Tuesday, December 11th, 2007Yesterday was a crazy busy day. I had to rush and get our snow tires on our car, I just could imagine being stuck in the house all day and then strapping a baby to me as I walked the kindergartener through 2 foot drifts to school. Actually, the weather man said 3-6 inches by the time I woke up this morning, and wouldn’t you know it there is about 5 inches outside!
Other Opportunities
Friday, December 7th, 2007When I decided not to go back to work, which was a very hard decision, I had the talk with my husband about opportunities.

Not that I would remember, but I don’t think I got “short days”. I’ve also noticed that she has an insane amount of days off school for this and for that. Now with our educational system being attacked continuously about turning out kids who can’t read, or know the capitals to all 50 states (which I don’t by the way), or can’t pick out Iraq on a map, why are our kids going to school less?
Fast Weekend
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007That weekend sure flew by fast! I miss the days of lazy weekends, maybe watching a good movie with a bowl of popcorn…
This weekend we had a Christmas party to go to, then I did almost all of my Christmas shopping online, had to get laundry done for the family, clean, etc…
