I will still enjoy my children.

Drox has been here 5 days, today being day 6,
and it is still fun to visit with him ;-}
Probably because I have had to share him with so many people :-Þ
jk Drox, jk
I was fine until I looked up his flight out tomorrow and realized I Have to be the one to take him to the airport - he leaves at 0715!!!
I'll be up early tomorrow!
Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my squirrels, never managed to schedule a video conference for Thanksgiving Day but we all talked to each other. I fly to WA this weekend for Drox to be ordained an Elder and then again on the 16th to spend "the holidays" with Aunt Sandy and Tiney and their respective friends/families.
Fly back here next year on the 3rd.
I chose dates based on Winter Break here and then surprised (shocked?) the WA people with how long I will be there, I really didn't think about it, just plugged in the dates believing that Jack Jack will co-operate and let her Mom enjoy the holidays and that Aunt Sandy will have plenty of projects lined up ;-}
Maybe Tiney will come up with a few herself - when Matey and I are available that is.
I have a couple of good library days due with that boy xoxoxox

I will actually be nervous about a talk in Sacrament meeting!

It was typed up and everything but I was still WAY nervous. It was fine, ElCid was conducting and announced that his mother in law would be the youth speaker, followed by the choir, followed by the High councilman. I had asked the bishop how long I had and he said if I was done by 20 til I would be fine, so at 17 til I closed my scriptures and summed things up, (I had given the first half of my talk) Means I have a perfectly fine talk on showing gratitude thru obedience to the commandments that I can file away for future use ;-} Amazingly the High councilman's talk was an extension of mine and made it seem as if the meeting had a theme, which it didn't, I chose my own topic. Too fun!
I was on time for the 0800 meeting, sang with the choir, stood in as a companion for one of the sister missionaries for an hour - during Relief Society and survived choir practice with Fred and George. Ddonn stayed home w JR who wasn't feeling well apparently. I left as they were all getting up so I am clueless as to the details but they both looked great when we got home.
I have an amazing room and when Drox gets here Tuesday evening he will help me post pictures ;-}
My Idaho grandchildren will be in town this week and I get to see them Wednesday! I am excited as it has been 5 months since they moved and while their mom is great at putting pictures on her blog, it will be wonderful to spend time with them.
Past bedtime and I am cutting out Matey's bathrobe tomorrow so I need to be Well Rested! Cutting out is my least favorite part of sewing ;-Þ
