Do I really want to do a resolution this year?

It is the last day of 2008. Where did the time go?

The weather is ok. I think we are going to be in the upper 20's to low 30's over the next 7 days with no real snowfall in the forecast.

Not much on the agenda for today. I will work most of the day but will probably knock off a little early. I have accomplished everything I needed to get done over the break so I am hoping today is an easy day.

Jess is going to a New Years Eve party tonight but her basketball coach has scheduled practice for 7 am tomorrow. He is worried about them drinking but of the girls on the team, one of them is the principal's daughter, one is the athletic director's, on is the valedictorian of the senior class and she never even goes out, one is home schooled and her parents barely let her leave the house, and then there is Jess. I don't think he has too much to worry about.

I do think it is funny that they have practice that early and can't wait to wake Jess up tomorrow. She will be a complaining machine...lol

Drew is having his birthday party here tonight. He always has his birthday party on New Years Eve. There will be 7 boys here tonight. Pray for me.

Visitation for Nancy's mom is Thursday night and the funeral is Friday morning. I plan on taking Friday off and going to the funeral.

I hope everyone has a safe New Years Eve. Goodbye 2008.

Kind of blah!

The weather is ok. Not too cold but not that warm either. Kind of just a normal winter day.

The funeral for Nancy's mom is Friday. It is a rough way to start a new year.

Work has been a bit dull. I have been keeping busy but there isn't anyone around and with Nancy being gone it is a quiet place.

I did have a lot of calls yesterday but nothing too serious is going on at the school.

The kids have been busy this week already. Jess is hardly ever home anymore. She had practice in the morning and there is a group of kids that hang out together. They just go to someone's house and play cards or watch movies and hang out.

Drew stayed overnight at Dawn's parents house Sunday night, his cousins were over so he stayed to play with them. He stayed overnight at a friends house last night.

Both kids have basketball practice every day this week so at least they are getting some exercise.

I took video of the kids and me racking the yard and burning leaves this fall. I put the little clips all together on a video and I need to burn it to DVD. It is pretty comical and it will be good to look back on.

I really need to take more video. It isn't that hard and being able to burn it to DVD really will keep it safe for a long time. The days are slipping by and pretty soon it will occur to me that I have missed my chance.

Speaking of that, Jess reminded me the other day that she only has one more Christmas that she will be living at home. UGH!

Ok, I am heading out for the day.

Passing

Nancy's mom passed away at 6:30 last night. Nancy said she went peacefully and it is good that she is now at peace. She had her sisters and family around her as she passed. I am sure she felt endless love as she drifted away.

It is hard to think of things to say at times like this but it is something that I am sure is very emotionally draining.

I think the funeral is Wednesday.
