Recap......

I have been beyond busy and have really not been very good at keeping up with my post! 

So what has been going on to keep me so distracted??

Thanksgiving

Finals

Christmas prep

Heart Cath

Life.....

 

Thanksgiving came and past with out any major disasters. In fact my cousin and I had a really good time waiting for the turkey to cook and managed to polish off a bottle of wine!

It is always nice having family around, that is one thing that I want for my boys: to grow up with and around their family. 

 

I did brave the crazy Day after Thanksgiving sales.... Broke a nail.. but got what I went for... so complete success!

I had perhaps the worst experience thus far in my classes at EIU this semester. The dreaded group work... Now I can say with all honesty that there is not a single one of these girls that is a bad person, in fact I like them all, but as a collective whole... OMG!  Lord help them! 

 At times I had to remind myself that to them this is life or death.... they don't look at it as just another thing that will too pass....

I hope the experience taught them that their success in life does not hinge on one project their senior year of college.

 

Heart cath...

So far.. so good....

We are keeping our fingers crossed that it worked this time.... 

I can say this time it was much more enjoyable....

as enjoyable as having something shoved up your leg can be :)

 

Christmas Prep

The boys are both ready for Christmas ... of course!

I am as ready as I am going to get at this point. 

This year has just really been an off year for me.... 

I am not sure if it was everything else I had going on, or the fact that it has been sixty degrees outside for the past few weeks off and on, but for whatever reason I have just had a very hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year.

This is SO not like me! But I have managed to get it together for the most part.

So now I think I am caught up....
