Holiday Exhaustion

I love the holidays. It's my favorite time of year. All of the cooking and visiting with family and friends. What I don't love is my holiday hangover! I'm so tired from all of the shopping, planning, entertaining, and multiple Christmas celebrations. The holidays can be very tricky with two different baby mamas and trying to make sure the grandparents get to see the kids and the kids get to see the kids. Each year is a different load of excuses and reasons that it has to be difficult. Last minute planning - It's hard to keep tract of who will be where and when. That being said - we somehow manage to make it work. We have had a wonderful few weeks and I have finally gotten to the point in my life that I expect the mama drama so it's not as devestating as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, I still get pissed ....... it just seems to go away more quickly now. I try to focus on what is important and that is making sure this kids don't feel the stress and that they have the best holiday they can. The kids are now 10 and 16 so this is not thier first Rodeo. I think they are just used to the way it is and deal amazingly well.
It's been months since my first post and my New Years Resolution is to blog on a regular basis. It's almost like therapy! Forgive my venting........ I promise they will not all be like this!!
