I'm Back!

So it appears that I've still got a few readers so I will keep on blogging away! Thanks for hanging in there! It's been CRAZY-busy around here the last month!

My friend, Maria, and her little handsome boy, Jordan, from M came to visit us yesterday. We hadn't seen each other since June so we had A LOT of catching up to do. It was so GREAT to see them and visit. I'm already looking forward to our next get together. Jordan turns one on Saturday so Maria is throwing a BIG birthday party at a hotel in SF so the kids and I will be heading there for the weekend.

I have finally given into the fact that fall is here. So I went shopping yesterday for fall decor for our home and my office. I think I did pretty good! We have a craft store here in town and they have SO MUCH fall decor it's almost ridiculous! Plus it was all 30% off!! HELLO!!! I was in the store for an hour because I couldn't figure out what to buy and what I could do without. I'll have to take pictures and share them with you. I really enjoy decorating for holidays/seasons/events!! At my last two jobs, I was in charge of holiday decorations.

My co-worker had her baby today so after work my department went up to the hospital to visit. She is so adorable!! It almost makes me want to have another........but NO, there's no way in heck I'll be having another!

October 1st I will be going full-time at my current job. I'm excited yet I've really enjoyed working part-time and I'm going to miss that. Since school has started I've been working four days/week from 8:30 to 3:15. Now I'll be working five days/week from 8:00 to 5:00. However, two mornings a week I'll go in late so I can take the kids to school and Dean will take them the other three mornings. The kids are so excited about walking home from school. I don't know why. I'm sure this will change after they've done it for awhile or it starts getting cold. This is a HUGE step for me. I know I need to let them grow up but I feel like I should be there. On cold days, Dean, I, or Dean's parents will hopefully be able to pick them up.

I really, really don't like that fall is here because that means winter is right around the corner. And you know what that means??? SNOW!!! (Oh no, I can't believe I said the s-word.) People in my office have given up their short sleeve shirts and sandals but not me! NOPE! I'm still wearning short sleeves (yes, I'm freezing sometimes) and I'm still wearing sandals! Just try to take those away from me! I'm going to hold onto summer for as long as I can.

I am still wearing carpis. But I guess I don't leave the house during the day...

Good luck with the change in hours! Your kids will do fine!!!

I think I wear sandals until the day it snows.

Good luck with the hour change. I am sure the kids will like walking home because it is something they get to do themselves with no parents.
