This scene sounds so familiar, including the locked door after hours of domesticity. My little ones called the snow “feathers” as they fluttered down past the window, where their dad was already putting up the Christmas tree. I thought, too, how this is just like a cozy Christmas story! Thanks for sharing your special moments!

Today I called in sick to recuperate from SuperGrammaHood, which I told my boss I was doing – no fake claims of contracting H1N1 or anything. I promised to do some work, too, just so I could collapse in the quietude of my cozy home that I’m trying so hard to transform in to a cottage-on-the-green. So, for the first time in weeks, I am perusing my favorite blog sites in between answering emails.

The day after I picked up my 18-month-old grandson from the hospital after he downed some of the “other” gramma’s anti-anxiety pills on HER watch, the snow flakes floated down. All 4 of the grandchildren – ages 18 months to 10 years – squealed when they saw the little bits of accumulation. And suddenly, all was right with the world again.

I go through the cycle between homemaking contentment and frazzles SAHM all the time. Sometimes I forget that the key to leveling out the cycle is that locked door alone time!

I think that’s my favourite Christmas carol.

Aaaah, sounds like perfection. Or as close as we’re ever going to get. Maybe someday that day will come for me. Or maybe I just need to start looking harder.

P.S. There WILL be school tomorrow!
