On My Kids' Christmas Break

On My KIDS' Christmas Break

"For one thing, I had to worry more about what my kids were going to eat all day. I had to cook more and wash MORE dishes because they were around more. I'm not the kind of person that likes housework. I'd rather be outside all day long or reading a good book when I'm not at work. Maybe on their next school break they will be more helpful. On my week off I went to Bethel to RELAX!! Thank GOD! It was SO good to get away from my family and my stressful job for a while.

We had Christmas dinner at my mother's place. Almost the whole family was there. We had lots of good food to eat that day. My kids' Christmas break was just like any other day for me because I went to work during the weekdays and then came home and went to work again. And, of course, I went to BINGO in the evenings. That's where most adults go to socialize."
