Welcome to October!

This month is the time for soccer season sectionals, about to end our football season in the next month, leaves begin to turn colors, time to break out the sweatshirts and prep for the big holidays! This month also for us is birthday month!!

I know there is more but if I write any more down, I may start to panic today...
Off to rattle my boys and do some of the small tasks that I can do now..


I hope everyone has a great day!!

Happy 1st day of October! Boy, was it dark when we got up this morning! I don't like that! Yikes!

DS is off to school, we did North American capitals as he ate. Luckily, GeoQuiz is 1st period, so maybe some of annoying, nagging Mom will still be in his head. LOL! Capitals are extra credit, but a word bank cost 7 points. To buy or not to buy, that is the question, so we shall see how it all goes down, take a couple days off and then start South America for November Quiz. Yes, that's right, the fun never ends around here!

Today:
Continued cleaning/decluttering (project up, up & away)
Look for flights & make Disney decision for next year (I am shocked by the prices I am seeing for next year. Not sure if that's me, it really jumped that much or just shock that little guy will need ticket and how much that adds. Maybe I've lost the magic, but I haven't been able to get excited enough to pull the trigger.)
Call cable to work out bill details I think are wrong.
Follow up on cars, service dept never returned my call. Annoying!
Halloween decorations pulled and placed.

Happy Tuesday!

PS~ Nan, I cant believe your son is already a SR! Seems like your DD just was!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yes, Rita.. it has only been 2 years...

PJ is off at college loving every moment... she is an Ambassador and gives tours to families and perspective students once a week and on hospitality weekends.. She does some private tours too for family friends! LOL She is also a mentor for a freshman and so far that freshman and her both have 4.0s!! She loves it there... It happens to be the same school that DS decided to attend once he went on a campus tour and get some one on one time with his sister down there. She totally sold the campus to him!!!

Thanks Lisa
It is just frustrating! Robert says he doesn't think the shutdown will last more than a few days. He's donating blood and running errands today. I think we might take a drive in the mountains tomorrow, unless he gets to go back to work.

Getting lots done so far this morning....

I second this, except for the getting lots done today. I took baby boy to Chuck E Cheese to play games. Apparently Tuesday morning is a GREAT time to visit since we were the only ones there, much less stressful! Positive thoughts sent to both of you ladies!
