It's been almost 5 months...

Holy cow...how does that happen.  I was just sitting here reading blogs and realized how much I miss writing.  I miss mind dumping everything here every once in a while.  So without further ado...here are 10 random things about life right now.

1.  Weather has been crazy lately...no real fall this year...which sucks for me...since that is my favorite season.  Last week only about half the leaves were down when it snowed.  Holy smokes...snow...not ready yet.

2.  Have the itch to clean everything...we are talking wash all decor and curtains and blankets and woodwork. Need to embrace it and everything can be clean before the holidays.

3.  Still struggling with the whole work thing.  I am really missing Eric and his level head.  I'm ready for Jack to go.  I am finding myself not caring more and more and I hate that. 

4.  Basketball is about to start.  My boy needs to step it up this year...more kids act like they want it more than he does.  He may be a good shot, but if he doesn't show the coaches that he wants it he probably won't play. 

5.  I'm almost done Christmas shopping for my kids.  November 18th baby...mark it down....and I stuck to my budget for them this year.  Another feat for me.

6.  Not getting enough alone time...I wish we were rich and we had a little weekend getaway that I could sneak down to.  A book and some music and no one else.  Freaking heaven.

7.  Haven't had a routine at home lately.  Stepping back and letting others take over the stuff that drives me crazy.  I don't know if it's working but I am less stressed.  Whatever it takes.

8.  I don't really want anything for Christmas this year.  Oh, I'll take a level head and some will power but that's not easily found....

9.  Trying not to think about my weight for once in my life. I do better when I feel my pants getting tighter--I lay off the junk until I can breathe again.  I still binge though--donuts anyone?  I'm doing better though and not going to worry about it for a little bit longer. 

10.  I want to paint our whole living area and hallways.  But I want to go lighter and can't find the right shade of gold. It will be a slight change but lately I've found my style and just need to tweak things here and there.  Can you say the same comforter for the last 6 years????  It's a miracle--problem is that it is about worn out and I can't part with it because I love the look.
