January Junk

So I waited to blog as I had nothing non depressive to say. Got back last weekend and both chris and I noted we didn't have that warm fuzzy feeling that usually happens when you get to your home after a vacation- we had a lukewarm timeshare not really our home feeling. Then I took down my christmas decorations which always depresses me anyway- especially since its freezing here. I did come home to a zillion cards of happy children/families on christmas cards- which made me smile. School started and at least both kids were excited to see their friends and get back to bday parties and afterschool activities. Bith chris and I are starting the headache of getting our drivers liscence in England. We have to drive to a place to have them examine our picture since we have no one that is from England that can vouch that they have known us for the last 2 years. Then we mail our passports in ( I HATE the idea of letting my passport out of my locked cabinet- this stems from all my conspiracy theories that float in my head)- Then 3 weeks later we can sit for the first of 3 tests- seriously folks with all this red tape I should have asked santa for a driver for christmas. At least some friends have promised me a blowout champagne party once I get that liscence in hand!
