WOW! We still have another whole week off!! Oh what joy......I'm bored stiff!! Plus, John and JEB keep re-getting whatever this stomach virus is that is going around and around and around!! I'm quite tired of it! John will be feeling YUCK!, then the next day better and the next day JEB will have it! We still haven't had Christmas with PaPa and Grandma Sue and Auntie Debra yet!!
Hopefully, we'll feel better this week. I want to finally make it to see Grandpa and go visit my sister and her kids. I've read two books this week and started my third one today....only one more to go! Plus, I really want to scrap.....maybe this week.
JEB is driving us nuts......he's so ready for school to start back. He loves school.....all the kids around and the structure of it all. We probably should have bitten the bullet and just paid for him to be in daycare all week. Oh well......the lonliness of being an only child!
I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday time, even if you have to work thru some of it. Can't believe how fast this year has gone......its almost over. Hopefully this new year will bring new and exciting things to your life! I'm expecting God to do great things for us this year.........
Love to everyone and Happy New Year!

The day after Christmas....
Well, its the day after Christmas and I'm bored.....pretty pathetic, if you ask me. I've been like this since I was a kid.....I hated breaks from school. I think I could be a perpetual student or definitely go to school all year round, with just a few breaks. I love the social aspect of it, I guess. I guess, I also love the routine of it all. I enjoy being around the kids and the other teachers. I know, I know.....sick puppy.......pathetic!
I've spent the day cleaning and just getting some things putting away that needed to be put away. Plus, John has been acting pitiful again today and I'm so over that. Every other day he's sick, it seems like and I don't know what to do to make him feel better.
Back to reading I guess. I do have a couple of books I can read that I haven't read already or I can scrap......neither sound too awfully appealing to me.
gotta run for now,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Hey all.....I hope as you read this you are fonding remembering your morning or last evening's celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour!! And then the gifts!! Wow, I did great! Got John several things he wanted and needed....I got slippers (needed badly), Alias Season 1 and 2, Pirates 3, several candles from Yankee Candle (always a hit) and some hand-picked boxes of Russell Stover's candies.....yummo! But I think for me, it was all about watching JEB open his presents and being sooooo excited about a box of crayons and color books, or a new box of LEGOS, or a big LEGO pad to build things on, or a SHREK flashlight! He was so fun to watch!! I was sick with the stomach bug yesterday, but at least I feel better today....sort of. Still sort of tired, but not napping every hour!
I certainly hope all is well with you and you had a wonderful holiday!!

It's almost my birthday.....it's almost my birthday!!
I will be 47 yrs. old at 12:28 a.m. officially on Dec. 22nd!! WOO-HOO!!
John and I went shopping today....he had to finish shopping for me and we got a few things for PaPa from JEB and a couple of more things for JEB ( actually with a gift card from last year's presents) and then went to lunch to celebrate my birthday since JEB was in school and we weren't!! We went for Chinese......which was great! P.F. Chang's Chinese Bistro.....great food, lots of food served family style. I enjoyed it.....and that's all that matters!
We came home and wrapped gifts and now the space under our tree is jammed with gifts. I'm excited to see what I got......and I can't wait to see JEB open his gifts that are all wrapped in SHREK paper!! He'll love it!
Not much happening.....we're on break now. 16 days of vacation......and I'm going to work on the potty-training thing with JEB. We'll see how that goes......
Love to all and Happy Birthday to ME!

Well, 7 days and counting.....
Hey everyone. Sorry its been awhile, but John has been sick this week.....the flu, we think. Plus, I've been busy doing my holiday baking!! My favorite thing to do....I make cutout cookies for my class to decorate (last wkend) and then make holiday trays or packages for people at school or friends. I make Chex mix, both sweet and a salty version, no-bake oatmeal chocolate cookies, snowball nut cookies (the ones with powdered sugar on them), mini-cutouts, fudge, and a cheese ball to die for!! So, I took Friday and Monday off to do all of this, but with John home on Friday, it sort of dampered it. I usually have the house filled with holiday music, as loud as I can stand it....usually one of my three Amy Grant Christmas CD's......and just bake and cook to my heart's content. Oh well, hopefully on Monday I'll be able to do that.
Only one week till my birthday......I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not. We'll see how the week goes.......my class is going bowling for our Christmas party, but I also use it to celebrate my birthday with them. We'll have a blast....I love to bowl. I used to be quite good at it, but not so much anymore. We usually get a babysitter, go out to eat and then to a movie.....this year I told John I didn't want to do that....just all three of us go out to eat. That's all.
I usually love Christmas.....but this year John really hasn't been into it for some reason. And on top of everything....the tree lights broke!! We have one (we bought for $100 last year at Kmart) with all the lights already on it. Well, it comes together in three pieces and the very top section of lights on the middle part went out and we can't figure out how to fix them! We changed the fuses in all the possible plugs for that section, but still no luck.....which of course bums me out! That's one of my favorite parts......looking at the lights at night with all of the house lights out. What a bummer!! I told John maybe when we take it apart we'll be able to figure out how to fix it!! Hope so, or it's back to Kmart next day after Thanksgiving for a good deal on a new tree!!
Only four more days of school, but for me only three. Well, actually two and a half, since Thursday is a half-day! I'm glad to be out of school for a few days (two weeks) but that means I'm home with JEB and John for that time. JEB will probably drive both of us crazy....he's decided that he wants us to entertain him and do everything with him now. I'm trying to line up something with one of the girls in my class to come over two or three days and play with him. Her mom works at JEB's school and she would love it.....so I think we'll do that. It'll give him someone to play with for those days. Then we'll be going to PaPa's house on Christmas and up to Florence to visit with my sister and her family for a day, so he'll have cousins to play with!
I think I'll scrap over this vacation.....try to get caught up with JEB's book. Yeah, we'll see about that.
Well, gotta run. Baking calls again. I needed a break, so sat down to post so that Mackenzie wouldn't be too upset with me. Love ya, Kenz!!

Only 20 more days.....
Well, its almost here......Christmas! Plus, my birthday is only 17 days away. I start reminding John that my birthday if coming, so he won't forget, but he just doesn't seem to get it. Birthdays are such a BIG deal to me....my grandma always made a BIG deal of my birthday. It's the one day I get to be all about ME and feel special. Although, John doesn't get it. I want JEB to feel like he's so important on his birthday.....I wake up singing Happy Birthday to myself, because John won't do it! I'll have to remember to teach it to JEB! He'll sing to me!!
I still haven't wrapped any gifts yet.....I need to do that, but then JEB will just try to open them, so maybe I'll wait until right before Christmas. It might be safer!
I love just looking at the tree and the lights.....and I love driving around and looking at the houses all decorated up for the holidays. That's what we do on Christmas Eve after we go to church.....drive all over and look at lights! It's my favorite thing to do!
I hope everyone gets a really neat present....I got some good things for JEB and for John.
Love to you all,
