The Day After Christmas

The day after Christmas. Also known as Decompression Day. I finally got out of my pj's after I made the kids lunch. The house is littered with crumpled wrapping paper, boxes ripped in half, toys already forgotten, and tiny toy parts that may or may not be missed when vacuumed up. The candy gluttony is over. That's because they ate it all already. I have a feeling it might be wise to clean up a little. Before someone breaks a leg.

Outside, rain clouds are rolling in and swirling around. Rain will splash against the windows for a few minutes then quiet down again. The sky has finally covered itself with a cold, grey blanket, but this morning was full of great sunbeams piercing through the clouds and shimmering on the water.
