Peace

Our Christmas break ended up being quite lovely. The stomach bug made its visit short and sweet and myself and two of my daughters were spared completely. I know it may seem odd to some, I totally love having my family at home. Hubby gets more paid days off during the holidays than any other time of year. The big kids were home for almost 2 weeks. We didn't have any big plans. Mostly we just stayed at home, baked, played games and watched movies. I love those days. There is such a sense of peace when my whole family is at home. It isn't perfect. My kids still fight with each other every once in a while. Hubby and I still get in disagreements. But it feels so much nicer, more complete, when everyone is home. Now hubby and the big kids are gone all day and I miss them.
