Hello, Again!

So, I have been offline for awhile.  Sorry!  I have missed blogging and sharing my musings about my monkeys with everyone, but I just have not had the attitude, energy, or time to keep up.  But I am stopping to smell the proverbial roses and do something that I enjoy for 5 minutes.
Deep breath in...Great big sigh of relief out...
There, I feel better.
So, Halloween and birthdays were great.  Stevie is fully potty trained with a few accidents now and then.  Jack has been an angel since a terrifying visit in the Principal's office and he is begging to read-sight word recognition is amazing! And Nicholas is getting ready for his BIG birthday on the 26th!  I can hardly believe it.  He took 6 unassisted steps this morning-enough for me to say he's a walker!
Jim and I also decided to set aside some us time time this next year.  We realize that we hardly ever spend time together-can you imagine why-so for our 10th anniversary, we are going on a 9 day southern Caribbean cruise at the end of May. We are so excited we want to pee our pants!  What are we going to do for 9 whole days without 3 Little men?  What are we going to TALK about?  I can't imagine yet, but I can hardly wait either!
I have completed 2 classes for my master's degree and I have just begun my third!  Before I know it, next September will be here and I will graduate!  I just have to keep my eye on the prize!

If I don't see you sooner, have Happy Holiday Season!
