Things are leveling out around here...for no apparent reason. Life just seems to be moving slower, and certainly, at a much more manageable rate. School is just as hard, the kids are just as noisy, the dogs at work are just as unpredictable...still, it's not feeling as tough as it used to.
Perhaps it is the knowledge that the holiday season is fast approaching making my days feel more productive. The holidays are favorite time of the year - for sure! All the trick or treaters have gone away. Pumpkins and ghost are quietly resting in the attic for another year, and the house is clean, clean, clean (because I decided that if you want a job done correctly...do it yourself).
Eve and I are SOOOOO excited to be spending this Thanksgiving and Christmas season in Bossier City. Even though we split the holidays and it's only been one missed season...it seems forever since we've spent the actual days with our Tate family. We love the Andersen's, too, but it's nice to switch it up and travel for the big days.
Chris' paramedic program is going so well. Last night he worked at the hospital in Conroe and got some real good exposure to car accident victims, women in labor, overdoses, and one severed finger...He's on fire for his profession. I always knew he would be!
Amy will probably start working at the Speedy Stop where Eve used to work. It'll be good for her. Her's and Chris' finances are not that good, so the job will help relieve some of their stress, which, of course, rubs off on me and Eve.
School is pretty easy this session. I appreciate that after the last session. It was so hard, I began wondering if I was even cut out for graduate school. Alas, I am. Still excited about, at least.
Gonna stop babbling and move on to some necessary homework. Have had a lot of fun the last couple of weekends...need to stop that, so there's a lot of fun left in me for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Love to all!!!!
