Well, it was quite a day. Today was all about drop-down, drag-out fighting between me and another Mom and snow removal. How those two things ended up in one day, I have no idea, but there's my day for you. Nobody went to the hospital, let's put it that way.
As I've stated previously, I am a Mama Bear, and I process things that upset me s-l-ooooowlyyyyy. So if you get in my face before all of the processing has taken place, all that raw stuff is going to come out, and it's a free-for-all. It wasn't pretty.
THANK GOD I am going to Charlotte tomorrow. I shoveled so much snow today that I did not consider working out to a DVD. I am, however, taking a number of them with me, so I have a lot to choose from. Eating was not as bad today, thankfully. I did not keep track again, but I figure with all of this stress and shoveling, I MUST be burning major calories!
The good news is, a few positive interactions happened between me and that other Mom afterwards, so I think if we agree to stay in our respective corners, all will be fine. I have been sporting a major headache ever since, however, which has made the rest of the day difficult to get through. I think we're about all packed up and the house is ready so we can come back to things in order, which is helpful when we return from vacation. Stephen is already down there, relaxing and sleeping well. My back hurts.
Thankfully, Nancy and her beau, Marc, helped me shovel my van out, which was so sweet of them, I really appreciated it. The kids helped some, probably not as much as they should have. My back is seriously hurting now.
I hope you are enjoying the snow WAY more than me and having less drama than me and that everybody is happy and healthy in your household. I think my motto for this holiday is, "Take care of yourself." Don't go overboard on alcohol, crappy food, or family therapy during Christmas dinner. Enjoy all you can, remember what's important, and try to make somebody else's Christmas better.
Tomorrow, I go from workout warrior to road warrior.
