Hi everyone! I was going to do some serious writing this week, but things are not panning out as I expected. The time between Christmas and New Year’s is usually when I chill, but this short week is filling up rapidly with unforeseen events.
My older daughter was in a chain reaction the-front-person-slammed-on-her-brakes-too-fast car accident last Wednesday, so we will be dealing with insurance and repairs before she heads back to college next week.
My younger daughter has lymphitis (or something – it was a vague diagnosis…) that is not responding to anti-biotics, so we will be going back to the doctor and the lab for blood-work this week. She and I will be heading to Arizona over the weekend to get her back to school, too. That trip is a lot of prep after she’s been home for two weeks, read: time-consuming and stressful in itself.
I am working this week as well, and hopefully chipping away at my taxes and myriad other things, but sadly, writing does not seem to be one of them.
Holiday weeks are too short!
Instead of stressing myself out with the almost perfectly edited essay, I’ll just wait. You’ll be glad I did!
Have a safe and happy new year’s celebration, and I hope each and everyone one of us, all our friends and family, and everyone in the world get whatever we need in 2010 and the rest of the decade.
There. I think we’re all covered for a v–e–r–y l–o–n–g time.

Hope both girls are okay!
Sounds like a plan – you take care of you and the girls and I will gladly wait to read your next blog. :D
Have a wonderful, happy and healthy New Year’s celebration Nan!! All the best to you and your family for a terrific new year!
Happy New Year to you also!
Thanks, Jaya! So far, so good! ;)
Thank you, Tara! The girls are fine. I think I’ll keep Emma home an extra week. Her teachers aren’t too worried about her getting behind. They’d rather she rested. Onward, eh?!
So glad to hear. Good idea :) I agree – here’s to a great rest of 2010!!
