Just a little bit of everything!

Wow, it is already January 2, 2009. I can't believe that Christmas is over and the new year has come. We had a wonderful Holiday. The kids seemed very pleased with their gifts, so life is definitely good. It just went by way too fast! We have this last weekend before they go back to school on Monday. I think we will go to the movies either tomorrow or on Sunday for one last outing before buckling back down.

I didn't make our traditional New Years Day dinner so I think I will make it on Sunday. I didn't think I would miss it but I am and I have decided that I need it! For those of you that don't know what our traditional dinner is, it consists of Black eyed peas with ham hocks or ham chunks, fried potatoes, cornbread, sauerkraut and wieners, chow-chow, banana peppers, onion wedges and that is about it!

My mothers' birthday would be tomorrow. I am doing okay for now. I know I will feel really sad tomorrow, but I am not going to get in a funk. I am going to think positive thoughts about her and if I find myself slipping then I plan on changing whatever I am doing at that moment. We will see if that works.

I am also a bit nervous about starting my new semester on the 12th. I am taking a five hour class on Spanish. I will have a total of 14 hours. I have always taken 12 hours so I am a bit nervous about the 2 extra hours. I just want it to go well. I think it will, but I am still nervous!

I hope you all have a wonderful new year and may you get everything you want and need in the year to come. Happy 2009!
