December. December. December.
How did it become December so quickly?
The last time I checked, November was just beginning.
But here we are, the sixth already. The kids just have this week and next to finish up before the highlight of every school year (other than Spring Break and the Last Day, of course)... Christmas Vacation. All I can think is, How in the world am I going to entertain them for two solid weeks?
And at this they chuckle.
No need to entertain us, Mom.
Just keep the fridge stocked and the electricity on.
We've been enjoying some beautiful 70-ish degree weather around here. The windows have been opened, the short sleeves on, and the flip flops still getting plenty of use. My hometown back west got its first snow today. Do I miss it? Not a chance. Sweet tea and warm weather keeps me happy.
The Christmas decorating around our house has come to a blessed halt. The husband never did get that manger scene up or his personal message to the President made, and Santa Claus is still awaiting his stuffing, but other than that, all decorating came to a grinding halt last Friday for the birthday party of the oldest.
I have never been so glad to have people over.
One day of faster-than-lightning cleaning and hauling boxes to the attic.
Now that's how we get things wrapped up around this house.
I started my next-to-last class this week. Hallelujah. Come April 3, 2012, that nifty piece of paper with my name on it will be all mine. Thank goodness they don't hold 'em hostage until the student loans are paid. I may never get the chance to gaze upon it if that were the case. Oh... student loans.
I'll think about that tomorrow.
And enjoy my Christmas today.
Cold weather (that's 50s for me) is on the way.
