The Christmas season is always a busy time of year but this year it seems over the top! We have an event every weekend (both nights) and sometimes more than one event a night. We all know I am such a planner but even I slipped up and planned 2 things on the same night.
Not only do we have events planned, we throw in Jeremy's exams, progress reports for me, and the normal planning. I made matters worse by trying to be super teacher. Let me explain, the kids are obsessed with the fact that I sew and have nagged me from day 1 to sew them something so I thought I would sew their Christmas present. So now I'm up to my ears in fabric and lunchbags. That's right..I'm sewing each of my 21 kids a lunch bag. It's really cute but I don't think I really thought about how long it would take to sew 21 bags when I started. Jerm has been a gem tonight and has helped me cut and iron out all the kinks I came across. We'll see how it goes...I post a pic when their done.
Jeremy also gets another shout out b/c he and my parents got a me a terrific birthday present. (My birthday is Tuesday, the 5th for those who care). Well my mom will be out of town on business this week so we celebrated early on Saturday. They got me the cutest little red IPOD nano. Now I wouldn't normally pick out a red object (as I tend to associate it with State and my heart yearns for the baby blue) but I love it!! By buying the red IPOD, Apple contributes $10 to the AIDS campaign in Africa. If you know me at all, you know how obsessed about Africa and how excited that my present can help in some way. So THANKS Jerm, Mom, and Dad!!! :)
In other news, BP is coming to stay with us this weekend and I'm excited to have some time to hang out with him. I love my little brother and it's funny how now I can't seem to hang out with him enough. It's funny how time changes relationships...when we were younger I couldn't stand being with him b/c he was aggrevating and annoying. Now I can't wait to see him again and hang out with him. (Mental note: another thing for the to do list----clean the house before Friday).
Alright, I've wasted enough time...back to sewing. :)

I would have chosen red for myself--that is, if I were to get a Nano. But of course I am an alumnus of State. You are industrious indeed to sew so many lunchbags for your students! Enjoy the business of the season; it will soon pass to the regular winter days that seem to pass as slow as swimming in molasses. Merry Christmas!
