Today was a pretty busy day. Work has been crazy, and we had our Holiday Potluck - of course I ate WAY too much (cannot wait until the 1st when I can refocus and re-motivate myself!). I ended up leaving a bit early to run a couple errands. I needed to stop at Walmart to print some pictures and pick up a few things, and then I wanted to stop at the Post Office to mail a package to a friend. Of course, it took me WAY longer at Walmart than I anticipated, so the Post Office will have to wait. By the time I finished at Walmart and got the package ready to go, it was time to pick up the girls. So, off I went!
I did have a difficult day though. The Sandy Hook shooting is still stuck in my mind. I try not to let things get to me, and I definitely try not to live in fear of any kind. But, this has really got me shaken up. It's been nerve-racking leaving the girls at school this week. I mean...it's a secure building. You need a code to get in the door, and there's only one entrance to the building. BUT, that didn't stop this guy, and that is stuck in my head. I'm just hoping that this feeling passes soon...because I don't like it, and it's not me. Until then, they will just continue to get longer-than-usual, uncomfortable, embarrassing hugs and big huge kisses at drop off and pick up, in front of all their friends!
Once we made our way home, we just had another standard evening. The girls did find that Buddy had used his little elf magic to turn out milk green, and whip up some Santa Claus cupcakes. YUM!
