My last post was depressing. Sorry. If not depressing, it was at least not encouraging. Let's not repeat that.
It's the holiday season again. Happy Halloweeen! And in a month, I will say Happy Thanksgiving... and a month from then I will say Merry Christmas. So I will get them all out of the way now-- HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I don't really feel it yet. I'm trying to. It's been a long year. And I'm not sure if I'm really ready for the holidays without the rest of my family being here. Agh! This is supposed to be NOT gloomy.
Good things:
- It's been cold, which means we've had fire in the fireplace! Yay! I kept it going all day yesterday, and it was wonderful and cozy. Yesterday was a good day.
- The kids have done several fall crafts in the past few weeks and have been coloring like mad. I like that.
- It's almost time to start listening to Sufjan Stevens' Christmas box set! (ok, ok... I already have once... or twice...)
- The kids and I carved a funny pumpkin last night. Elsie picked the eyes, Marlene the nose, Judah the mouth, and I carved it and added ears. Amos got to watch and make loud noises. The kids took out a blanket and sat in the front yard to watch as I put candles inside. Then I roasted the seeds after they went to sleep -- Yum.
Alright, well this was maybe at least a little redeeming from last time. Either way, the kids are awake now so it's time to go.
