Happy Birthday, Dear Sister!

I called my sis this evening, who was on her way out to dinner with her family for her big day.  Medicare, meet Shari.  Shari, meet Medicare!  Seriously, I wish I were there to help her celebrate.  Haven't seen her in almost a year...

It begins to look like little Robin is going to be taking her very first airplane flight.  Grandma Judy is going to Atlanta to visit her daughter and other two grandchildren, and Robin has been invited!  This is part of a plan to allow Meg and Nathan time to go to Florida with friends.  If they do go, Robin will go to Atlanta, and Ryan will come with me to Illinois.  I'm not sure I can entertain an active 3-year-old boy for a week, but I guess I will have to try, if everything happens.  He will miss his sister and his parents.  (So will I!)  He has cousins in Illinois that he can play with if we visit...but that won't be good for more than an evening.  The bigger challenge will be keeping him from crawling through the doggie door and keeping his hands off my sister's "pretties".  We'll see!  Truth be known, I am absolutely green with envy that I can't be there for Robbie's trip on the airplane.  What an experience for a 4-year-old!

I can't believe that another week is down and that we are only 1 1/2 weeks away from Christmas break.  I have been emailing parents fast and furiously, telling them about opportunities for bonus points for their kids' flagging grades.  Wonder if I will have any takers?

It's cold out tonight.  I start my car about 15 minutes early every morning, hoping that it will start.  Have I mentioned that I hate cold weather??  We had a light dusting of snow this morning--just enough to set rush hour in Indy on its ear.  Right now, it is about 12 degrees outside.  I am snug in my little bungalow, doing nothing to set myself up for the weekend.  Tomorrow night is Snack and Craft evening at the church.  I should go and work on a project...but am I ready?  Noooo...  I also haven't decorated the house for Christmas and am now wondering if it is even worth the effort.  The verdict is still out on that...

Paying bills tonight.  Now, that's depressing!  Bah!  Humbug!
