In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Christmas is Over

Filed under: General — Rachel at 1:40 pm on Tuesday, December 26, 2006

Well, life has definitely been a lot slower for me the past two days. I was supposed to go to my grandmother’s for Christmas dinner yesterday, but Kyra woke up throwing up. So, my mom came by and got Elijah, and she took him with her. Chris had to work yesterday, so it was just me, Kyra, and Owen at home. It didn’t even feel like Christmas. Mom brought us a plate home from the dinner, though, so at least we got to eat some Christmas dinner. I spent the day playing with Kyra, taking toys out of packaging, and trying to clean up a little. I didn’t get much done by way of cleaning up, but I played with Kyra more yesterday than I have in the last three months. I mean one-on-one playing. We played multiple games of Pretty, Pretty Princess and The Little Engine That Could Games. We played with her new Barbie laptop, and her Princess Leap Pad Book. We played with her Barbie Fashion Plates, and put stickers in her Princess Sticker Book that her pen pal, Lindsey, sent her. I know she had fun.
Today, I have cleaning and studying on the agenda. I really need to get the mess under control and the laundry caught up, and I need to get some math review done. My test is on the 2nd, so it’s coming up quickly.
So, today is day two of taking a shower and putting pajamas right back on. Ya know what? It feels good. Ahhh. Life in the slow lane.
