Here is to the opening of my first blog. Thought it might be a good place to journal about my thoughts and experiences. The biggest things going on in my life are kinda boring but I imagine I will use this as a place to document blessings and complaints.
Had a pretty good weekend. Wanted to make a special dinner for my husband's b-day (was Friday) but really couldn't afford to do his favorite so we just kinda blew it off. We did get a chance to take the kids down to the Hillsdale fair. This is an annual ritual that we really enjoy. The fair always falls on my husband's birthday and he has celebrated his birthday there since he was a kid. The fair is a wonderful old fashioned rural tradition. Tractor pulls, farm animals, cheesy rides and fantastic neighbors. What could be more fun?
I got my homework done earlier than expected this week and although I have a heavy week next week decided to spend today doing something important to me. We have a huge bay window in our living room. One goal that I have had this summer was to get the stupid thing sanded down and repainted so that I don't have to go another year without curtains. I have a beautiful set but made a commitement to myself to not rehang them (after the remodel) until I got that stupid window done. My husband set me up with all sizes and tools for sanding so I didn't expect it to take so long. Problem is the stupid thing has details upon details. I only hope that I can finish before it is too cold to paint.
On top of regular homework I have to work on the survey for my thesis. My next chapter is due in less then two weeks. My job is running full bore with high expectations from management to pull rabbits out of the hat. And guess who drew the month of October for the Bunco club...
More on the planning for that event to come
