Happy Thanksgiving!

The holiday season is finally upon us. I am so excited. This year, I get to actually enjoy the holiday season. This last Tuesday, I was able to present my thesis proposal to my committee. It is now ready to go to the Internal Review Board for approval. This is a major hurdle for me in my pursuit of a master's degree. What a pain it is to get this paper written. I have so much empathy for anyone tho does this and goes on to write a dissertation. I don't know if I have the stomach for it.

So it means that I don't have any major assignments or papers hanging over my head as we go into the celebration season. Yeah!!

We are a having a little family get together for Thanksgiving. Connor and Tori are having a difficult time adjusting to their mother and not the 10 other kids at daycare. I don't think they care for me as much as they do Shelly. So, I let Connor help make dinner preparations yesterday. I think he enjoyed it. Christian came home and brought his mint Oreo cookies. I know Connor enjoyed those. It has been a fun week. Remember when I said I wasn't sleeping? Well now, neither are the babies. They are both waking up at 5:00 a.m. Usually I can get them back to sleep, but not this morning. I think they are excited about the day and the thought of having more children to play with. Although, I don' know if Tori can handle any more boys playing with her like Connor does. He just likes to torment. We are trying to teach him to say he is sorry. He is good about saying it, but Tori doesn't always like to accept the apology. I better go for now. It is 6:30 and I have a house full of guest. However, both children are screaming to get up and I don't want to wake everyone. It is better that just a few of us can't sleep.
