Things are perking up around here, I think we all just needed a little down time this weekend. Although, it really wasn't down time. We decided to get a bigger entertainment center and rearrange all of our furniture. I am kind of a neat freak on Sundays, and I like the house to be spotless and ready for the week on Sunday night. Well, I had to let that go because it just wasn't in the cards. We eventually figured out a way to arrange the furniture, and by the time I could clean, it was time for my Sunday Night TV (the only night of the week I watch any TV these days). So, I guess I'll get it done some other day.
Halloween was great. I will post pictures tomorrow, I am not at my computer tonight to get my pics. Lilly was sooooo cute as Sleeping Beauty, and all of the pictures we took of her were just so "gorgeous", since she made sure to have her most beautiful, princess-ey smile on for the camera. It was such a nice night, and since there was no school the next day, we went into Cold Spring and hit quite a few houses in town. Our kids should have enough candy to last them until they are 16!! The boys were all business on Halloween. I forgot how intense these "holidays" are for kids that age. I wouldn't say they were cute, at least not in the same way Lilly was, but it was cute to see how serious they were, and how cool they thought they were in their costumes.
We are so ready for November...even though the holidays are approaching, this month isn't nearly as busy as far as "extra" activities are concerned. We have our typical busy work schedules, but only one or two other commitments, which is so needed! I am actually keeping my eyes peeled for the weekend of the 15th and 16th of November in an attempt to keep our calendar clean. If my memory serves me correctly, this would be the first entire weekend since mid-September that there isn't something going on. Oh, what a break that could be!! I also took the 10th and 11th off of work because our daycare is closed. I am soooo looking forward to that. I really miss my days off, now that I am working 5 days. It will be a good chance to catch up on my "good mommy" time with the kids.
I will say, though, my extra day of work has taken on a new dimension. I am moving into more marketing for our company, and have blocked the entire afternoon on Mondays to devote to marketing. The beauty of that is that I can do much of that work from home. So, I have been coming home at noon on Mondays, which has been great! I usually spend most of the afternoon on work, but I can fold a load of laundry, eat lunch with Lilly, and give her a nap at home. If I have other commitments those afternoons, I can work anytime, which is so great. As a therapist, our options for a flexible work schedule or a telecommute are slim, so this is a great fit for me.
Well, enough rambling...I can be a bit long-winded at times! I'd better get to bed and enjoy that extra hour of sleep before my body adjusts to the new schedule:-)
