Updateage
Holy schmoly shittoli, it's been a long time. Truly my intentions were to be online by now and writing more frequently than this. Sometimes life just takes some funny turns and twists.
Thanksgiving has come and gone once again. I hope those of you who celebrate this holiday had a wonderful day. My own holiday was fantastic as was the madness and fun of venturing out on Black Friday.
As for the rest of things...
Family - All seems to be right with the world there as well. Yeah, there have been ups and downs with the crew, but things are okay. My oldest daughter is getting married, my oldest son got married, Boycub had a pretty serious sprain and crack to his growth plate, but seems to be recovering well. Babycub was a mite ticked that I vetoed her becoming the youngest member of a downhill ski racing team. She will get over it. Way little family member - the baby is now crawling all over, pulling herself up, and adorable with two new teeth.
Work - It's been a really hectic year so far. I've discovered I really do love the challenge of working with the "difficult" kids that have been tossed my way via the tutoring program I am running in my school. I still teach the classes I used to teach, but now I have this added challenge. It does make me ponder those old thoughts of getting my PhD in child psychology, but that's another blog.
In the meantime, I am happily "parenting" a whole new crew of kids. I am cheering for their accomplishments, going to bat for them when I feel they are being treated unfairly, kicking ass when they are being stinkers, and crying when things go badly for them. It reinforced my belief that there are way too many idiots out there calling themselves "parents". Do they have any clue how much damage they are doing to their kids? I think not. It saddens me.
Weather - Oy is it starting to get cold! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and shiver! I am thinking of a quickie trip to someplace warm and balmy would be a good thing this month. It's what I am asking Santa to bring me this year!
I do hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
One of these days I will really and truly be back online - really!!
Until then -
Ciao!

Glad to hear all is well! I have a brother-in-law that lives up north...haven't heard from him in a while either. I was starting to think maybe the northern part of our state had disappeared!
