• It was super hard for me to get out of bed this morning for me. Robby actually was out of the bed and on the treadmill before I did finally get out of bed. Now, please don't think I am a complete slacker this morning because I still managed to get everyone up and have my chores done before it was time to start school.
• The morning went by fairly quickly. Some folks were finished very quickly with their school work-almost too quickly. On Monday and Wednesdays I read with Campbell, Keaton and Whitman at 11 and read with the others at 8:30. I like this the best-it gets the lazy big kids up early while it gives Whitman plenty of time to to get most of his work finished before we read. However, Campbell and Keaton let me know that they do not like reading near lunch at all.
• Reagan went to work this afternoon while Graham headed to the orthodontist. When the his appointment was over, we all met back up at Defy. Campbell and Anderson had thought that they didn't want to go, but then they both changed their mind at the last minute.
• After an hour of jumping, we brought our sweaty kids home. Actually, Anderson drove the mini van home-he does fine...just a little fast and a little too close to the car in front of him. However we survived and made it home-without me yelling!
• Tonight for supper, we all had leftovers. I had the best tomato soup-leftover from the other night. I must say that mine was probably the best of the leftovers even though there was almost a fist fight over the leftover manicotti (not really, but realy)
• I had just sat down reading my book when Robby told me that I needed to be watching my evening Christmas movie since the basketball game is about to come on. So I am currently trying to speed through my movie so the tv can be free for the basketball game. 
• And I have already had my spiced tea drink earlier today when it was cold in the house, so I am not too sure if I will have my hot chocolate tonight or hold out for ice cream.
