Trying to get back into the grove

We are slowly trying to get back in to our routine of things around here. But I have found myself taking a lot of naps this week and trying just to rest, that is code for being lazy!!! We had great Christmas, and I am glad that it is over. It is just so much work!! I think the kids got just about everything they wanted. More than they needed for sure!
Ryan and I finally took all of the christmas decorations down this week, which was considerably less than what we normally put up. So the house is back to normal and the kids are back to school. I start back on the 19th of Jan, I could use another couple of weeks off from school, but when the college made out their schedule for the year, they didn't ask me for my opinion. I did finish strong for the fall semester. I ended up with about a 3.1 GPA, which isn't bad for being out for about 10 years, but I would have liked to have done a little better. That is my goal for the spring semester. I am really looking forward to some of my classes. I am taking an Abnormal Psychology and I am really looking forward to that one. I have all of my books, so I am ready for the most part. I also bought a voice recorder so that I can record all of my lectures, so I can listen to them more than once.
Summer will be here before we know it, I am ready for some warmer temps!! I am looking forward to going to the pool everyday and getting some sun on these white legs! hahahahaha
Ryan, the kids and I went up to my cousins house this past weekend to make some sausage, and I can say that it was an experience. It is something that none of us had ever done before. I thought that it would be totally gross but it wasn't and the sausage turned out really well. We ended up with about 40lbs for our family, but we only bought a half of a hog. So we have plenty. We ended up buying a small deep freezer, we had been wanting one for a while, so this gave us a good excuse to get it.
Ryan is working a lot of course. It seems like the overtime is not slowing down a bit at his work. So even though it is nice having him home, we can't complain. Since some don't have a job at all.
That is about all that is going on around here. Thanks for stopping by!!
