Welcome, Vacation!

Christmas vacation has arrived in a timely manner to my delight and need! Two whole weeks off.     No kids, no clocking in or out, no crazy parents. I already miss it!
How lovely this first Saturday of sleeping in, breakfast with a good friend and time to blog and read and journal and organize my pictures and thoughts and plans.

1. I am officially one of those people who only know how to use 10% of their Mac's capacity.
2. I miss my babies a ton already
3. Now more than ever in my whole entire life I am longing for and praying for the return of Christ

I don't have elaborate plans over vacation. 

I desire to read a book and think real-life, deep and productive thoughts.

I want to have a refreshed mindset to return to work with..ideas, projects, decorations and all.

I want to take time to bless the people who bless and care for me all year long, as well as those who cross my path as I am able.

I want to work out and take my time doing it.

I want to curl up under fuzzy blankets and watch Christmas movies and Lord of the Rings.

I want to serve my church body and my family.

I want to be all in, in areas where I haven't been able to because of my work hours.

I want to see christmas lights and enjoy the last few days of Christmas songs for another year.

I want to clean my car out and my room and my crafting corner.

But for today, it seems I can only miss the little ones that I spend each and every day with, dancing and singing, cuddling, crafting, cleaning up after, disciplining and developing. 

I never ever ever imagined this my lot in life and still, I am so pleased and so so thankful.

Here's to two weeks of free time... what's that?
