Miscellaneous

During the Break the kids all came over for dinner...chicken and rice!

I made them pose for a picture for me JUST BECAUSE!!

They didn't give me too much guff.

We played Jenga afterwards.

It was low-key and fun.

What else has been going on around here?  Not much.  Literally. Not much!

It's Tuesday and school starts again tomorrow.  I guess one good thing about it is that

it's not a FULL week.....just 3 days!

We watched the movie "The Warrior" the other day....Wow!  It was really good.

I would definitely recommend it.  Nick Nolte was in it and that is really it

for 'stars'.  It was an intense show, with lots of parts that I had to hide my head

because it is a show about a Mixed Martial Arts tournament (and I'm the type of

person that doesn't really like all the violence that I associate fighting with). 

 I know, I know...MMA??Jennifer liking THAT?? 

This was my first reaction also when Briar suggested that we

watch it.  He said that it wasn't like what I thought is was going to be so I said

OK.  Glad I did.  Go watch it!

For the life of me I don't know why, but these last couple of nights I have not been

sleeping worth a darn, or I guess I haven't been sleeping lots.  I go to bed and

lay there, wishing I were asleep, watching the clock, wishing I were asleep, watching

the clock some more, the pattern continues.  I haven't gone to sleep prior to 1:00 AM

and I am not liking it.  I don't sleep in late, been up by 8:00.  This might had an 

adverse affect on my back-to-work schedule so I'm not sure what that will

be like....UGH!  It's already past 11:00 right now...doesn't look too promising!

I am all ready for Wednesday group tomorrow.  Dinner is ready to be heated up

and the table is set.  The house is picked up, notice I didn't say 'cleaned up'....

I didn't do a complete overhaul!  I will be able to get by though.

Went by and saw grandpa today.  LOVE that man!  He had just gotten done

ironing his shirts.  He has been battling a cold for about a week or so but he seems to

be on the mend.  I hope so!  Lousy colds!!!  He looked great though and was pretty 

chipper.  We had a nice visit and I left him in time to get ready to go to lunch.

Had to run around and do some errands while I was in town.  Paxton started back to

school today and called me in a panic because her biology class wasn't the correct one

so she had to drop it and pick up another couple of classes.  She will get the right

biology class next quarter.  She is taking 20 credits this quarter...seems like a lot to me but

hopefully she will keep on top of her classes!  AND get World History done also!!

She is killing me with this class.....a slow and painful kind of death...and she loves that!

OK.  I am going to sign off for now and see if I can get to sleep.

3 days into the new year already!  Time is flying by!!!!
