How's your Christmas season going?
I wish I could say that mine was going as I had planned but we all know that never happens!
I really wanted to be doing all these fun and meaningful activities but then I had to go and get sick. And now Lee's sick. I'm am hoping and praying it's not going to cycle through the kids!

I'm also a little bummed that as of last night I had a 98% in my Critical Thinking class and as of tonight it's down to an 84%. I totally bombed one of my papers because I didn't leave myself enough time (and I didn't work on anything this week because I was sick).
Oh well.
I guess a 4.0 is over-rated. :(
JUST KIDDING.
I just got an email from my teacher saying she made a mistake and entered a 27 instead of 127 so I'm still at an A. Yay! I didn't think it was THAT bad of a paper. :)

I'm trying to finish some Christmas presents. I won't share those just yet. Not that they're super exciting, it's just that some of who I'm making them for read this blog and I'd hate to ruin any surprise.

I've been experimenting with Subway Art. Here's a couple of my samples:
I'm not 100% sure what I think of them. I think I need a lot more practice drawing on the computer. I want to make one for each one of my children with their names and things about them.
I think that could be cute.
We'll see if I get around to that!

Jake FINALLY called tonight.
I'm gonna ring his neck when he comes home Thursday!
Turkey.
No one can be too busy to call their mother at least once a week!
I'm just saying.

I'm applying for a job tomorrow. (If it's posted.)
I got an inside tip on a job opening and I'm kinda nervous but I'm going to try.
I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

Primary kicked my butt today!
I went up to just sit with some of the kids while the teachers went into a training meeting and all I have to say is
WHOLEY MOLEY!
I totally worked up a sweat.
The kids were crazy.
Yes, they were.
Some were having a hard time sitting and instead decided to jump around and even try to escape.
Yeah, it's been a while but this was bad.
The nursery kids that will be starting Primary in January came in and only one of them knew what a chair was for. Good luck Sunbeam teacher!
Then, after that, I rushed around trying to find the podium and microphone for the Relief Society room and got even more hot. Seriously, I literally worked up a sweat. That shouldn't happen at church!
Anyway, I started fanning myself and luckily I wasn't asked if I had hormone problems this time!

I'm pretty happy that Emma and Max (yes, Max too!) are excited about reading lately!
Max is actually ahead of his reading for his literature responses for school which is a shocker. Normally he's finishing up the book at the last minute. (I guess he comes by that trait naturally? Hmmmmm.)
I think all this reading is expanding Emma's vocabulary.
She told Max today,
"That's a clever idea, Max!"
What 6-year-old uses the word clever anymore?
It was cute.
