Cabin Fever!

I'm not exactly sure what is lingering in the house but everyone is grumpy. Could it be cabin fever? As a family we have had a lot to adjust to since we moved. Daddy is home almost all the time. He is hard on the kids way more than I am. It's probably good but it stresses them out. It stresses me out. When did I become such a softie? My oldest seems to be suffering from puberty. AGH! The weather is not nearly as bad as I expected, which is fantastic. However, it is pretty darn rainy in comparison to SD. That may be a factor in everybody's mood. Grey weather and grey moods. There is a lack of Christmas activity and spirit around here too. I have went over the top in decorating. The kids and I have made numerous holiday crafts. I think we are missing our family and friends. The holidays in SD, were usually stressful, faced paced, and over-filled. I wanted a slower pace.  At the same time, I miss all the activity. It goes to show....wanting to be a certain way and actually being it, are two very different things. It is just going to take time. I think this family needs to get outta the house together. It's time to find some holiday cheer. We did get invited to make Christmas cookies with the family we had pizza with last week. That and a visit to Santa is a good place to start.
