november was hard.

I apologize for my lack of presence around here, November was a hard month.

In addition to working 55+ hours a week at my clinical site and James Avery, 2 of my grandparents passed away within 3 weeks of each other.

I lost my paternal great-grandmother (Grandma VoVo) the first week of the month...4 days after her 102nd birthday.

Then last week, my maternal grandfather (Papa) lost his lengthy battle with Parkinson's.

Needless to say, it was a month full of little sleep, lots of kids, silver jewelry, and funerals. Also needless to say, I am ready for December to kick start my severely lacking Christmas cheer.

But on the bright side of things, there is only 2 school days left until a glorious 5 week vacation, 12 days until Trace comes home and only 1 month until SKI TRIP 2010!!!
