Is it Christmas Break yet? In honor of a dear co-worker from back home, I am starting my Christmas Break Countdown. As of today, I have thirty days left of school until it's Christmas Break. Those thirty days cannot come quick enough. I am beginning to lose my patience with the kids - which is usually a sign that it's time for the break. I love them (well most of them) to death, but I need a break!!!! This week was a short week, which means they were wild. Next week we have another holiday, so that means they will be crazy again next week. Then it's three normal weeks until we have yet another short week. And then a week and a half of school. And then I will be on a plane heading home! Yipee!!!! Each day I get more and more excited about coming home. Tonight I was texting mom through this new application for smartphones, and she mentioned going to Target. I cannot wait to go to Target! I am already trying to do a mental packing list in my head - what to bring back home and leave and what to bring back with me. This is the hard part! The good thing (or sad, depending on which way you look at it) is that I have no need to bring any clothes home with me because I have plenty sitting in my closets. And shoes. Still, I'm sure I am going to be finding it hard to pack, but harder to pack when I'm returning.
I have also decided that I am going to be in a food coma come December 27th. On Christmas Eve, we are going to Mimi's and she is cooking a huge meal. Then on the 25th, Mom is cooking breakfast like she always does and I have requested for her to cook an extra recipe of her Hashbrown Casserole just for me. And on the 26th, we are going to Cincinnati to see Dad's side of the family and it's going to be filled with more food. This is going to be bad. Really bad. I'm going to need the stretchy pants with the elastic :(
And oh my goodness, let's not even talk about all the eating I'm going to do in Italy. Pasta everyday. And gelato. I don't care if it's below zero degrees outside, I'm eating gelato everyday. Guess I need to stop eating now so I can prepare for the gluttony that will occur in December....

Prayer Request of the Day: Tomorrow, I am meeting with the other people from church who are on the planning team for our Thanksgiving event. Pray that it will be a success this year and that non-Christians will come and enjoy it!
