school17777 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Just ran to the bathroom and am exhausted. Caught a glance at the clock and was shocked to learn it’s only 7:20! Still have, gratefully, a house full of guests! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I took a moment to look around my house. I've done two loads of dishes, and there are more. My living room looks like a tornado hit it. At this point, I don't even care. I was up so late last night and can't wait to go to bed in a bit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I know the feeling. We hosted this year for the first time in 5 (or is it 6?) years. Though I love hosting I had forgotten how much work it is. Everyone is gone, the kitchen is clean, dishwasher is running, and we're winding down. And I'm wiped out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I was looking at the clock around 8pm and longing for my bed. It's been a lovely couple of days with family in and out and Christmas today... but I am so tired and my feet hurt. Happy Christmas everyone. Christ is born! Glorify Him! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It's 3pm boxing day here now and I'm exhausted. We had people staying here from Christmas eve until midday today. Christmas night I was so tired, I put away the food related essentials and dropped into bed. Still have many dishes to do now, but it's hot and I'm tired! Lovely day, joy to the world! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I’m tired too and it’s morning! We still have a person here but we have to take her back home today. Then a new crew comes in tomorrow and Friday. I’m beginning to be all “family-times” out. We had Christmas going on since last Friday and I’m ready for my routine. Thankfully, next week is NOTHING! Just rest and fun that I plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I was in bad by 7:30pm yesterday and asleep by 8:pm. DH and I are both introverts and mid-afternoon I noticed that he had disappeared and I knew why so I didn't draw attention to it. DD left with my parents for some Grandparent time. I've never been so happy to have some alone time. DH will be home, but two introverts both needing alone time don't both each other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One sister in law commented “why don’t you ever play games with us?” TypicAlly games start at 7-7:30 after several hours of family time. I usually just vanish for awhile. I’m done interacting and need the break. Washing dishes can be a nice escape. I hid in my bedroom several times on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day because of the people. My oldest and youngest have the impulse to talk nonstop. It’s stream of consciousness for them and it sucks me dry!
