It's been awhile since I've updated this thing. The kids are currently watching Kung Fu Panda, courtesy of Christmas and work is slow, so I figured that there is no time like the present, right?
We had a great visit to California for Christmas. It was nice because while we had some plans, it seemed as though we weren't constantly moving at a million miles an hour. My Gram (mom's mom) has not been doing well and her health has been and will continue to be in decline. We were able to take the kids up to Redding to see her and visit for a little while. It's funny how you can become closer to relatives the older you get. I've always adored Gram, but for some reason, my affinity for her seems to grow the older I get. :) I was able to do my training while I was gone as well, so that was always a good thing.
We are now back in Louisiana and seems as though life has just picked up where it left off when we went home. The once-seemingly-empty calendar has gotten full again and it just seems to be a never-ending cycle. Sadly, I had even contemplated pulling Gavin out of his school next year, just to make it easier on me driving wise. Luckily, I snapped out of it and realized that I can suck up the drive for a few more years. The public education system is seriously broken out here, so if you're able to get a spot with financial aid in a private school, then you'd be a fool to turn it down.
Sorry this is a little ho-hum. I feel like I'm just trying to catch up with everything. My house is a disaster, Mark has been working a lot lately (I think I see him maybe for 2 hours a day?) and work has been fairly busy. I like the fact that I only work 2 days a week. I'm very lucky, plus I really like what I do and the fact that I get to do it from home. :)
Okay, enough boring blather for now.
