Okay, deep breath. The gifts are opened, the cookies are gone, the batteries are placed in the noisy toys, the piles of laundry from new clothes are washed and put away....and you're exhausted.
This Make Monday is dedicated to you, mom.
"Make" your husband take the kids to an indoor (our outdoor if you live in a warmer climate) play area after dinner. Clean up dinner and start the washer for your bedsheets. Enjoy a glass of wine (or water, if you prefer) near the Christmas tree in a quiet house.
When the kids return, get them bathed and in bed. "Make" your husband make the bed with the clean sheets. Take your glass of wine (or water) into the bathtub and run a bath for (wait for it...) YOURSELF.
MAKE yourself take a long, relaxing bath. You've deserved it. Put on clean jammies and crawl into your clean sheets.
You've helped to make some wonderful memories this holiday season for everyone. Now, make time for you.
