In the process

[newmama]

Had fun at the Christmas Party last night! The kids were pleased with their presesnts and my friends all loved the gifts I got for them, made by my exSIL. She makes amazing purses, aprons, bags, oven mitts and even pillows! I was glad to support her business and also make my friends happy at the same time!

I did choke up at one of the game-conversation starter topics. It was about your best Christmas memory. Mine was with exH so I couldn't share it and I didn't want to think about it. BUt I recovered.

My Chicken tortilla soup won the soup cook off booby prize! It was a fiberoptic dancing Santa. So tacky and funny!

My grandma...in the hospital AGAIN! I was able to visit her yesterday on my way down to the party. They transferred her to a different hospital with a cardiac unit. BUT THE GOOD NEWS is the angiogram showed her heart was healthy and her issues have something to do with her bowels...sorry for TMI but she tries to go to the bathroom and gets a cold sweat, feels like she is going to pass out and then her blood pressure goes way up. If anyone has a guess, let me know. They are doing more tests and she will be there for a couple more days.

And now I am just doing chores until S comes home and we will go to the Zoo Lights event tonight. It is a bit of a hassle getting there but I think he will really like it.

Tomorrow I have dinner/play date with my single mom friend, so it will be busy getting there after work but we'll make it happen.

I am feeling a little empty right now but can't place my finger on it....just really really really ready for some extended time off! A silver lining to teaching, for sure...
