Yup, entirely. Sorry to be such a bummer today. I've spread it around work here, too.

I'll get a kid-fix at lunch today with my 5yo and 18mo (my 5 yo is home becuase of a Prof. Development Day) so I'm looking forward to it!

Just got back from a little extra time with my girls, taking them for flu shots. Glad you feel the same way about the kid-fix as I do! It will make your day better for sure.

Have a good one.

Thanks, JD. It did wonders!

It's funny about kids. I have always tended to be distracted either by what has ALREADY happened, or by what's GOING to happen. My kids have always drawn my attention right into the present.

I don't know about you guys, but I just can't get out of holiday mode.

I'm sitting here at my desk with next to no motivation in doing anything.

In fact, I've wasted at least half of my day just surfing the web...

I find that concentrating on work between Thanksgiving and Christmas is really hard.

Yep, today sucked. All the crap that wasn't done properly when I was gone last week caught up with me today, which also happened to be one of the busier days in a long time-- a silver lining.

Thursday's a new day right guys!

I started to say "Also, the period between New Years and Thanksgiving . . . ."

Woohoo! Another hump day is here. Last Wednesday seems like about two days ago. We got our first dusting of snow last night. Just barely enough to see.

Happy Channakah, Christmas is coming, and it's good to be alive!

I'm finally finishing up my dealer and seedtrade price lists that I've been putting off. Late as usual but they're finally done!

I tried to get us to close down during Channukah but that didn't fly.

Ate an “English Muffin” for breakfast. So far, it’s been a great day !!

Beautiful weather here now. Going to do some heli-training this morning before the winds pick up. Then, off to do some Christmas shopping.

Have a great one, folks !!
