New Year's resolutions...

It has been forever, I know, but it took me a while to get the hang of working full time, parenting, and going to school all at once. Then, I was asked to make a Christmas present for a relative. I didn't mind doing it, but it was also very time consuming.
Now the holidays are over, the semester is over, and I have the hang of things now, at least I hope so, since I added a class this semester and I'll be taking 2 instead of three. Amongst my classes this semester is an Algebra class. A remedial Algebra class. I know, I know, but seriously, it's been 20 years. How many people do you know that still remember what they took in high school math? I never needed to use it, didn't practice it, so need to take it again. No total loss. I have 2 more math classes to take after this and I think I'd rather have a refresher before I go into them.
Christmas was fun. We got the kids a Wii. They like it, and my husband and I are also playing a bit of golf or tennis with it ourselves. My only beef with it is that I'm left handed, and while it does allow you to set it for lefties it seems to have some trouble reading the controller when it's in my left hand.
But I could just be so used to doing things right handed that I'm doing it wrong left handed.
But I digress. We had a ton of relatives here, of all ages, from grandparents to teenagers to a 3 year old. The house was packed, noisy, kids were running all over. It was great.
Vacation ends Monday the 4th, and my new semester begins the 21th. So, the kids get back into the grind and then I start a few weeks after. Into the new year we go!
