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.
