Happy 2010

Happy New Year!! 

The past few days have been days of laying around and doing nothing.  I feel a bit guilty, but not really.  I am using the excuse of having Dh around the house as my reason for not accomplishing anything.  ;-)  I have done alot of net surfing, knitting and reading.  I have also gotten laundry done. 

I am looking forward to going back to work in a way as I do miss my kids but yet feel a bit down at the end of a holiday.  I had meant to do a lot more lesson planning, but feel that I really needed the down time to re-energize.

So a quick rundown of the past few weeks. I did end up with a bronchitis/cold illness that has brought me down. I am doing a lot of sleeping and found myself rather whiny.  I am still battling the loss of voice which is a bit frustrating as well as coughing and phlegm issues. We spend 4 days at the beach with Dh younger brother and his family. It was a lot of fun relaxing and playing games.  Of course the time was way to short.

Youngest son was home from school.  I always enjoy his quiet presence. He is so at peace with the world and comfortable with himself. I greatly admire this young man. 

Oldest son is on the path to going back to school.  I am extremely proud of this young man's ability to bounce back from some really hard knocks in life. 

Dh will begin a new part time position at a local private college.  He will have many hats to wear for the next year or so with the college, his other job, a student and a city planner.  The past few weeks have been down time for him and I realize that he needs to be busy otherwise he doesn't know what to do with himself!
