I can't believe January is almost over. Of course, I spent the first part of the month appeasing post holiday shoppers 5-6 days a week. After the retail demand put on the brakes I have only worked 2 days a week. What do I do with my spare time? Very funny. We are moving in 2 days! We are currently living in an overpriced apartment and are going to live in a more reasonably price townhouse. We will be closer to where my hubby goes to his evening masters classes and where he works. So, I am up to my eyeballs in cardboard boxes and dry skin (from the carboard boxes). I am so happy to be moving, though. Our apartment has a ridiculously tiny kitchen and the place we are moving to has a nice big kitchen. Ah, bliss. I can already imagine myself digging into the Barefoot Contessa cookbook I got for Christmas. Alright enough imagination here.
My girls have been on our "summer" vacation since the first of December. We will start up school again after we get settled into our new house. They have absolutely loved our vacation, except for not exactly being lovely run and play outside weather. They hate waiting for friends to get home from regular school to play with them. I say at least 5 times a day, "They aren't home yet!" Don't ya love homeschool? Today in the car I was telling Ellie (my 8 year old) about the countries included in the term "Latin". So, school continues whether they like it or not.
Yesterday I packed my sewing machine. I patted it lovingly and assured it that I will soon use it again. I'm hoping to have more time once we move and get settled. Why am I such an optimist? I'll blame it on dad and his dominant genes.
Anyway, I hope everyone has begun 2010 in a peaceful way. I put in fb status on January 1, that I am so glad I don't need to concern myself with a whole entire year. I only need to be thankful that God's mercy is new every morning for me.
