Wait a sec, it's OCTOBER????

How in heck did October get here all ready?  I have no idea where the last, oh, FOUR months have gone?  I feel very out of touch with people.  I swear that if it wasn't for Facebook, I would have had no idea what is happening with anyone I know. 

The biggest time sucker for me has been a very exciting project at home.  We got new floors in most of our main floor.  We got rid of the awful stained beige carpet and ugly tile and now have a gorgeous wood laminate floor.   I have been taking pictures of the whole process that I need to go through before I post.  And I finish putting everything back, lol! 

Kids are doing well in school.  I like LOVE having them back in the routine of school.  Makes it so much easier for me to sleep during the day.  Fall is officially here and the cooler weather always makes it easier for me to sleep. 

Cole got her learner's permit.  Exciting and Scary.

David has been gone a lot lately.  It is exciting for him and frustrating at the same time.  He has been travelling back and forth to New York city.  He is helping with an install there.  None of these trips has been quick so I am getting a taste of what being a single parent is like.  I hate it.  I truly admire everyone who has to do this all the time.  I think I would lose my mind!  He is there right now.  He left Monday morning and we had hoped for him to come home on Saturday but now it looks like maybe next Friday instead.  Thankfully we can use SKYPE to see him every day. 

So busy is as busy does. 

But today I will be grateful that I have not been bored in 17 years.    Sound like a strange thing to be thankful for?  Maybe, but I am always glad that there is something to do, even if I sometimes miss boredom.
