It's winter break from school!  Yay!  Next semester will suck, but then I get the summer off before trapsing to Eastern (something I don't want to even think about right now).

On December 12th, Tony's 14th birthday, I took him to a poetry slam.  It was fun.  My poem was about him, so he was naturally embarassed, but I think he liked hanging out with the 'college kids'.  They all assured him that when he was older he'd look back on his mom's poem and be fond of the memory.  All of the poems were great, save one woman that made us sit and listen to prose that went nowhere for about five minutes.  But there were a couple of pretty girls there for him to blush over, and he seemed to have a good time.

The kids had a great Christmas.  They got tons of stuff.  Wrapping paper and bows flew through the air, and we had a lovely Christmas feast.  Sadly, poor Brian had to prepare it because my back is so bad.  I'm back at the Chiropractor... at least I made it through the semester.  This time, once he gets me fixed up, he'll want to see me every two months to keep me managed.  It sucks, it hurts a -lot-, but enough about that.

We went to Billy's ECDD Christmas party and I was so caught up in the wonder of him.  He's come so far, and I do believe he -will- be ready for kindergarten next year!  His biggest problem was Jack's biggest problem... speech.  But with regular therapy, he'll one day come along to a point where Jack is now.  They're both doing great, amazing in school.

Anyway, gonna cut this short.  My back hurts and I need to lay down again.

Oh, I got A's again... 2 A-'s.  :)
