Why

Am I awake at 6:40a? Who knows, but I'll be tired by noon.

I got "the letter people" yesterday(from eBay). I was so excited. I don't know if any of you remember them but they came out in the late 70's for school and then PBS started airing it a few years later. Little J is on TV restriction so all we did was listen to the music CD.

I took him to the beach after karate yesterday and he had fun rolling around in the water. I didn't wear my suit so he stayed close to shore. Even still the waves were crashing and my pants were soaked to the knee,.







We're going to Michaels today. I finally found a chair for J's desk. AC Moore has a 50% off coupon for today only and they (m) accept competitor's. Then we will head to Home Depot for some paint.

And they're off

The boys are off to see the Jagaurs / Cowboys game. Little J is SO excited to get to go to a football game. Big J is SO excited to see the cowboys. They are both decked out in Cowboys gear and on their way to the stadium.

I am looking forward to the quiet time and have some sewing planned. I am working on a bag for a friend and I want to get Little J's curtains finished.

I splurged on myself and bought the new Dixie Chicks cd. I have only listened to the first track but so far so good. I am heading over to Joann's now. I need to pick up a few things that I forgot yesterday.

Here's something to curb the blues

I am going through all our closets getting rid of clothes, shoes and purses that I no longer wear/use. I pulled a size 14 denim skirt out of the pile that I know for a fact I couldn't fit any longer and tried it on. IT FIT! First miracle was that I went from an 18 to a 16 pant. Now I can fit the 14 skirt. Fabulous. I can't say it's anything more then the skirt is stretch denim because I currently have on an 18 that is not big at all. But to say something in my closet is a 14. Sweet Jesus, what a day!

It's officially "that time of year"

When I become bitter and depressed. The beginning of the end of summer. Autumn is my favorite season and I will miss it again. It's not something I can get used to. I need the coolness, the smell. I need the county fair and Yankee Peddler. I try to mimic it in my own home, but even seasonal decorations don't help. It's hard to pretend when it's still broiling outside. It's even harder to get up north now that little J is in real school. I swear if I have to spend the rest of my life in Florida I may wither and die...........
