Outside My Window... it is dark already...can't believe how early it gets dark now...Fall will soon be here - even though we are having such amazing weather, the signs are definitely starting to show - leaves are beginning to fall and trees are starting to change colour. Summer has been fabulous - we have really made the most of every moment and for that I am so grateful :) It helps to accept that Fall is coming and instead of feeling too sad about Summer ending, I am looking forward to it and all that it brings :)
I am thinking...about tomorrow - it is another busy day for us. French club starts - with a planning meeting at the library for three hours!!!! Abigail and Sam are looking forward to three hours of games and snacks with their friends while us Moms plan the Semester's work/ activities for French club. After that, Susannah has her hair appt with Amber. Then I have my very important date....gulp :)
I am thankful for...the holiday we have just returned from. We really did have such a fantastic time - we did so much as well as had some lazy/ relaxing times at the hotel and pool - and some fabulous walks with Rosie too! It was just the perfect holiday :) Those of you on my Facebook can see all the pictures in my folders there :)
From the kitchen...We have been so busy since returning from Canmore that we haven't even had a chance to go grocery shopping yet! I am hoping Friday we can! It seems that our days are just endless non stop GO!! I will be glad for school to start just for life to slow down a bit!! Although I'm not sure it is going to as our homeschool schedule seems to be filling up - at least at the beginning of September with NOT-back to school celebrations and activities, field trips and classes starting. Now I have started the local homeschool group and have so many members already I am feeling so positive about the new school year :)
I am wearing...capri's, tshirt.....
I am creating...journals, canvases ready to sell - unfortunately Lloyd changed his schedule YET AGAIN, which meant I had to cancel my craft sale over labour day weekend. It's so frustrating and he doesn't even apologise or show any consideration for my life at all. I wouldn't mind if he would just say 'I'm sorry this effects your plans' once in a while' .....but he's so self centred he just doesn't even think that what I do matters. But the craft show didn't just involve me. He doesn't get that. Anyway, I'm not going to hold on to anger or frustration...let it go...let it go Jane.....blow it away...lol! :) So yes, I'm still creating various craft items to sell on art stall - and I'm planning to do the farmers market through the Fall/ Winter with a friend. Depends on my work schedule I guess. If I can't do Thursday nights then I'm going to have set up an Etsy account instead and hope for the best with that and do craft sales over Christmas as well.....build up my stock as I am for that....but Im hoping if I can get Thursday nights off of work then I can do the farmers market.
I am going...to the Rodeo this weekend with the kids :) yay!! I'm also taking them to the outside movie at the park :) A fun way to end the Summer :)
I am reading...'Driftwood Lane - a Nantucket Love story' by Denise Hunter. It's a typically Summer novel....not much focus needed, I'm totally in love with Jake, the male character with his sexy jawline and woodsy scent lmao! And I want to run off and live on Nantucket :)
I am hoping...to cash in that raincheck a certain someone gave me the other day :) No names mentioned. *blush*
I am hearing... nothing. The air conditioning just switched off. The house is silent. All I can hear is my fingers on the keys of my laptop.
Around the house...sooooo much needs doing - it is an absolute MESS and a complete PIT!! Like the grocery shopping I haven't had a chance to do any housework/ chores either! Luckily I am up to date on laundry but nothing else....I need a good couple of days at home with nothing to do - maybe some rainy cool days - that would be good! Don't see that in the future though....sigh....
One of my favorite things...simple Summer romance novels that don't need much intelligence to read them - I don't mean Harlequin type books, but chick lit type beach novels....I read one every Summer :) A guilty pleasure :)
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...french club, Susie appt with Amber tomorrow, my meeting with a certain someone somewhere tomorrow :) the rodeo on Sunday, the outdoor movie on Saturday, grocery shopping.....
