M. Night Shyamalan

I'm really feeling like a good quality post is past due, but I have very little to post about. My most exciting news is that I accomplished my goal of purchasing Halloween costumes before the week of Halloween. I like to reach for the stars. It's funny because I have to meet with my assistant principal at some point in the next week and set a goal for myself, and I have no clue. I'm thinking something like, "My goal is to have a job and a clean house at the same time," but I doubt that's gonna fly. So, other than that, it's sort of the same old thing around here, which isn't a bad thing -- just not an exciting or new thing. I don't have time to sit on the internet all day and find YouTube videos and other such internet junk for your entertainment, unless it's forwarded to my e-mail. So, I guess that's it. Here's another picture of the kids from our trip to Gatlinburg. Aren't they pretty? Yeah, I've been a little neglectful on the picture taking lately, too.

Just Stuff

It seems like everyone is posting about fall. Up until today it's still been miserably hot around here (at least it has been at recess), but today was nice and breezy. It was one of those perfect days -- not too hot, not a cloud in the sky. Days like this make me as excited about recess as the kids. Halloween is coming soon, and my goal is to buy costumes before the week of Halloween this year (yes, I aim high with my goals). Andy is in Kansas right now hunting for bigger deer than we have here in Georgia, and every night when I talk to him he goes on and on about the sky. No mention of deer -- it's all about the stars. The night sky where Andy's dad lives is amazing compared to where we live because he's a little further into the country, but I guess it's still too close to Atlanta from what he's said. I'm ready for him to come home. Single parenthood is for the birds. When I wasn't working, I didn't like it, but it was tolerable. Now that I'm working, it's so hard, and I'm exhausted at the end of the day. It's reminded me to take my vitamins, though, so whatever works, right? This is a picture of the kids from our last-minute weekend get-away last weekend in Gatlinburg. It's the default vacation place for us -- far enough to get away but close enough for a quick weekend.
