November 5th?

Really?

Somehow this fall has been racing by.

I just cannot believe it's November.

The weather isn't helping - it's been much warmer than I remember this time of year being ever before... not hot like that crazy heat wave on the east coast, but not freezing either. Heck, my flower beds are still okay.

And it's November 5th.

I've begun my Christmas shopping... that feels good. I'm slowly adding to the piles of hidden presents. With the three kids' birthdays in the six weeks before Christmas, there's a lot of buying to do. So pretty much if I see something I think one of them will like, I buy it. I can use it somewhere - either as a birthday or a Christmas present.

We had a quiet weekend, with Tejan gone to hang out with his Daddy Chris and Mom Debbie - the founders of Children of the Nations. It was good timing for all of us. I think T. was beginning to feel a little homesick - and I was pretty worn out after that last surgery. He'll come home Tuesday night. I think we'll all be rejuvenated...

I'm off to wake up the kidlets. Got to get them off to school so I can revel in the Monday-ness.

Cheers, friends!

    I'm with you on it being Nov. already. Yeesh. I have started my shopping too and it does feel good. Now I need to wrap. It just seems wrong to wrap this early though. :)

    Cathy,
    I have some sad, but true, news for you. (in case you haven't already noticed)The summers race by, then fall races by, mostly winter drags on, then spring zoomz by, and it starts all over again. The older you get, the more pronounced it is. Don't believe me?
    Just ask your parents.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Look at this!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.
