A Good Tired

I'm tired.  In a good way.  We had Hannah's eye appointment this morning and it took a lot longer than expected.  All she wanted was to walk out of there with contacts.  At least a pair to try.  Not so.  We didn't realize that it would be a session of appointments and that this was not the one she would be getting a trial pair.  That won't happen until next week and then we have to go back 3 more times to make sure that they are the ones that will work for her.  I understand all of it but it's frustrating for her when all she wants is to wear ski goggles without her glasses underneath, swim in a pool and be able to see the other side, go to school without her glasses for one day and read the board from her seat which happens to be in the back of the class.  One more thing. 
We went skiing after that appointment and it was just dumping out.  It has been snowing for days up here and we are not getting tired of it one bit.  We are going out to the ranch to work with the horses tomorrow and it's going to be brutal with the weather.  I wish we could make it out more but with work and school we aren't able to help out much in the winter.  I miss seeing those horses, sheep, llamas and the alpaca.  It's hard work but fun.  I'm glad we are squeezing in a day over our break, but tomorrow, I'm not wanting to travel out there in this weather.  That road is torturous. 
We got home from skiing today and I took a very short nap on the couch, got up and made dinner, made some cookies and the girls put together a gingerbread house.  Jack was even in the action and was preparing a salad for dinner so we were all in the kitchen.  Hannah loves, loves, loves when we are all together and she was just tickled pink about it.  We all were.  It was a great night.  Now, we are all whooped and Jack is in bed, Jordan is getting ready for bed, Hannah is falling asleep on the couch, watching a Hallmark Christmas movie, and I'm done.  it's been a pretty good break so far for everyone in our house.  Hopefully we can all keep our wits about us.  Christmas is here and before we know it we will be waking up to a new year. 
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......falling asleep.
