It's been a while my friends

...I am forcing myself to write this blog... it's yet to be seen whether it will be a good idea or not.

Seeing as how my last hand-written blog was to announce the early arrival of Christmas at Walmart and Christmas is now a few days away, I'm thinking it's been a while since I've been here to share with all of you. In reality, I have been checking up on everyone but have had absolutely no time to post anything. I've been so stressed about everything in life that even though school is done and I'm officially on vacation for two weeks I'm stressed about sitting down to write a blog.

In this time we have accomplished a lot. For starters, we drove to Los Angeles and back for Thanksgiving. On the way out we drove for about 20 hours straight until we stopped at the Grand Canyon. (OK...we did stop at Albequeque to nap at about 5:30 am...Logan hadn't slept much overnight and therefore neither of us had...so we found a walmart parking lot and took about an hour nap)

The Grand Canyon was wonderful and we took lots of great pictures. Unfortunately when we arrived in LA, I accidentally erased all of the pictures. All of them.

I'm moving on. The majority of the trip was spent doing homework. I eventually finished all of it, but not until December 9th. We drove back home after Thanksgiving in one shot...it took 22 hours.

The rest of the past two weeks were taken up entirely of schoolwork and work. The house was gross and thanks to my husband for taking care of things around here to at least keep us all healthy. I did eventually finish the semester, successfully thankfully. I have a break until the 20th of January and am trying to rest and catch up on housework, chores, and sleep. In the meantime work has been overwhelming and even though I am technically on vacation I'm working everyday until I get a certain project done. My hope is to get it done before monday.

I'm still super stressed and I'll probably take this first week of vacation just trying to return to a normal state of operation.

Ok...back to work at 9pm on a Saturday night.
