wow

It sure has been a long time since my last post. I'm sort of busy with just keeping up with life. I've been busy subbing most days...which really is a good thing, it just means that the time I have has to be totally used up and not wasted....which doesn't mean I never waste any time, I just try not to. And, I really haven't had much to post about, I guess. Most days, I'll get an idea of a good post as I'm driving to school or heading to the store, then I forget what I wanted to post when I sit down in front of the computer.

So, instead of being really clever, I'll just state what is.

Football has begun again. I don't really think it ever ended, but the off-season weight training program has started.

I am subbing. Each day I sub, I feel more and more comfortable at the school.

I am living in this awareness that the end is so near. It sort of stinks, kind of, I guess, in a way. I wonder if things will ever get better...with the economy, with the housing market, with life. I wonder if my son will even play football for his dad. I know, I'm crazy.

I love Christmas. I am enjoying it. I'm trying to stay ahead of everything, so I don't get overwhelmed. I really don't want to be overwhelmed at such an awesome time. I love plugging in all of the lights and just enjoying the view.

I'm missing my dad. For months, I've avoided pictures of him, playing the song I wrote for him, and thinking about him too much. Tonight, though, I can't stop looking at pictures of him.

I haven't started on any of the gifts I'd like to make for Christmas yet. Do you think I still have time? :)

I'm hosting the Schmitke Christmas. I want everything to be perfect. I need to realize it won't be.

I wish I could figure out what to get my husband for Christmas that he would love and that would totally surprise him. I just can't afford Hawaii this year. :)
