La dee da

My pulpit this weekend was great. I led a 15 minute Shabbat service, then we all adjourned downstairs for a Hanukkah party with menorah lighting, latkes, dinner food, songs, and dreidel. Jonathan has had the flu the past week though, and I got struck with it later that night. Suffice it to say it was a miserable early morning/night, and I had to cancel my Adult Ed in the morning. I had such a good lesson plan too! Anyway, it was a bad drive home. I was grateful to be out of the car and back in bed.

Other things? Xander can stand up on his own now. And he's no longer a wind-up toy, he can turn his push cart around and avoid obstacles with no problems. It's much less frustrating for all of us. We went to a party for his daycare last night, and it was adorable, all these toddlers running around... it was like, that could be you next month!

I have a Philosophy final tomorrow, then a Liturgy and Talmud paper due. My mom comes in Friday, so the goal is to be done by then. 'Course, when I finish that stuff then I have another 40 hour contract as a research assistant, so she may end up babysitting Xander more than she expects!

Happy Hanukkah, everyone.
