Back to the routine

Another Christmas has come and gone. I spent all of last week putting Christmas away and cleaning the house. It feels good to say I started the new year with a clean house, clean laundry all put away, dishes done, meals prepared and a pantry full of groceries. For one of the first times in a very long time I feel like I've started the new year on a positive, prepared note.  My students are returning this week...more about them soon. I'm looking forward to getting back to my routine. I like my routines, they keep me on track. 

I know I've said this before, but I'm really hoping to be able to blog more regularly again. It's good for me. Life has a tendency to become overwhelming at times and it's those times when I tend to disappear for a while. More often than not I have a blog in my head but when I finally get the chance to sit down to type it out it's gone or just not the same. Often I find I lose interest because so few are even reading what I write let alone letting me know they're here. Maybe this is the year I'll be able to get to know more bloggers. I hope so. 

We're under another lake effect snow warning today through Friday. They're saying we could get 1-2 feet of snow by Friday. It really doesn't seem to be putting down that much in snow depth, but the wind and the cold are bearable and makes for very poor visibility for drivers. I had planned to go practice today, but there is very little gas in my car and Hubby didn't fill it at lunch time. Between that and the snow and cold, I guess it's best I stay in and get caught up on my blog. 

I have much to catch you up on so I'll do that a little at a time. In the meantime...Happy New Year!
