Finally a break!

Well it has been a busy past couple of weeks. I have been teaching and subbing non stop; while the kids got crazier and crazier I might add. Herman has been braving the cold december days at work, and recieved a generous Christmas bonus.

When not working, we have been out shopping, trying to find the perfect present for everyone on our list. I ended up hand crafting a majority of them, which took a lot of time and energy.

It is rather ironic; after complaining about being pulled in too many directions when it comes to holiday dinners, Herman and I have nowhere to be this Christmas. This might actually be good, since I have unfortunately caught a fairly nasty cold, but it will still be odd to be alone together for Christmas. Now I'm scrambling to figure out what I'm going to make as a holiday dinner. (I'm better at breakfasts).

But, life is good. We got presents out and too all those we needed to, we have a beautiful tree, and despite this cold, Herman and I are hearty, healthy, and happy.
