Pre - Christmas Fun!

Well, we went to mom and dad's this weekend to decorate for Christmas. It was a lot of fun and the tree looks great! Take special not of the excited expressions that mom and dad are sporting! They sure are happy it is Christmas!

No voice!!

Let me just say that I am so thankful that my voice has returned. After almost 2 days of hardly more than a squeak, I am finally able to talk again. For no reason, it just left me. It is kind of difficult to teach with no voice. I think it was my body's way of telling me it needed a break. Danny thought it was great! The house was quiet and he could go to sleep sooner because I couldn't talk. Very funny, dear!

Is it Friday yet?

It has just been one of those weeks. I have not had one single moment to myself or to relax in the last 7 or 8 days. Work has been crazy. Finally, I feel as though I can relax...and then my marking and the house cleaning that is over due come into mind. Sometimes it feels like I just can't get ahead. Anyway, through this busy time, I am thankful for small pick me ups like the lights on my Christmas Tree, a hug from my wonderful husband, a joke from a student, or a Christmas orange! Yeah, life is good despite the busy.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Well, the Christmas season has officially began in our home. We put up our Christmas tree yesterday (The picture kind of takes away from how nice it actually looks). It is a little different this year having a kitty. She has become quite fascinated with the balls on the tree. Let's just say she is getting quite a few showers! Our Christmas shopping is half done and we really feel like we will be prepared early this year. I am so excited about starting this Christmas season already. Ho Ho Ho!

I got this massive project car from my father in law as a wedding present. It was his first car which he sold and bought back 15 years later.
