Getting through January

Now that the holidays are over, the yearly challenge of getting through the longest month of the year has begun.... what to do? Luckily, I have discovered that my 1st grader thrives on a lot of school work, and have literally doubled his work load. So it has been a tiring first week of january, but it sure has gone by fast! Baby #4 is doing great, and mom is feeling the effects of this fourth pregnancy. I'm tired, joints hurt, but I'm doing great. I have piles of books I need to read, things to be gone through in my house and a baby to start nesting for. I have a feeling that it is going to be a great year.
