12 days of Christmas...break
It feels like December has zoomed by. Doesn't seem that long ago that I made my Onederland post, but apparently two weeks have passed between entries. Really the same ol' same ol' is going on...but I have a great Xmas break to look forward to. Our last day of school was yesterday. I got all my grades done and turned in too...less work for me on the workday and more time to run my mouth! lol I didn't have any failures...one girl barely, and do mean barely squeaked by. Other than that I feel I had a successful semester and I do think the kids learned a lot...I just hope that in the future they'll have some memory of the language skills they learned in Spanish II. If not, they'll have memories of the numerous jokes and discussions that had nothing to do with the langauge, lol.
The only thing I don't like about break is that it's extremely short. I'm back to work on the 2nd and the kids come the 3rd. Everyone around us comes back the 8th. *sigh* Oh well. I have all Spanish I next semester so I'll have to take some time to refresh myself. I won't have much time though...I have a very busy break:
--Xmas dinner/Momaw's birthday party for Mom's side tonight
--GC vs. Honaker basketball tomorrow
--Christmas Cantata Sunday
--Christmas Eve with the familia
--Christmas Day dinner at my aunt's
--Pigeon Forge trip with the madre Dec. 25-28
--Hang out time with Jamie, Foxy, and Kim at Jamie's Dec. 28-30
--Potential hang out with Tara and Jessica
--Potential New Year's bash at my and my neighbor's apts.
Yeah...not a lot of time to just chill. But, I'm definitely looking forward to it!
Things on the family front are a bit stressful right now. Please keep us in your prayers. Amber's on home visit for 16 days and it's already been rough on day 1. This'll be a good indication if all 3 of them are ready for her to be home permanently. My Mom offered Linda my Momaw's house to stay in rent-free, only paying for utilities. She'd been in prayer about this for months...because it's such an absolute thing. I mean, Momaw has no intentions of ever going back to live there...but it's still been her house. Linda's really excited and we know she'll take care of it. She'll be Mom's neighbor. Linda's never had a house before. It'll be an interesting, exciting change, I think. Mom went back to UK last week to a very happy Dr. Ain in regard to her weight loss. However, he was not happy with her test results. He thinks the count of cancerous cells is too high and could cause her problems. He wants her to go through another treatment. ...So much for "cancer free." She doesn't want to do it. I don't know what she'll decide.
Anyway, I'll be back to do my traditional year in review survey Christmas Eve. Cuidense!
