Here we go again!

We are now eight days into the new year and the only thing that has really changed is the date on the calendar! I am looking forward to a much needed escape to Malaysia beginning February 1st, but I have also put in for a promotion at work. If I get that promotion I will NOT be able to travel! I have applied for many promotions, but never got one. Wouldn't it be ironic to get this one? Still, I would like to have it. We'll have to wait and see! Tina will be gone for 3 months this time around! It already seems like an eternity!! Mom begins chemotherapy next month; that's gonna be a heavy weight around here! Somehow, we will make it to day 9, then 10, then 11....
