It takes big news to make me update my blog and this qualifies.  Nope...not the inauguration of Barack Obama, although that was certainly a historic moment.  One that Kirby sat and watched the entirety of. He even sat through the entire parade coverage.  He loves history and I know he's thrilled to watch it happening during his lifetime.

Nope...my big news is a little yellow sheet that Kyra brought home from school today.  She casually said something about being number one in her class, but sure that they made a mistake and someone had told her that other people had the same number on their sheet, blah, blah, blah.  I'm like...what are you talking about?  She said my class rank says 1 out of 643?  She goes on to say that it can't be right, they must have screwed up...blah blah blah.  Now I'm looking for the numbers on the sheet when my mom who was sitting next to me rips it out of my hands! LOL!  Sure enough...my girl is ranked #1 in her freshmen class.  Wowzers.  Like my mom said...we knew she was smart, but THAT smart?  She works so hard for her grades, it's not something that she breezes through easy peasy.  So that makes it all the more rewarding!!

In other news I broke my toe on Jan 5th.  It's still giving me grief and I guess I'll have to go back in and have it looked at.  I think the toe is healing fine, but the ball of my foot is really painful, I'm guessing the kitchen bench may have crushed more than my toe!
