happy new year to all!!!

Just want to wish everyone a great new year. hope all your holidays went well and everyone is healthy.

we had a wonderful Christmas. busy as usual but I wouldn't have it any other way.

we are still burried in snow. we made it thru the ice storm in Dec but then we had the 2 snow storms back to back on the following weekend and now we just went thru another wintery mix mess over the past few days.

the school district still isn't sure what they are going to do to have the kids make up the 9 days they lost of school. They are looking at taking 3 days from April vacation and 2 teacher workshop and then asking the state education board to waive the rest. The board has already said that they will waive all of them as the state of NH was declared a national disaster per the president (amazing something he did right). the school district just doesn't want to have the kids miss to much more of school as then the students will fall behind the national levels. And we have a great school district with amazing teachers.

I christmas gift I wasn't expecting is the little bundle of claws below. My wonderful husband has been feeling pretty guilty (for the past 3 years) about me giving up my long hair calico Ceasar when I moved in with him. he is allergic but he does good with Cleopatra who is short haired. So his mothers cats had a litter and he was able to get this little guy for me. He is a bit scitzo and nutty so he fits in with this family perfectly. The dogs and him have gone at is a couple of times but the dogs really aren't sure how to deal with him. Cleopatra is older and much more calm and doesn't bother with the dogs but Taz (yeah that is his name) wants to play and attack them. It is great fun to watch. Cleopatra still isn't sure about him but she is getting used to him slowly and i have even caught her playing with him a couple of times.

I am in search for a job and having one heck of a time finding one in my field. I may have to give in and go work retail for a while until one comes up. It is getting pretty frustrating.

well i wish everyone a healthy and safe 2009!!

Love to all
