CATCHING UP

WOW!!
I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post!
I guess that says a lot about how busy things have been...or about how disorganized I am. I don't really have time to post this one either....but it's a good distraction from the other stuff I should be doing right now.

Well....Thanksgiving was a nice break (at least most of it was). From Thursday morning until Sunday morning I didn't do anything at all related to school! Of course, I'm paying for that now. But that's ok.....my family can't be at the bottom of my priorities list all the time! Holidays can be a good time to say "I don't care what happens Monday, I'm playing with my kid today."

By the way, if anyone is thinking about doing some holiday outlet mall shopping in Branson (like we did last Saturday), I have a suggestion: pretend you're going camping and bring enough food with you to last through the day...and get there early!!
Branson is a little town of (my estimate) less than 10,000 people, and that is pretty much what their streets are designed to handle. But my guess is that about 100,000 people visit Branson every day. And being patriotic Americans, they all bring their cars. The outlet malls don't really have any restaurants, and you'll spend more time driving from parking lot to parking lot than you will shopping. I don't consider any of this to be an exaggeration.

Not only that......but restaurants in Branson suck! The food is bland at best, and so is the service.

Well I thought I could at least finish this blog before I got called home, but guess what........

I'll try to post something else relatively soon.
