We've been watching some episodes of Grizzly Adams on YouTube. I love introducing my dd to old shows that I grew up watching. We just finished watching The Storm episode. It's as close to a Christmas one as they had. :holly1:

Perky is in our prayers. Wise choice to invest in the cruise I insurance going forward. Let's not talk about "Thatcher" as we're there too. :wink: To quote Rudolph "it doesn't feel very Christmasy!"

Well it has been a quiet MLK day. After volunteering to cover for another nurse after church yesterday my DH took the family out for the day. So many events to teach them about MLK. I slept all day. :oops: Santa probably put me on the Christmas naughty list for that one.

When you need your rest, you need your rest. Christmas and other holidays are great for catching up on sleep.

I feel the same way with my kids and the shows I watched growing up. I received a late Christmas surprise while playing a game with my youngest daughter and finding out that she actually knows who Woody Woodpecker is.

Perky had a late meeting and I was in bed and ready for sleep at 8 a.m. The spring term is no Christmas fun! Got word yesterday that our international applicants are more than doubled from last year and evaluations start soon! Christmas fun fun fun. :rudolph1:

Thanks for the prayers for Perky on Friday. It is a relatively routine thing these days but I am nervous about being the one responsible for getting him home. It is at these times that I am reminded we have not secondary support. I will take my mp3 and mp4 which are still loaded with Christmas music for the 3-4 hour wait.

It is a joy to pray for you & Perky. I know what it's like to not have secondary support. You are Perky's rock & will do just fine. Listening to Christmas tunes always encourages us. :D

Where does the time go? Christmas was almost a month ago and I feel like I'm still trying to get into the swing of things. Sometimes it feels like life is passing me by.
