I Spent My Christmas Vacation Being a Sloth and Now I Have No Idea How to Function Again

I spent the past two weeks in a cocoon of blankets on my couch, staring bug-eyed at the television while I watched basically every bowl game ever. I am having trouble assimilating to normal society. Send help.

I already miss Christmas vacation... sort of... I'm conflicted about it.

On one hand, I could be a sloth who subsisted entirely on leftovers and the peppermint nougat candies from my kid's stocking. I could watch football ALL DAY. I slept in until 9 a.m. one day. I got to go to Hollywood 16 and see Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

On the other hand: deviation from our regular routine was causing all kinds of drama in my household. That's a fancy way of saying my kid was straight acting a fool for two weeks because she got to stay up late and skip nap time every day. IT WAS ROUGH, y'all. Telling her to put her toys away was cause for a Defcon 1 meltdown.

I'm looking forward to everything returning to normal. I also am a sucker for routine, and I feel like we'll all be our best selves after a week back at work/school...

But then again... I'm going to miss sleeping in, eating Christmas treats, and being holly and/or jolly 24/7. It's always such a bummer when the holidays are over!
