Monday Musings

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.

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

Three on Thursday

 

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.

Currently I Am ...

A quick and dirty post for today.

Watching: American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez (I think they are doing a good job of explaining all of the f-ed up things he went through without excusing the horrible things he did.)

Reading: The High 5 Habit and Three Perfect Liars

Knitting: I haven't knit anything in over a week

Eating: Froot Loops for a snack and Chicken Parmesan for dinner

Drinking: Coke Zero and water

Feeling: a bit frazzled

Weather: beautiful - sunny and high 60s

Needing: for the week to be over

Thinking: that I need to get myself organized for the holidays because they will be here before we know it.

Enjoying: my before bed talks with Preston - he comes up with some pretty interesting things to talk about.

Three on Thursday

As this week comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for.

1) That I found Preston's winter gear and it seems like everything fits so I only have to get him a couple of pairs of mittens. 

2) That things in orthodontics has changed since I was a kid. I took Clark for a consult yesterday and they just took a scan of his mouth and a few pictures. Much easier than when I was a kid. And he will not have to have 2 years of metal mouth like I did.

3) That I only have 2 weeks of this horrible economics course left.

Monday Musings

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

1) I am a bit bummed but my streak of earning all As in my classes is coming to an end. I am currently taking an economics course and have a B. The teacher is horrible and does not provide any feedback on why he is marking you down or how to improve.

2) We have another busy week ahead. No school today for the boys, an orthodontic consult for Clark and a Halloween party at our community townhouse on Wednesday and trunk or treat at Preston's school on Friday.

3) I still need to go through Preston's winter gear. I do not want to get to our first snow without making sure these things still fit.

Here are the pictures for the week.


Gee I wonder what it could possible be.
The kids had a farmer's market at school. They were given play money and were able to "buy" some fruits and veggies.
Ready for Halloween.
Waiting for The Wild Robot to start.
Seriously what in the world is wrong with people?
Whatever fits their narrative.
It's Fun Run time!
The man's not wrong.
One cool dude.
