Christmas with at home was nice and low key. I got exactly what I wanted, which was great! It was a banner year for me. I got a Nook Simple Touch, a hand-held mixer, an awesome Green Day coffee table type book, and more Polish Pottery than I know what to do with! We went to Midnight Mass at 11pm at Our Lady of Victory. It's my favorite Mass of the year because we get to sing all the best music, including THE BEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER: Joy to the World. I love it!
The day after Christmas was the family gathering at Grandma Bush's house. Emy couldn't be there because she had to be at the store, but what can you do. We can't always get everyone there every year. But my cousin Becky was there with her 7 day old son Issac (spelling?)! He was such a cutie. He's a sleeper, and his big brother doesn't quite know what to make of him yet. It's fun to have little ones to watch for entertainment!
The rest of the week was perfect. I got some errands run and was able to spend time with my friends. For New Year's Eve Claire came over and we played games had fun. I was able to start back to Manning on Monday morning which gave me most of the day to unpack and re-organize once I got home.
Tuesday was the first day back for teachers in my building. It was a "work" day so we were able to spend the day doing whatever needed to be done for ourselves. It was the best way to come back to work. I got to wear comfy clothes, one step up from PJs. I got all the biographies integrated into the Non-fiction section and had a productive meeting the the librarian from the other buildings. It was awesome!
Now it's the first Monday back to work. If the nice weather can hold out a little longer I'll be happy enough. There aren't enough "breaks" in the Spring semester, but that's no reason to start wishing for snow days! Happy Monday!
