It's inevitable. We can spend money and eat sugar cookies for only so long (usually until the money and the cookies run out.) I'm spending my 48-hours-post-Christmas doing laundry. A lot of it. You can read about that HERE, where I also share the real reason I love Christmas. I was in the MMW dugout this morning.
My other after-Christmas slump arrived in the form of a head cold. It's noon and I'm still in my PJs. I'm on my second box of Puffs, and I keep eating whole wheat rolls to absorb all the mucus I'm swallowing. That was probably too much information.
I'll end on a happy note, so you can scoot over to the MMW blog and see my stack of laundry. It's higher than my washer.
We had a wonderful Christmas day with most of our family here.
Every year, I think this might be the last Christmas with my parents, 93 and 90, so I'm adamant now about getting a family photo. We took several. Even the dogs were patient.
Hope your day is filled with something other than laundry.

Glad to hear your had a nice Christmas. I also love, love, love your post on MMW. So true. Have a good 2014!
Yikes! Your laundry pile looks like mine! Hope you're feeling better soon.
That is a wonderful family picture. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year.
Great family pic! I spent slump day ..working (from home) and doing laundry. I figured if my hubby had to go to work today, I might as well get started (or restarted), too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Why didn't I think about rolls?! :) It's a great picture. I'm glad you had a good Christmas!
Hope you feel better soon! Your family photo is precious. Happy New Year!
Hope you're feeling better! Happy New Year!
Hope you feel better, I am having a day when I feel so tired but I am going out to visit my nanna.
Laundry I just did a load and got it out on the line to dry now I am hoping it doesn't rain.
You have such a beautiful family! I hope that you feel better soon.
My dad is 93, too. But my mom is only 84. What a wonderful family Christmas pic! Glad it was a merry one. Happy New Year! :)
I had thirteen in my house for three nights so can relate to the laundry mountain. Good times with the family though! Happy New Year!
I hope you-all had a very Merry Christmas and will have a very happy, happy, happy New Year!
So good that you do take the family photos year to year. You are right, we never know how long our parents will be with us and I know you treasure every day that yours are able to celebrate Christmas together!
betty
Beautiful family photo. And I've been eating cookies for 30 days straight. Probably not a good idea.
I hope you're feeling better. Good for you for taking the time for all of the family pictures. They're so important.
