Honestly ever since last December happened, I have had way too much going on… I really don’t like it either.

I am hoping that Agnes and I are finally over this awful flu bug, and just in time to cover hospitality for this weekend’s Forensics Tournament at Thade’s school. I’ll be baking and cooking, and then hosting tomorrow, and all day Saturday too.

Next week is three day of of parent-teacher conferences, and I’m school sponsor for Agnes’ school on an upcoming class trip. Friday school is out, and then Spring Break begins.

After Spring Break, Dylan turns 13!!!! And poof, another month is done.

The kids are out of school today, and I could have slept in. I ended up being wide awake at 4:00 a.m., ugh. I’ve been washing laundry, and scheduling haircuts for the boys. We’ve been out to get donuts, and a run few other errands too. Agnes has a youth choir music program this evening, and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate. I’m so tired this afternoon, I’m about to fall asleep at my keyboard. Time to grab a cup of green tea, and see if it helps.

The weather has finally turned a bit cooler, and my seasonal affective disorder is easing up a little bit. September was one of the very busiest months, and I’m pleased that October is starting off at a bit of a slower pace.

This week I started tackling the upstairs hallway. The hallway had become a cluttered catch-all over the Summer, and there was never a good time to get to the task. I set my goal for the week of decluttering three contractor bags out of the house. So far I’ve filled two from the upstairs hallway, and it’s only Tuesday.

I’ve been doing a bit better keeping up around the house as well. I finally have a bit of energy back, and I’m tackling lots of odd neglected chores.

I wish I had something more exciting to report from my little neck of the woods, but it is nice having a few slow days too.

It’s been almost a month since the kids have returned to school. September has become one of our busiest months. There is too much to do, and remember, and I’m trying not to miss any of it. The weather is also just plain miserable. We still are seeing temperatures in the upper 90’s to 105, it is not helping my mood at all.

On a good note, the garden is still producing like crazy. I’ve been cooking and putting away produce to use throughout the next few months. I’ve pretty much been living in the kitchen, when I’m not in the car running kids, speaking of which, it is almost time to go again.

I’m hoping that October might calm down a little, and the cool weather will return.
