Is It Really 2010

Sorry about not blogging yesterday. I actually sat down and started to write but somehow what I wrote seemed boring.... (well I can't always have scintillating things to write about!) All day I kept thinking, I'll get back to that later, but my brain was on Rodent mode and we all know how small a Rodent's brain is.

Mostly I was spinning yesterday. I didn't blow through my rolags as I thought I would. But I am almost out of them now. I have a spool of spun singles that I am happy with. Today I may do some more work on preparing more rolags or I might actually get out some silk hankies and try to do my level 3 homework. We'll see.

Today is our last day with the Christmas decorations. We will be taking down our trees and all our decorations and settling back into our regular household scheme.

It is hard to believe that 9 days of 2010 has gone by so fast. As I get older I realize that time moves more quickly than it used to. 1 week out of ten is done and then we will have March break. I realize that wishing your time away is not good so I try to live in the moment as much as possible. There is one thing I am looking forward to and that is the NPSW annual February retreat. The third weekend of February I will be heading off to a log lodge for a weekend of laughter and fun while spinning and picking wool with others who are of a like mind. For a while I thought that I would have to bring the Daughters with me as Hubby was scheduled for a trip to Victoria at the same time, but that has changed. Yesterday we received an email notifying him that his trip would be postponed to a later date due to a conflict with the 2010 Olympics. That's about the only good thing that came out of the Olympics (oops! did I say that out loud?!!) So I will be traveling to the log lodge of my dreams with no children attached for a weekend of pure pleasure.

This week has been a shock in more ways than one. Daughter #1 had a terrible shock when she got back to school.... it was a rough week with two tests and a major power point presentation for homework. She made it through though, and I am happy to say that she did quite well with her marks. We still don't know what her mark is on her power point... that will come next week. She is starting on her first set of mid-term exams in a couple of weeks... we hope that goes well for her, as she stresses over these thing a lot.

So there you have it a little bit of an update on life here on the funny farm. Last night we took our annual family portrait in front of the Christmas tree. After taking lots of pictures with one camera and then the other when the battery went dead on the first, and this one's hair being slightly askew, and that one's smile not being right, and Hubby not making it back to the seat before the timer went off on the camera,and my nose looking like Rudolph's, we all agreed that this was our favorite.


Ahhh! Now you all know why we call this the funny farm!
