You know those reports school teachers always ask their kids to do after some kind of "break," the ones where the kids tell what they did over break. Well, I'm fairly certain my kids will report that they watched entirely too much TV and ate entirely too many sweets while their mom sat at a computer all day. Our vacation last week put me a week behind at work. I've never understood the concept of using vacation time when you just have to work twice as hard when you get back to make up for it. Anyway, I'm feeling so guilty that other kids are busy making fun memories and mine are making, well, messes.
Luckily my friend Andrea posted the easiest Christmas treat on her blog, which I shamelessly copied! Ally pretty much did the whole pretzel, hug, M&M thing herself (I just put the tray in and out of the oven). So this year all our VT and HT families got treats thanks to her.
Andrew has also been crazy busy. He's been interviewing with publishing companies and probably going to return to the industry. He has interviews in Salt Lake (for Spokane positions, not Salt Lake positions) next week. I already told him he has to be home the second week of every month. I can't give up my book group!
If I can just get though this week, I'll try and be supermom next week. Until then, thank goodness for Dora!

You already are a SUPERMOM!! I do think those pretzel, hug, m&m things are a lifesaver!! I'm glad you clarified that Andrew was going to SLC for positions here in Spokane!!! I forbid you to move!! :)
I agree with Kristin, no moving from Spokane. We'd all be devastated. That's great the Andrew has a job interview. Kelly and I were just wondering today how you juggle being a mom and working so well. So just know that we are SO impressed with you.
How funny that you posted about your kids watching TV today and so did Lucy.
Those pretzel things are a lifesaver. I seriously think they have changed my life for the better. I found a new way to do them. Get the candy cane Hershey's kisses instead of the hugs. They are so good with the mint. I'll have to bring you some.
I've had my guilty feelings myself. At least you are being industrious and working. I just want to be left alone!
You are an amazing woman and the word slacker or anything close to it doesn't even enter the realm of Carolyn's world. The balance you seem to manage with working and PTG and primary and being a darn good parent never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work.
