January - The First Half

• Had a nice New Year's Eve.  We started out planning a quiet night with just the two of us.  Daughter and Boyfriend decided to come over to play games.  Cousin and Wife decided to come also.  Ended up having a spur-of-the-moment game night party.  It was really fun and we ended up staying up till 3 a.m. 
• Back to school on the 3rd.  Also Granddaughter's 6th birthday.  So sad that she is so far away and I can't see her on her birthday. 
• Home sick on the 5th.  Stomach flu that is going around.
• 50th Anniversary party for cousins of mine.  Took my mom.  We had a nice lunch before and enjoyed the party.
• New kids scheduled to start on the 11th.  Everything prepared and ready for their arrival.
• Snow Day on the 11th.
• Snow Day on the 12th.  Also my Mom's birthday.
• Back to school on the 13th.  New and old kids ready to be back to school.  Parents ready to drop them off for a few hours.  It was a good day and all of the new kids were happy to be with us.
• Off to my Mom's on the 15th to celebrate her birthday a few days late.  I was having a very grouchy day and couldn't figure out why until the cold symptoms started appearing.  Ended up feeling very sick before the day was over.  Spent the night at Son's house and slept most of the morning on Sunday. 
• Feeling better today (17th).  Glad it is a school holiday so I can be back to normal by tomorrow.
• Have finished reading The Cinderella Pact by Sarah Strohmeyer and Bad Girl Creek by Jo-ann Mapson.
