It's Going Around

I'm getting a taste this week of the head/sinus/general-body-ache that seems to be going around.  I probably need more sleep.  And I'd be getting more if I could sleep, but this junk makes it hard.  At least it's almost Friday.

We woke up an hour late this morning.  Oh, the panic!  I know you know the feeling.  But ... we were up, showered, made up (hair and all), and out the door in twenty-five minutes.  It was a team effort, and Steve and I were pretty proud of ourselves.  I think we set a new family record.

Tonight I'm making my mom's famous Mashed Sweet Potato Bake for Sara's Thanksgiving feast at school tomorrow.  (I'm trying not to breathe on it.)  When I mentioned her Thanksgiving feast, Sara said, "Thanksgiving ... oh, great!"  It's just the best time of year, and even better with a toddler.

All week I'd been wondering when 103.7 would start playing Christmas Carols.  They hadn't made an announcement because they wanted to keep it a surprise, but when I got in the car after work tonight, there they were, waiting to greet me.  Any and all of my drive time becomes more pleasant when the carols are playing.

We had Christmas pictures taken last weekend, and I'm anxious to see them.  I may give you a sneak peak once I have them.  I've already browsed through the card selection at shutterfly.com, so now all I need is for the pics to arrive.

We're headed to Kansas this weekend to pay a visit to my sisters-in-law and their families.  I love watching Sara play with her cousins (she's the oldest of the youngest four - all girls!); they have so much fun together.  We'll come back Sunday for just a couple days of work before our Thanksgiving break.  And a break, my friends, is something for which I am incredibly thankful.

Have a great weekend!
