Monday Musings

As this last week of October begins these are the things currently on my mind.

1) I am so ready to have this election over already. We get 5 or so flyers everyday in our mailbox. Plus here in Michigan we have a pretty contentious Senate race and I am getting very sick of the hatred and Islamophobia that is being spread by certain individuals.

2) Preston keeps complaining about being sick and not wanting to go to school or wanting to come home early. It is getting really concerning and I am hoping once we get his diagnosis and treatment plan things will change.

3) Speaking of the election I cannot believe that Clark is eligible to vote now. He says that he wants me to go with him so even though I have a lifetime absentee ballot I will go with him. 

Here are the pictures for the week.

Preston is all ready for Halloween. He is going as Fish Stick from Fortnite.

Hanging out downtown with Daddy.

I saw this mama and her baby one day when I got home from taking Preston to school.

Oh I can assure you that they are indeed that stupid.

Have the bestest weekend everyone!

Three on Thursday

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

1) That Preston had a good checkup at the dentist today.

2) That Preston has not brought home any work that he did not complete in class at all this week.

3) That we are in that nice time with the weather where we do not need ot have wither the AC or the heat on. 

Currently I Am ...

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

1) That we have been able to have Preston's ADHD evaluation completed so quickly.

2) That Clark's senior portrait came out very nice.

3) That after next week things will hopefully will be calming down and we won't have an appointment for one of us every other day.
