Final paper..complete!

Last class of this semester for me is Eng 102! I was done with my UWO classes last week, I finalized my paper tonight and will be handing in tomorrow...FINALLY! I enjoyed my classes but I sooo need to clean my house, get things wrapped, get a couple last minute gifts etc. We are having my father in law fly in this week on Thursday. He was very ill in October, had brain surgery and a couple months later...well he will be visiting us. Can;t believe it! We are blessed that he is still with us and ready for the festivities ( although we will be taking it easy this year)! I am two semesters away from graduation! I have my clinical next semester and student teach in the fall ( thank goodness) I so need a job after all this!. It has been quite a journey for sure! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and hope you have a great break! thanks for a good semester!!

Really is it THAT time already?

Ok, so I don;t know about you but I realized today that it is December 11th...I looked at the calendar and started to sweat! I can;t believe the semester is almost over much less Christmas! It sneaks up on me every year. This paper for our class is one of the bigger projects that I need to work on. Very scary! Not only that but my house is a mess and we have my father in law (who was sick) is coming to visit us December 22-26th....I thought I was organized putting everything on layaway and having all the gifts pretty done, but between working and school..well lets just say I wish I could snap my fingers and get it all done! My husband went to third shift and we are starting to adjust to that schedule so that is going to take a while as well!
Breathe! Anyway I love this time of year but want everything done prior to our visitor coming!! TIS THE SEASON! There is light at the end of the tunnel, I will graduate next December.....can;t wait!! Hopefully I will be better organized next year! Merry Christmas all !

December!

I can;t believe it's December already! Planning, preparing and getting the house ready for Christmas. I am trying to make memories for my kids and we have traditions like picking out the tree, decorating and of course baking! we give out small treats to the teachers and friends throughout the holidays. My kids have two Christmas programs this year, one at their school and one at church. I am looking forward to all of this but also need to take time to really enjoy the season. I am actually going to a Christmas party for work with my husband so it will be nice to actually have a date...we don;t do that much so I am very much looking forward to having some time alone (well kind of). Anyway with homework, school and work I need to take time to take a breath and enjoy this time!
