Are there really only 11 days til Christmas?!!!

I looked at my calendar this morning, and immediately my heart started to pound....11 days until Christmas? Seriously? And let me say, it is not because I am not done with my shopping...Which, honestly, I have not finished for everyone on my list. It is because it seems like 2 weeks ago we were in January! I know they always say that as you get older, time goes by quicker. But I never dreamed it would be THIS quick!
I have been kind of slacking in writing posts for my blog. Between work, school, and a 2 1/2 year old, my life has been chaotic to say the least. But, after much thought, I have decided to take the spring semester off so that I can, hopefully, regain some of my sanity. I'm not sure how much is actually left! Business finance, I admit, kicked my tail. I have never been much of a numbers person, but I learned a lot about my strengths, weaknesses, and abilities this semester. 
As for T, our little man is growing like a weed! Potty training has been a serious struggle...He was doing so great until it wasn't a "new" thing anymore. Granted he will go potty, but still not that regularly. I am hoping that this weekend we can just have a nice, chill weekend at the house and let him just be in a pull up and see how it goes...If you have any suggestions for stubborn boys, please let me know!!!!
