January 2

Today is my sister's 47th birthday. My baby sister. Wow. Where on earth has the time gone? I remember when my mom was the age I am now we were planning my March wedding. It was 1984. None of the 5 of my kids is even seriously dating and heading in that direction yet.

Today I have the house to myself. That is a rare occurance. Larry had to work today as it wasn't a holiday for him. Katie & Kelsey are on their way to Colorado for the Life Impact conference, Daniel is house sitting if he's not working, and DJ has school. With Katie and Kelsey both in Kelsey's car, Katie let DJ borrow his while he's gone. So all week it will be fairly quiet with just Larry, DJ, and me in the evenings. I have plans Tuesday and Wed nights, but hope I can get a lot done today and Thursday night. The girls may be back late late Friday night or early Sat.

It's been a busy weekend: Friday worked, Saturday ran errands and got ready for the NYE party, late night, church yesterday and then out for lunch and got girls off and then Jonathan H's college graduation party that was quite lengthy.

Got home around 8 or so and put away Christmas stuff: it still needs to go up in the attic, however. So today I slept in until 9 and then started laundry. Lots of laundry. And cooked some chicken in Larry's new grill for lunch. I had a half grapefruit for breakfast and a tomato and chicken for lunch. Delish. I started working on downloading some bank statements to print out for work, and got out some scrapbooking stuff. I'm working on DJ's swim scrapbooks. Then planned where we're meeting to see Dan and Mel one last time tomorrow night before they head back to Canada.

Tomorrow it's back to crazy work. It'll be super busy as it's end of the year time. All the extra payroll end of year stuff for Displays and AATS, and all the financials and end of the year accruals, etc. Plus adding budgets to all the companies, etc. I'm planning on working late every night I'm at Mocap this week. I can't work late at Displays usually as they leave around 5 and I don't want to be alone there and have to set the alarm. :(
