Another year past. My parents were well enough to travel for the holiday and visited relatives in an adjoining state. As a result, my family of four stayed home, alone, and had a nice quiet day yesterday.
I do NOT go shopping on Black Friday and today was no exception. My oldest DS and I went to visit my parents' cat at the kennel. Crazy, I know, but you have to know this cat. He was thrilled to see us and shed about a pound of fur to prove it. I normally don't mind being around cats, as I have one, but today was different. Matlock actually climbed up on my shoulder. Not something he normally does. He was happy to see us, but will be better when my parents return.
I did shop today, from the ease of my chair with the help of my computer and credit card. The DSes are mostly taken care of, as are my parents. Hubby still has to come through with a wish list.
I have signed all the Christmas cards. Now I must spend time addressing them tomorrow.

November
This month seems to be a hodgepodge of stuff.
The election is finally over. I was tired of all of the news coverage, politcal ads, etc. Now the choice has been made and it's time to move on.
My DH's birthday was this week. He's been traveling for work again and the housework doesn't get done when he's away, as I am exhausted by all the to-ing and fro-ing that occurs when he's gone. It's not more than usual, I think it's just a mental thing for me. I know I don't have backup, so my stress level goes up. Anyway, he's home and he's another year older.
Oldest DS's football season is over. His report card comes home this week. Oh, I attended a Blue Shoe concert with DS and the rest of his 6th grade class (6 yellow school buses full). It was interesting to hear two ninety somethings play the blues. We heard David "Honeyboy" edwards and "Pinetop" Perkins play.
Youngest DS is doing well in school. He's a bit frustrated by the after school schedule, but that cannot be helped. I agree 3 days worth of therapy and lessons isn't fun, but it will be worth it in the long run.
I have not done a lick of Bible study this week. our last lesson is tomorrow. I guess I know what I'll be doing all day!
Busy life -- normal life. What a blessing
