I can't tell you how happy I am that the holidays are behind me; that I'm back to my normal routine. It sounds terrible, I know, and I don't mean to suggest that I didn't enjoy the Christmas break because I did--every moment. I loved being with W and the girls. I loved our leisurely drive up the coast to Mendicino and trudging through thigh-high snow drifts in Lake Tahoe. I didn't miss the early morning rush or the frantic race for the school bus or the afternoon carpool madness. It was great to get put all that aside.
