I don't usually post this late in the day but I have to get in here, because I'm a person who keeps promises.
So let's see...
Insanely busy at work.
So tired my eyes are bloodshot.
Waa waa waa.
I may have eaten my weight in candy corn today. Feeling fall festive, I filled a dish with candy corn and those adorable little pumpkins (see above) and put it on my desk at work "for people who come to my office." But really, who am I kidding?
I got some new shoes. I know, I know, can you get any more Mom? But trust me, you don't want to know what size shoe I wear nor the width. Truly this is as good as it gets for me, shoe-wise. And I got them in black, don't worry. Also? Twenty dollars off with a coupon that I found through Googling. Always, always Google for a coupon. Yes it's true I'm a Never-Pay-Full-Price-Girl.
Is anybody still awake?
The used DVD of "Beauty and the Beast" that I ordered for the kids arrived in the mail today. I'm pretty sure my little Belle-obsessed Ellie-Belle is going to hyperventilate when she realizes there is an entire Belle MOVIE. Love, love, love used Amazon. Some Pig: A Charlotte's Web Picture Book should arrive any day and I can't wait to see Leo's face.
Unexpected trip tonight to the airport to pick up Grandma because Erin was running late at work (Hi Grandma Jerry!).
Kids loved the little detour. Ellie shrieked as she pointed at all the "tall buildings in the big city" (Newark). I didn't have the heart to remind her there was a just slightly larger city right across the river. Bonus: we saw three different trains and plenty of airplanes landing. Kid heaven. I love how kids can make something as simple as a trip to the airport a thing of unbridled joy.
I have so many posts in my head, there is so much I want to cover and say during this month.
Also, questions. Are there any questions out there? About anything at all? Fire away.
I promise to be more exciting tomorrow. OK I probably shouldn't say that. I hope to be more exciting tomorrow.
