Lazy Days of January...

The Christmas rush is finally over, decorations are put away, exchanges and returns have been made...so what am I doing with my time? Things are just 'normal' busy now, and I'm lovin' it!!! My class is getting a little more hectic, with the weekly requirements steadily getting more time consuming. It is very interesting, though, and that definitely helps! Yesterday evening I was privileged to spend a few hours helping with my paternal grandmother's care. She is here in our local hospital recovering from a crack in the sacrum (correct spelling, I hope!). Her condition had worsened some yesterday, and she was in need of motivation to eat and interact. We had a really good evening, and I hope it helped her healing process. We'll head back up there when Greg gets home from work today. The goal is for her to be able to get back home to my parent's house, where she will hopefully have a full recovery. Well, the second grading period has come to an end for Ryan and Evan. There is always a little bit of anticipation when you open that envelope containing the objective report of your child's behavior and academic achievements! Fortunately, all is well. It is hard to believe that we are beyond the halfway point in the school year! Maybe by summer I'll have my Christmas pics posted...we'll see!
