It's been awhile...
Since I've been able to blog. Actually, it's been awhile since I've done a whole lot of things: scrap book, read quietly during the day, even check my email. The last couple weeks have been so busy. It seems like it was just Thanksgiving.
Don't get me wrong, it's been a fun time. My sister turned 25 and my husband and I actually went out dancing with her and her husband. We saw a Tom Petty cover band, which was a ton of fun. My husband and I both admitted the next day that we are so not used to bars. It's been over two years since either of us has been in a bar, and we were shocked at how accustomed we are now to our quiet evenings curled up on the couch. But it was really fun to go out and be crazy, and my mom was great about watching my kid. I guess Em wanted to have a wild night too cause she stayed up with Grandma until the wee hours. And work has also been good. My students and I have been talking about irony and we've been having a lot fun playing around with language and sarcasm, etc. In general, everyone's been in a good mood. I'm showing the new version of Willy Wonka tomorrow to round out the week, so it should be a fun day. My daughter's been doing real well this week too. Part of the reason that I have been so busy was that last week she got Roseola. Her fever got to 105 at points, and sleeping was impossible. All three of us, especially my husband who's at home with her when she's sick, were walking around like zombies last week. Well, it's one week until winter break...whoo-hoo! I hope everyone is enjoying their (chilly) December so far. 1 comments from 1 users

glad to hear that you and your husband got to go out dancing. Sounds like fun, I know what you mean about getting use to quiet evenings at home. Me and my husband use to go out dancing and clubbing alot, but it has been ages since we have been out. I enjoy the quiet evenings after the kids are in bed. It is nice to go out once in awhile though. Glad to hear your daughter is better. My kids have been sick with the flu all week. It is no fun when the kids are sick.....themommie
