Hibbets' Happenings

Monday morning it was back to work! We got up and out pretty well, all things considered. David and I had pretty good days; the kids' days were both a little rough. The reports from both were that they were fussy. Jayden took a long nap and didn't want to wake up. Monday night we went out to WM to see David's parents and visit with them. We stayed up too late and got home late, but it was still really nice to go. And luckily, by Tuesday the kids both did pretty well at school. They both had much better days. All their days since have gone well, too. Jayden's been sleeping well now, so I think she may be adjusted back. So I guess it just takes about a week. Tuesday night we stayed at home; David went on to bed early. Wednesday night was church, and last night we had "Christmas" with Mom and Dad and Neill. It went really well. We had a nice supper (chicken and vegetables and salad) and a good time exchanging gifts. I was really tired when we got home, though, and crashed. Tonight we're doing Christmas with David's family and then tomorrow we're going down to Alex to have Christmas with my grandmother and sister/BIL. I'm looking forward to seeing them. So we've pretty much been in a whirlwind and have been able to get little accomplished since we've been home. We've been through our stack of mail but haven't done any of the things that require responses or action; if it weren't for David we'd have no laundry done (okay, I started one load, but I'm not sure that counts for anything); and I've got to update our checkbook; that hasn't been done since before we left. Boy, that's going to be a bear, I'm afraid. I'll be glad to get settled back in again. I guess it will take a few more weeks. The semester starts back up on Tuesday, so all that class preparation is on my mind, too. But the start of a new semester is always exciting, like the start of a new year -- it's a new beginning. Oh, and we start the health class over again on Sunday morning, this time in the auditorium class at church, so that should be a lot of fun. I'm excited about that. I think that catches us up. Now I just need to post the new pictures from Christmas last night, and I'll have new pictures after tonight and this weekend.
