School is over for me, but I still haven't had much time for reading LJ. Or writing in it for that matter. Kaitlin is off of school as well, for this entire week and all of next. I'm going a little bit nuts, since I only ever spend this much time alone with her, well, during winter break, so it's been a year and I'm not entirely sure what to do. We've baked and decorated gingerbread men, gone to the park and playground, and played a whole bunch of video games on the new system. There's been a bit of cleaning going on as well since we have people coming over tonight.
So between the kid and the holidays I haven't had much time for myself. But then I'm sure that's the case for most of you too.
In excellent end-of-the-year-news, my mother has finally gotten another job! She is now the Human Resources person for the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, which is an amazing opportunity, even if it does mean she now has a 90 minute commute to the middle of nowhere.
I'm not really sure what we're going to be doing for Christmas Day. It looks like my dad's family is going to be pretty busy with the new nieces (and recovering new Mom), so we might catch them on New Year's instead. We could go up to visit Josh's mom in Colusa, but it's last-minute, so it's entirely possible she's made other plans. Still, we'll figure something out. And it's not like we're missing Christmas or anything. Last weekend we had an early Christmas at my mom's place and then Josh's dad is coming over tonight, so there is plenty of family around. I do miss the feeling of Christmas when I was a kid and everything just sort of magically happened. Christmas is a lot more of a pain in the butt when you're the one that has to do all the cleaning, cooking, decorating, and driving.
So that's what's going on here. One more week of Winter Break and then Kaitlin goes back to school and my month off before starting the job hunt begins.
