A WEEK OFF

The kids have been off from school since Friday, December 19th. That was their last day of 2008. While it's wonderful to have them home and equally wonderful to have no homework, I think Perry Como had it right in the song "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas." Trust me, Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again!

:)

We've had a ton of fun during the break. We went to Maryland to see the family, and we've played umpteen games of Twister and Trouble. Today we're breaking out "UNO." I loved that game as a kid. I completely forget how to play it, but I'm sure it will come back to me.

I'm hoping today to get out on my bike to start getting some miles under my belt for 2009. I rode over 1,800 miles in 2008. I conked out around August. If I apply myself, I'm hoping to get over 2,500 miles in this year.

Time will tell...
