Monday Musings

As another week starts these are the things currently on my mind.

1) I am all messed up and keep thinking that Thanksgiving is this week. I was very sad to realize that I have another week before my 4 day weekend.

2) At the same time I am amazed that Thanksgiving is here. I really need to get ready for Christmas so I (hopefully) am not scrambling at the last minute.

3) I have gone back to sticking my head in the sand over the state of our country after the election. I just can not deal with this crap it is not good for my mental health.

Here are the pictures for the week.

Bowling fun for a friend's birthday.

I am going to be honest that I am really struggling to come up with things to be thankful for this week. The results of the election have just broken my heart and spirit. If you feel the same please know that you are not alone and that good will always triumph over evil - it may hurt like hell for awhile but it will. And if you're happy about the results you can take your hateful ass elsewhere. But here are the things I can think of to be thankful for right now.

1) Even though I hate the result at least the election is over which means no more political ads on my TV or flyers in my mailbox.

2) That after quite a few unexpected expenses this past month we were able to scrape together  rent for November.

3) That I have a wonderful husband and 2 terrific sons who make everything worth while.

As the first week of November begins here are the things currently on my mind.

1) I dropped our absentee ballots off this morning. I am just hoping that this goes the right way. I am scared of what will happen if Trump is reelected.

2) The boys are off school today and tomorrow. Preston is trying his best but he is really driving me crazy.

3) It is the 2nd day and I am already tired of this time change. it is 4:45pm right now and it is pretty much dark outside already.

Here are the pictures for the last couple of weeks (there are a lot).

They support him against their best interests. That is the definition of a cult mentality.

But he's not tired.

A boy and his jack-o-lantern.

It was Preston's weekend with the class "pet" Hugs the Hedgehog.

As the last full week of October comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for. 

1) That I am extremely close to getting my grade in my class up to an A-.

2) That this is the last week of this class.

3) That I am getting some things decluttered around here.
