- It took one octagonal baby gate and two bar height chairs to keep our once was lost but now has been found pup in his designated area while we were gone this evening. (Did I mention he still has separation anxiety? Some things never change.)
- I bought spinach for the first time ever (well, for the first time on purpose) today at the store. Our diets in this household are getting ready to change. I'd be lying, though, if I said my husband didn't ask, "What do we do with that?" when I was unpacking it from the grocery sack. Ey yi yi.
- We are finally back home, after 10, may I hear it, yes, TEN, hours in the car yesterday. Many of those hours spent with a very cranky 17 month old whose nap was interrupted far too early from a certain 3 1/2 year old who decided he had to pee. Ahem. Glad to have that behind us.
- So - I spent $7, yes, friends, $7 on a pair of shoes for my beloved daughter. (Total sparkly, black Toms knock offs, I may add!) Said shoes were scheduled to arrive on the date of my departure to Illinois. Beloved husband doesn't believe in opening boxes that come to our home, so it was not until today that I realized that A.) Not only were the shoes shipped to the wrong address, but B.) They were deemed undeliverable, and C.) Supposedly have been shipped back to a large USPS warehouse for 'sorting'. They have been lost in transit for approximately three weeks. Yikes. I'm not sure the $7 is worth it. (But they were really cute shoes.)
- Speaking of shipments, I received the fall Scentsy scent samples today. Oh yum. You know, though I've entered to the world of "Everyone and Their Sister Sells Scentsy" when moving to Texas (and, thus, have found it difficult to build a consumer base), I love this stuff. It's a product I believe in and use daily!
- So I had the privilege of attending two, count them, two fun weddings in the past three weeks. Though drastically different, it's reminded me how great and wonderful and fun marriage has been to me. Sometimes you need a little refresher after seven years! It was fun reconnecting, with the hubs and old friends!
- As much as I love our new house and new lives in Texas (and I really do!) I was disastrously spoiled by temperature highs of 86 and 89 plus low humidity. Dear Jesus, do I miss a real fall? Yes, yes I do. It's give and take. Just a few more months...
- I start my new job co-teaching a two's preschool class in just a couple weeks. I'm so excited for this new chapter on several levels! I'm excited to be in the classroom. I'm also excited it's only two days a week. I'm excited that my kids get to be a part of the preschool, in their respective classes. I'm praying it's a blessing for all four of us, the husband included!
- I have two more Nicholas Sparks books until I've read him dry. I'm not sure how to feel about this. A part of me rejoices because I may actually use the spare time I was using to read to exercise (boy, that needs to happen) or finish my own book that I started, but I'm sure I'll just peruse aimlessly until I find something else intriguing.
Well, that's enough random for now. I promise as we get resettled (into our own house... finally) I'll have deeper, more meaningful thoughts to air, but today, you get scattered, as my brain is scattered ;)
