What books and/or magazines did I read this month? Art journaling magazine and a few magazines that Sharon gave to me.
What movies, television shows, plays, etc. did I watch this month? I took Sam to see Pirates of the Caribbean (was it #4??) at the cheap theatre...and I watched Bridesmaids again the day it was released on dvd :) I also started watching last years Greys Anatomy with Susannah on dvd with Susannah - one or two episodes a night :)
What fun things did I do with my family and/or friends? Sooooo many fun things :) You would have to check out my pictures on Facebook to see everything :) I did post about a few of the things here on my blog, but I don't post everything here as it's too open. September was yet another busy, fulfilling and very VERY fun month :)
What gifts did I give and/ or receive? I treated Laurence and Susannah to a concert at Rexall with their friends to see Maroon 5 and Train - as a BIG thank you for being there for me and for all their help over the last 18 months. They deserved it :) Lorraine gave me two bottles of the yummiest coffee syrups this week - vanilla and Tiramisu - which she tells me is also amazing in hot chocolate!! I got Abigail a treat this week because she was feeling so low from having to deal with having her meds doubled and it was a struggle for her all week. Cori gave Abigail a HUGE box of Littlest Pet Shop toys from her Daughter.
What special or unusual purchases did I make? I bought Laurence a coat but I was really surprised by his choice. It really suits him and is very stylish - I'm glad he picked one like it but I'm still surprised by his choice. I'm glad he's growing up with his own style rather than following the herd :)
What illnesses or health concerns did I have? I don't remember being ill....maybe a migraine here or there but no major complaints this month - my focus this month has been on Abigail...
What were my accomplishments this month? I managed to get a lot of artwork done and am almost at the point I can set up the Etsy store. I think I am almost ready for November which is great :) I am really proud of how much my work is improving. I love that I am finding my own style. I applied for two jobs this month and although one didn't pan out, it looks as though I have at least one of them :) I think it will be much better to have several small jobs like this - my art, and the small part time jobs...rather than one main job - this way I can still homeschool and have the children with me and it benefits them too :)
What were my disappointments this month? Allowing toxic people to affect my progress and the person I am....the person I am becoming. Not being able to afford to fix the childrens bathroom for them. I know they find this frustrating.
Anything else noteworthy to include? September went so fast! We had some amazing weather - the trees changed from green to gold and are now almost bare. We had some amazing fields trips and started some fun classes. We met some new friends and have already had our facilitators meeting for the year! I started, AND COMPLETED, Shimelle's 'Learn Something New Every Day' class.....and am pleased to have the finished album :)
It was a good month :)
