- As a stay-at-home-mom with a husband who works a non-traditional schedule, Fridays are generally just another day of the week to me, but this week? TGIF. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that both The 1st Grader and The Preschooler are back in class this week and I am having a hard time readjusting to our new schedule.
- Everything seems to be going well so far for both kids. The Preschooler is just thrilled to be playing with new-to-her-toys and with kids that she isn't related to and The 1st Grader is so shell-shocked by being in a new classroom with a new teacher and new classmates that several days this week the only response I got from him when I asked him about his day was a wink.
- My gardens are on the verge of exploding. We had such a cool wet spring and early summer that all the plants are HUGE, but have been very slow to produce, and my tomatoes are just now starting to think about turning red. We planted green beans, peas, and pumpkins in July and should have enough to keep us in fresh vegetables through September.
- My husband got a promotion this week. This means a little more money, a few more responsibilities, and a little more time in the office instead of on cases (translation: things are staying about the same.) Being in management, however, apparently means that he is now expected to attend social functions and that I am to come with him. Despite the fact that this means nights out without kids, I am not really thrilled. My pajamas expect me promptly at 7:30 each night and I don't want to disappoint them.
- I am planning on making a cheesecake for dessert after Sunday's family dinner. My mouth is already watering.
Thank you to the incomparable
Danifred for hosting Friday Night Leftovers! I love purging and rearranging the thoughts in my head just as much as I like purging and rearranging my kitchen cabinets when my husband is out-of-town because I think it is hysterical to watch him spend 10 minutes looking for his breakfast cereal.

The social functions might be fun! Depends on the people, I guess. But, getting to dress up, and have adult conversations might actually be pretty fantastic.
The breakfast cereal thing made me LOL, because if I did that, I would blow my husband's mind! He cannot find the jar of peanut butter that is exactly where it always is, just because it is behind something! How do they function at work?! Seriously... I don't get it.
Hooray for promotions, boo for real clothes!
i'm with you... social functions that i am 'expected' to attend do not thrill me, either. :) but yay for the promotion! and the cheesecake.
I can't believe the kids are so big. It's so strange to have one out of the house all day over here, I can't imagine two.
I'm with you on the forced social functions. I'd prefer my pajamas personally.
Changed your name again?
I'm with you on PJ's at 7:30. Puk is starting 1st grade too. I would have loved to see your son wink at you, LOL! Hahah, hilarious:)
Hope all is well with you, I've been having trouble blogging, too much of my real life getting me down I guess.
But I'm still here...
can i go to these social functions you speak of? haha! neither matt or i have fun jobs where they have such a thing. :) just think of it as 'required kidless dates'. BONUS. and the extra money will help pay for the babysitter - haha!
congrats to him on the promotion though!
i need to get in on this friday night leftover business. it would fit all the randomness in my head perfectly.
Catching up...
--My Emma is a 1st grader too. How the years fly by! I am always awed that time seems to pass more quickly the older I get.
--For me (especially the past decade that I've been teaching) the start of school = fall as well. However, our local public pool is still open through this (Labor Day) weekend. Emma has of course made me promise we'll go at least one of the 3 days off.
--Kudos to you for maintaining an awesome and plentiful garden. I wish I had more of a green thumb.
--I'm with you and the other commenters...PJs all the way. I'm not much of a "dress up" kind of gal. :)
