Another day

Here I am at school again, ready to face a new day. Schools, especially elementary schools, are different this time of the year. The kids are all excited about Christmas and anticipating sugar plums, etc., but the adults have different sugar plums dancing in their heads. They have thought of sleeping late and doing nothing but rest.

After this week maybe I can rest but right now it's all hands on deck to get ready for the joyous arrival of all things Easterling! Yesterday was Christopher's 12th birthday. Time has certainly flown by these past few years. He's really growing up, but after talking with him last night, I see he still wants to be around us. How long will that last? They all live so far, far away. If only they were a little closer we could be involved somehow in their lives. I would love to be able to attend a school event with them.

No use worrying about it. I guess we'll never experience the joy of our grandkids and being a part of L and S's lives. I understand them wanting to be independent, but I just wish they could be independent a little closer.

Any way, it's a moot point. The excitement of Christmas is upon us. We've got so much to take care of before they arrive. On to Christmas!
