This is what happens......

when you combine toys and 6 hours of sitting listening to one person talk.........

I'm still here!!!

Yes, I know it has been awhile.  Things have been pretty hectic and I feel like I haven't hardly had anytime to sit down, let alone blog.  The past month has kind of seemed like one long perpetual meeting.  If I'm not sitting in a meeting, then I'm driving to a meeting, or typing up minutes from a meeting.  Also, who can forget the annual start of basketball season sickness which I think the hubby and I have been passing back and forth to each other. 

With Thanksgiving coming up, I have been trying to hold fast to my rule of no Christmas music until after Turkey Day.  It has been tough.  The kids are already requesting the YouTube video of all the animals singing Deck the Halls.  I just need to make it through one more day of begging and we should be in the clear.  We will probably head south on Thursday since hubby has basketball practice the other days. 

This time of year also includes one of my least favorite tasks, the making of the Christmas list.  I keep asking for the same thing every year and I still haven't gotten it.  I would just like to have the house done, without me having to rip out any more lathe or plaster.  I really don't need much, although All Star tickets for next year would be nice.  Can Santa bring you motivation????

The second job of being a college professor has been interesting.  Of the 26 I had enrolled for this semester, I forsee may 8 actually finishing the class.  Between the emails about why their financial aid money has not been released to wondering if the singing of the National Anthem at a Chiefs game would count as concert attendance it has been interesting.  Really people???

Well, since the doctor told me told that my sinus affliction is most likely viral and just needs to run its course, I suppose I should wrap it up.  I did get to have my first nasal spray experience and while it has helped, everything thing is tasting like snot right now (okay, that was maybe TMI).  Happy Thanksgiving!!!
