It has been awhile since I posted. Blogging seems to take a backseat to the craziness of the holidays. The month of December was full of wonderful events! Here is a quick recap.
* Emily decided she did in fact want to be part of the HS swim team.
* I as a result quickly set to coordinating a sport physical at the last minute.
* I have been reinstated as the primary swim team chauffeur.
*No excuse for not working out at the gym...if i am going to be there anyway for Emily's practice. (So, I am back on the wagon) Good thing with all the "celebrating" I did!
*Attended Colonial Christmas Bunko, Cloverdale Christmas Bunko, Colonial Christmas Staff Retreat, Cloverdale's Christmas Dinner, Lubeth's World Famous Christmas Party, Living Water Christmas Party, Christmas Eve @ Erlin's, Christmas Day @ Casa de Ontiveros, (Mom the food was spectacular, and nothing short of marvelous), Christmas visit with Chuck's Dad.
*Chuck, Emily, & I participated in the 2nd Annual Open All of the Gifts on Christmas Eve, so we can Sleep in on Christmas Day Celebration. This tradition was started last year at the request of the anti-morning folk that live with me. It is actually good for the only pro-morning person in our clan(me) because I get to enjoy the quiet of Christmas Morning, spend a time in quiet reflection with my Lord on such a fabulous day, and do not have to go into "Crazed Drill Sergeant" mode. It makes for a great start to a great day for all involved...very stress free! I am all for stress-free on Christmas Day! My advice...as your children get older...don't be afraid to tweak those traditions!!!!!
* Six month visit to the dentist.
* Attended Quality Teaching & Learning instructor's meeting in Raleigh, NC.
*Chuck met me in Raleigh, so we could celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.
*Started an instructional technology blog called "What the Tech" for teachers. Well, and for anyone else who might be interested...let me give a quick shout out to all my home schooling peeps!
Tomorrow... things should get back to normal...HA...that makes me laugh....I think that I should actually rephrase that to...tomorrow things will be back on regular schedule! So hopefully more posts... on a more regular basis!
