Hi All!
Christmas is upon us once again! This year has gone by so quickly, it is unbelievable. 2013, here we come! I hope all my readers, near and far (shout out to my European and Asian readers!), enjoy this blessed season, especially in light of the recent tragedies.
Well, that is if we make it to Christmas. There's still this issue of the Maya Apocalypse happening tomorrow. To tell you the truth, it makes for a funny joke. I like telling everybody "Merry Christmas.... assuming we make it to Christmas!" Then we laugh. But I don't think anything more of it. Remember Y2K? Yeah. I panicked then, but only because I was a kid. (Yes, I was a kid in 1999, but that's another story). I doubt the world will end. If it does, I will find it hard to remain Catholic.....
Anyway, I am thinking about starting my own business. I am good at administrative work, cleaning and cooking (not chef-level), and was thinking of offering my services as a personal assistant, housekeeper and/or cook for busy professionals and/or families. I could work from my home office, make my appointments, then do what I'm hired to do by whomever needs me whenever. I'm a housewife, so my schedule is flexible. I think it will be something to try.
But I am too distracted to type this out. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Assuming we make it that far. ;-)

On Schooling and Schedules
Hello Everyone! How are you all? I trust you are well?
We are well, thank you. Today, I implemented a schedule for my little one's home schooling. It is a simple schedule: each class is 30 minutes with a 10 minute break after every two classes. Before, the entire school day was completed in an hour or two, and while that worked at first, I felt my little one wasn't getting enough learning time. So now, we have an easy schedule that will give me more time to clean and allow for more school-related activities. And besides, keeping my little one scheduled will keep me scheduled, and that's a win-win in my plan book.
Since today was only the first day of this new schedule, we ended early, but the idea was established. See, some classes were every other day only, and that will finish this week. Beginning next week, all classes will be every day for four days, with the afternoon and day five left for catch up work. It will be nice to have most of my work done by lunch so I can use the afternoon to concentrate on cooking.
Speaking of which, I'm still recovering from Thanksgiving, and I'm already plotting for Christmas. I must be a glutton for punishment... or praise, since my cooking was an apparent hit. ;-) Well, I'm off to plan our meal for tonight. Write you all soon!
