We’re off to a rough start… My oldest, “college-aged” child is quitting the school she was attending and moving back home… My middle child got tossed off a horse on 1-2-09 and broke her left arm about 2 inches above her elbow… My youngest isn’t doing anything too major but has a Dr. appointment on Friday… So, I get to miss 2 1/2 days of work on our first week back. The good news is: I still have a job, my husband still has a job, it’s only a broken arm, and hopefully the oldest will pull her ’stuff’ together and get a life plan going on here. Things will get better!

oh, no, Peggy. So sorry to hear about all your bad news. You are right though about putting it all in perspective. Having work to miss is definitely a good thing.

Our new year is off to a good start. I got a new car on Saturday and the kids went back to school and the hubby went back to work so my life is back to normal. Looking forward to lunch with a friend on Thursday, scrapbooking on Friday, Monster jam with the family this Saturday, and Bride Wars on Sunday with a bunch of girl friends and their daughters.

Have a safe trip, Sherra. I know this is not the right post but now you at least know I read it too!
