Wow! It seems like ever since the Thanksgiving holidays ended we have been in turbo holiday mode around our house! We have had so much happening and I have had so many things to keep up with that, now that my Christmas break from work is here, my head is still sort of spinning! I also feel as if I haven’t been giving enough personal attention to this blog. This is the one outlet I really enjoy about my “me time”, but there has been so little of that lately.
E.B. has participated in two Christmas programs (at school and church) and he did wonderfully! He really enjoyed playing a shepherd in the church program, although he complained about his “itchy costume”. He also got to go have Breakfast with Santa at another school here in town (my best friend works there) AND….my baby is starting to READ!! I am sooo thrilled and can’t get enough of hearing him read simple, short stories to me.
Work has been going really well for me and I am still in love with my little library! We’re gearing up for the Reading Fair after the holidays and I was named Teacher of the Month for December! It made me feel so good to know that what I do matters. It was a great confidence boost since I had been out of the classroom for a few years. Our Christmas break started Friday afternoon and it has felt great sleeping in a little longer each morning!
My husband is doing fine, although he is fighting off a nasty sinus infection. He’s been on the road, so we can’t wait to have him home in a few days!
The cats…..Clyde is super. Pearl is super. But poor LJ suffered an injury that dislocated his paw from his leg. Since he would have to be knocked out to repair the injury, we also decided this would be a good time to have him neutered. He should be coming home from the vet tomorrow and I’m pretty sure he won’t be too happy with “Mama” for a little bit, but we hope he will be feeling like his old self soon.
And….there is still much shopping, baking, and wrapping to be done, but I work best under pressure. I hope.
So that’s our little update! I’m looking forward to 2 weeks of uninterrupted family and blogging time. I’ve missed my little corner of the cyberworld!
