Holiday Cheer Meets Overwhelm

Today was supposed to be the relaxing day, the day the we stayed home to clean the house and wash the laundry. It hasn’t been what I had pictured and I am not even sure I understand all of the exhaustion and overwhelm I feel today. Perhaps it is a coming down of sorts; the getting to the holiday that so much time, preparation, and anticipation goes into. I don’t want to rush it, I want to enjoy it as it is. Tonight, I will let go if the idea that my house was going to be in tip top shape today and curl up with a blanket and some hot chocolate on my couch and watch a Christmas movie. Because sometimes the only way to slow down is to stop.
