OK. So I had a meltdown after writing my post on Monday morning, took off the post, REPENTED, put the post back up. I'm so embarrassed to confess that I yelled at my husband while he was sick. Terrible! I'm mostly embarrassed, though, because I see from the fact that there were no comments that no one else behaves badly over Christmas. :)
This morning, God is giving me a little treat. It's quiet here at home. I'm sitting by my tree.... The presents are all wrapped (sorry folks, no pretty bows this year...too much stress)....
I've had coffee in my beautiful, HUGE new coffee mug (Thank you, Brian and Denise!)...
I'm munching on some delicious band fruit...
I have some writing to do, and my sweet, little dog, Hilde, will inevitably come and snuggle up.
Life certainly isn't perfect at the Carroll house (ie. yelling at your husband when he's sick!), but it's good. I hope you're enjoying some peace today, too.

Don't feel solitary in bad behavior at Christmas time. Truth be told, I think many of us are equally as guilty.
I know I am but I am trying extra hard to have the "love of Jesus down in my heart." Unfortunately, that doesn't always mean I automatically succeed.
Hugs to you,

It does look peaceful at your house :-)
Amy I came over to visit and saw you had posted a picture of your precious puppy - adorable. I put my dog up on my blog today too! Your tree is beautiful- still don't have mine up! It may not happen either...
Amy,
I loved this post. But what really stole my heart was Hilde!!! I love doggies! She is just precious! I want to snuggle with her.
Merry Christmas my friend!

Girl you are too funny! I too have my meltdown moments-yeah I am being real here. Love the look of all those things in your home. Beautiful.
Merry Christmas!
Much love,
Angela
I tried to post, but my computer was acting goofy that day. I have had an unreasonable share of meltdowns...you are not alone. A dear friend of mine shared her meltdown with me the other day as well. I appreciate your honesty and humility. God bless!
OH girlfriend you are SO not alone...I just commented on that post...I am just a little tardy in getting to ready it!!!
Amy - You're NOT alone in that department ....by a long shot! My craziness has yet to truly slow down & I finally relented & put up a tree Sunday afternoon AFTER 2 kids programs at church, buying & wrapping gifts for 7 angel kids, attempting to fix 3 photography orders I'd messed up, and trying to clean a house that hasn't really seen a mop in several weeks!
Needless to say, my nerves were shot & I wound up speaking at a much higher level than I needed to. My poor little 8 year old got the brunt of it & I felt awful!
Today I am up early, reading, sitting, and contemplating ways to BE and dwell in those moments of joy as they come.
Enjoy your moments, your boys, and may God's peace fill your home year round!!
