I have a confession to make—I am at work. Writing a blog post. OOOPS.
The reason I do not feel bad for this is because I think this week I had to take a lot of steps toward being more adult-like …and being productive at work 100% of the time is just pushing me over the limit.
This week…
- We had Christmas (like a lot of the world)….
- ALONE! It was just Ryan and me and our television. We spent a lot of time relaxing in front of the TV. We watched Christmas movies, made Christmas dinner, and checked out some lights around town.
- We had to work….
- So long are the days of Christmas break and switching semesters. Both of us are now out of school for a very long time and that means we have more responsibility during the time we used to have NONE! Ryan was on call the whole weekend and holiday and had to go in for some time every day. I worked at my second job Christmas Eve and had to go right back to work on the 26th! There are 5 people in my whole office this week. It is utterly boring.
- I look pregnant now.
- My tummy started sticking out big time yesterday. I do not think it will go back to it’s old self any time soon! It is here to stay for at least the next…24 weeks!
Do you see how all these things could lead me to feel a little TOO grown up all at once!
On a better note, we had a GREAT holiday. We are so blessed to have family and friends who definitely did not forget us even though we are further than we ever have been away during the holidays. We even had tons of presents to open from our parents and other family. We got to Skype with my family during their holiday dinner—which made us feel much more at home.
I thought it would be a lot harder than it was to be away. We got to start a few of our own traditions around our new town and spent so much time together. Lately, we really crave time together and last weekend was just what we needed to feel a bit better about spending endless hours working and keeping up a house (ugh more adult talk!)
