A Little Bit Of This, A Little Bit Of That

Oh yes, life's just been chugging along.  I promised myself I'd try and blog more, but somehow I dropped the ball again.  Maybe I need to add blogging into my daily schedule.  Of course that would mean that I add it to my iPhone Calendar.  I live and die by that calendar.  I especially like the reminders that it bings me with.  Thank goodness for that or I'd drop a lot more balls than just blogging...

1.  Soccer is over for the season.  But basketball has now started.  I feel like I live my life according to sports and not seasons.  Life with two boys means that the sporting events never end.

2.  The Little Man is still loving Tae Kwon Do and is testing for his orange belt this weekend.  Keep your fingers crossed for him :)

3.  We had snow last week.  Yes we did.

It's gone now, but you know it's only a matter of time before it comes back.  In full force.  I'm not ready...

4.  The farm around the corner from us rents fields two miles down the road.  It's the road I use to go everywhere.  Due to the amount of rain the fields have been beyond muddy.  The amount of mud they put all over the road is amazing.  My car looks like I've gone "mudding".  That means I must make weekly trips to the $5.00 car wash (which really isn't $5, but $12.  Go figure...).  I hope they're done harvesting the feed corn soon as I'm so done with all this mud.  But I will miss the colored soap portion of the car wash

Blue soap on the wind shield, pink on the sides and yellow on top.  The boys and I have decided that this is our favorite part.

4.  Thanksgiving is next week.  I bought our turkey from an Amish farm and I pick it up next week.  I'm now wishing that I would have asked if they clean out the insides and pluck it too.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.  I have no experience with gutting and plucking  (eeewww...).

5.  I'm going to try and finish all my Christmas shopping by the beginning of December.  I have a good chunk done so I need to make a list of what is left and knock it out.  I have my Christmas cards and I hope to have those addressed and sent by Thanksgiving.  I'm REALLY trying to be as organized as I can so that I can completely enjoy the season.

6.  I mentioned WEEKS ago that our powder room is under construction.  Sadly, it still is.  5.5 weeks and counting thanks to a damaged board that was delivered to us with the initial vanity delivery 3 weeks ago.  I had to email our "sales person" with a nasty gram yesterday.  I hate doing that but I REALLY need to get this bathroom finished.  This board better show up soon or I may have to pay him a visit in person. No one wants a cranky lady in their sales room... (pictures to follow if it ever gets completed).

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!
