A week before Christmas

I can't believe Christmas is in just one week.  I can't believe Catherine has finished the first semester of her senior year of high school.  This is all true though.  This is our reality...and it's lovely.

Yesterday I only worked in the morning, and then I should be off until school begins again after the new year.  In fact, I'm not scheduled until Thursday of that week, so maybe I will be off for three full weeks!  Regardless, I know that I am off the rest of this week, and I'm so grateful. 

Catherine doesn't have finals so she is home with me as well.  The band has to perform for the elementary schools in town though, so she just left to head to the school.  The morning finals are almost done, so Thomas only has four of those left as well.  I am sitting in my quiet home with our trees and a candle lit, and the sense of peace I feel is one I can't even begin to describe.  I am NOT leaving my house today, and it's just a day to be cozy.  The kids have swim work out and practice later, and Andrew won't be home until mid-afternoon, but for me, it's a day of coziness at home!
