...well, we have one (two actually) but we don't use them.

Routines: we have those...but don't actually use them either!

Hi Songbh! I'm a newly full-time teacher, too: high school in Ohio. My kiddos are pretty self sufficient (they're 17 and almost 13) and extremely helpful in keeping the house running. DH pretty much keeps the laundry pile to a manageable level which leaves me primarily in the roles of meal planning/preparation and family logistics!

I'm up and out of the house by 6:15am right now...I'll have to change that mid-January because I have early hall-duty and will probably leave by 6:00am. DH covers the mornings when he's not out-of-town, and when he is, the girls just get themselves off to school.

Hi Honey....."new" beau?

Good to see you Kerri! I think of you often, too. Have a wonderful holiday and "safe journey" into the New Year!

I have to pop over and wish blessings on Zillah and her newest addition, too.

I did get the holiday decor all down and mostly put away. The last of the kitchen "stuff" came out of the dishwasher and washing machine/dryer this afternoon and those boxes still need carried to the basement. DH is out-of-town so that won't happen until probably Thursday. I also got my upstairs pantry shelves organized and inventoried. I haven't made it to the basement yet. It won't happen this week-end either, our older scouts are handling the lunch stand for a regional canine agility club competition and that will pretty much take up the week-end. (we've done one competition already last November) They're earning money for the "last" camp out (FEBRUARY 29! Brrrrrrrr!) and for their Gold Award Ceremony this spring.

Well, it's almost 10:00 pm and I still have a project rubric to develop for Child Development class' last presentation...they need it tomorrow! (Can you say "procrastination?")

Love to all!
Lenora
