Back to the Grind




Sigh....the holidays are over, as is school vacation. Went by much too quickly...the kids had a fun Christmas but it is good to be back in our groove again. We purchased an artificial tree this year. It was surprisingly easy to set up and prelit so not having to deal with stringing lights was a plus. It should be an economical investment, since we typically spend over $ 100 per year on trees, and we got this tree for about $ 120. However packing the darn thing up and getting it back into the bag that came with it...what a pain! I keep threatening Dad that one year we'll go to Dubai or some country that doesn't celebrate Christmas so we can escape some of the holiday madness. I know...Momma Scrooge!
