Today is my “little” brothers birthday. When we’re together, people always say, “your little brother?” as he’s taller than I am. Anyhow today is his day. Both of us, and dad, always were sort of cheated as our birthdays are all 10 days apart in December. Dad’s was the 9th, Tom’s today (the 19th) and mine is on the 29th. In any case, we wish him a great birthday. Not to get to personal, but Tom’s one of those really good guys. He’s honest, kind and cares about others and was always there for Mom and Dad, basically taking care of any need they might have had for decades. We should all be so lucky to have others say the same of us. While we’re all set in our ways and have our own lives, there’s not anything I can think of that he wouldn’t do for any of us. I’m proud to call him my brother.
Now back to the week. Jag’s two finals went pretty well, so he thinks. Today he has Algebra II/ Trig and English. These are pretty tough too but he seems at ease and prepared. He told Mom just now he didn’t sleep much. Hope they go well. All finals are in the gym at tables set up with large screens on each side of the individual desk so no one can see anyone’s work. The gym is also always cold so Jag wore a hoodie. He said he thinks they do that on purpose to help keep the kids awake.
Ty has a makeup test in science and then is pretty much done, except for one small quiz in another subject today. He’s done a good job in getting all his grades to B’s or higher. Science is currently at a C+ but after the test he plans on it raising to at least a B.
I have a meeting at the distributor at 10 this morning an appointment at 11:30 at the dermatologist and then at 12:30 to get a haircut. Then I should be headed up the hill just in time to get the boys. We need to fill out a Visa application for Jag to go to China and get it turned in. We went to get his pictures yesterday after school. It’s coming up fast as two months from yesterday, they’ll be home!
The cold weather is coming, and it’s going to be really cold, even for Colorado. In two days it’ll be at or below zero in Denver for the lows and in the teens for the highs. Up here, I think on Friday or Saturday, it’s supposed to be 15 or 20 below! Lori is supposed to go down and look at assisted living places with her Mom but they say snow is here Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It’s fine to drive in the cold but if the pass is closed, nothing you can do about that. In any case, we need the snow and are glad it’s coming. Both boys and I love the cold too, Lori, not so much, ha. I did buy her an early Christmas present at Costco yesterday, an electric blanket! She loves it and is snuggled in bed fast asleep.
Time to get moving, I did make it to Fed Ex yesterday so Robins box will arrive tomorrow and Tasha’s on Thursday. Be watching for them. We still have some shopping to do which means we’ll be one of those that will still be shopping on December 23rd. That’s it, have a great day and again, Happy Birthday Tom! God Bless you all.
