Is this the new year, or just another night?

We spent New Year with some Asians who usually have a giant party with the entire city on their New Year's Eve. It wasn't very eventful for us, but we had some food and stayed up to midnight. we also played a couple of wacky games, compliments of me, by request of my sister-in-law. When was the last time you ate a peanut butter cracker off a piece of plexiglass?
That aside, there was this huge rush to get the house ready for our guests (who stayed all week) and the laundry and getting gifts wrapped and trying to make time for everyone who needed time with me. Which included my sister and my best friend and my own kids, and then all of the in-laws, and my brother and his wife and my other brother and his new girlfriend. It was just... a lot. It was good, but it was a lot. And I think I'm spending this week kind of recovering from all of it.
I turned 36 last Thursday. It was a very uneventful day. The relatives left, the kids went to class and I taught English Grammar in the afternoon. Then, home, tired, and surprised with a clean house, I just wanted to go to bed. So husband got home and made supper and I just slept for a while. Welcome to being old and boring! Aside from my 30th birthday, it might have been one of the lamest ones I've ever had. Although husband did get me a cool tin sign with the batmobile on it.
We went out the next night, since it fit our schedules better, but I failed at planning anything that well so we only had time to eat dinner before we went back to pick up the kids, and it wasn't even a fancy dinner. Fail again. I don't know. The expectations might be a little too high for my birthday, what with it being the day everyone has to go back to work after holiday. I am looking forward to an epic road trip with my best friend from kindergarten soon, though.
Anyway, all that to say, I guess I'm officially in a slump. Hopefully a hormone-fatigued-induced slump and not a winter-induced one. But maybe it's just everything.
My challenge for this year is to spend more time savoring God and just beholding who He is. We overthink Him sometimes, I think, and I've made stuff really complicated lately with studying the Bible and trying to figure out the best way to "connect" with him, and maybe I just need to sit and be, and breathe a little more than I have been.
