The Day after Boxing Day
Boxing Day is the day after Christmas when all the workers who service your home pop around to visit with their box. You the householder, hand out tips of gratitude to the butcher, the baker, the milkman, the postman and any other men who provide a service! Or at least that’s the traditional, old fashioned tradition.
We, all modern American’s, are heading back home for the “wedding.”
So whilst we’re away, here are a few posts, some of the more popular or older posts that you may have missed.
This time of year when families gather, old memories come back as reminders, whether they are welcome or not. They are useful reminders that whatever you think is adrift in your current life, there is no way to accurately “predict the future.”
Parents all over the world, endeavour to do the best for their children but sometimes we have to admit to ourselves that we’re all just “muddling through.”
During any holiday, parents can bump into the unexpected, little hurdles that we aim to clear but often “trip us up.”
Some parents have a partner to assist them in the task of raising children, others are less fortunate. Others still, fail to appreciate the “input of the other parent.”
Multitasking is the name of the game if you happen to be a parent. Whilst you never imagined that you would become a juggler in your old age, if you hope to survive you need to dig up those “hidden talents.”
Modern life means we have it easy as appliances, make domestic existence “so much more flexible.”
Since the holiday season is over, I can return to my “grumpy old self.”
They say that travel broadens the mind, but all too often it leads you down a “blind alley.”
A speech impairment or delay can be a curious thing. Sometimes you may feel that you are “wading through treacle.”
We are all too free with our opinions, but sometimes we may inadvertently reach the “wrong conclusion.”
Some of us are slopping in our definitions, but other people require “more precision.”
See you later alligators.
Stumble it!

While I don’t envy you the travel with all those logistics to tend to, I do envy you the travel in general. I can’t wait to read the resultant posts.
Until then, I’ll have to amuse myself with these old (wonderful)chestnuts!
December 29th, 2007 at 2:33 am
Hmm I just got back from my travels to find you gone. Hope you get through the various travelling and clothing logistics to be faced, and have a super time at the wedding. And hope that Christmas was happy too!
Cheers, Caroline x

I failed to wish Mike Tyson a Happy Boxing Day, so I hope he doesn’t show up to gnaw off an ear. I’ve grown attached to my ears and vice versa.
December 30th, 2007 at 10:01 pm

Maddy, hope you get this comment as I’m awfully late, haven’t been blogging for a week or so. Amy has been such hard work over the holidays and I’m at my wits end! Just wondered how your two have gone on. Is it routine perhaps or just the over awe at presents and being totally spoilt? A difficult time for us I’m afraid but hopefully normal service will resume, once school opens!
Best wishes and a very Happy New Year to you and your family.

Hope you had a great holiday.
I’m a bit saddened to hear that “boxing day” has nothing to do with gloves and trying to beat the other person senseless. I guess it’s the Aspergian in me taking it “Boxing” literally all these years… live and learn and then learn some more.
