The holiday travel and the stress that comes with it are here for me. We were just in Des Moines for Thanksgiving. Went back there again today for an extended family Xmas. Going to Clear Lake next weekend (not Xmas related) and then there is talk of going to Des Moines again the weekend after Xmas. Nothing New Years weekend (yet) and then off to KC on January 10th.
Stacey and her family always travelled on Xmas day and around it. My family rarely did. We'd make a trip to IL the weekend before Xmas, but Xmas day and the days off surrounding it were always spent at home and at Grandpa and Grandma Thompson's house 3 miles away. 10 years later, we're still at odds.
Holidays are supposed to be relaxing. What's wrong with spending 4 days in your pajamas? Hey Mara and Ellen, how do you like your new toy? Great, put it away or throw it in the van, we gotta hit the road. Again. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing everyone, I'm just tired of spending my coveted days off in our van.
Luckily, in January we'll get to meet my new niece. My sister Sara and her husband Bruce (see Bag and Bruce Blog to the right) have a new addition to their family. More on that when I get photos and such.
