And we’re not even in the home stretch yet. This afternoon the little man is slated to have a visit with his bio-dad’s family. Afterwards we are tentatively scheduled to attend a Boxing Day dinner (depending on the status of my sister-in-law’s cold/flu bug). Tomorrow is another holiday party, the highlight of which will be reunions with old friends. Sunday we need to swing by my folks’ place, for the presents that were accidentally left behind on Christmas Eve. Monday we will be bowling with the husbands’ siblings at the BLB. Tuesday the husband and I each have doc appointments. Wednesday will mark New Year’s Eve (already?)…and we may actually be able to lie low for a bit. I, for one, am ready to heartily re-embrace our hermitude.
