I'm am grateful for quiet, the first moment of silence in days. The kids are asleep after a day of over-tired whining and screeching (90% from one child), Kevin is in the other room reading, and I am trying to decided about whether to begin opening the Christmas boxes or let them wait until tomorrow morning.
My mom didn't surprise us with a Pinterest-worthy craft this year, but she did make us all watch the Lady Gaga Thanksgiving special, which was just as surprising. A Very Gaga Thanksgiving made me want to gag-ah, but my mom is a big fan. Who knew?
