another late night

Today was a topsy turvy day. It started when I had to cover third grade reading during my prep. Good news: friends got new to them furniture so they needed to get rid of their love seat and couch to make room. We are the happy recipients. I'm so excited. It actually goes well with our existing chairs, so it's amazing! We're working to keep the dog off of it. so It's covered with things when we aren't in the room.

I've been working on typing programs for the show this week. Still have more to do and I really want to just sleep!

Back to work!

I'm back

it's been forever and the main reason I kept up the blog was so that my mom could keep in touch with pictures of our life, but when she passed it seemed kind of pointless.

I've been Christmas crafting. Knitting and other things. The DD is a freshman at college (home for the holidays). I expect some growing pains on both sides over this break.

This next week will be crazy busy at school and home. Especially with all the things that need to be done in preparation for the holiday. It's like I'm cramming all of Advent into one week. We lost power today, so I started a craft that I could start in candlelight. I went into my messy craft room to find a star and stumbled on some jewelry wire which worked better than the hanger I was going to use to put the parts together. I decided to form a star out of the end at the top. It's for my secret Santa person at work (my boss). I think it turned out OK.  I'll leave a picture of the final product here:
