisis. Whatever stress the holidays put on us I can see the pay-off in their little eyes. However, my hurry and scurry must not have gone unnoticed by everyone in the house.
On Christmas Eve I was barking orders and had the kids running around picking up their things. Rainey came in with one of her envelopes and it was sealed. She said that it was for me. So I sat down and opened it expecting to find something that she colored.
It was a $5 bill.
She looked at me and said, "It's from my piggy bank, I just want you to be happy."
Oh dagger to my heart. Well, I realized every little thing didn't have to be perfect and I needed to relax and enjoy Christmas...and just be happy.
