Breathe...

It's been a crazy few weeks...but I think things are slowing down a bit.  Lovely.  Today I did lots of laundry and baking...apple cake, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin cookies.

Tomorrow is another therapy day.  Then a friend and I are hosting a "come ask questions about essential oils" event  (if you know me in real life and are interested, ask me for details).

Wednesday...more therapy...but not until the afternoon, so I have the entire morning at my leisure.  :-)

Thursday.  Drop off Josiah for Co-op and pick him up later.

Friday.  Take Mark to the dentist to get a cavity filled.

Right now I should be in bed sleeping...but instead I'm blogging, eating a Nutrageous, and watching "The Voice".

So far November looks to be a month with less things scheduled.  Guess we'll see what comes!

October

is on the downward slope...headed towards Thanksgiving, Black Friday Sales, Pre-Black Friday Sales, Christmas, and the end of another year.

Yesterday we acquired a treadmill.  I have hopes to use it regularly since heat and cold are 2 dominant reasons on my list of doing anything active that would be good for me.  :-)  Yesterday afternoon I attempted the lowest intensity preprogrammed walk/run.  Yeah.  I am obviously extremely out of shape, even for a 20 minute low intensity workout!

Last night Randy & I went out.  We went to one of our favorite places...Plaza Azteca.  Delicious as always!

This coming week is rather crazy, but I'm sure we'll get through it...Family-Based Therapy, X-Ray, Orthodontic Appt., Coffee w/Friends, Orthopedic Doctor appointment, all day training, and a day off of school...

Book Review - The Entitlement Cure

I was excited to be part of the Launch Team for this book.  I have very much appreciated other books by Dr. Townsend (and Dr. Cloud with whom he co-wrote "Boundaries" as well).  This book was not a disappointment.  The book encouraged me both in how I relate to those with entitlement issues and in how I deal with my own feelings of entitlement.  I'd definitely recommend it.  And today, on Amazon, it is on sale!

**I received a copy of this book for review purposes.  My opinions are my own.

October Randomness

Enjoying a gorgeous fall day today!  The trees are on the hills around us are still mostly green, but they're starting to darken.

I am quite excited about this week...very minimal obligations = lots of time to catch up around home.  This week we have a violin lesson, coffee & play group, occupational therapy, family-based therapy, youth group, and co-op...that's it!  We should also pick up a pair of new glasses at some point.

We had a busy weekend.  Saturday we celebrated with our friends at a wedding...lovely despite the weather not cooperating with the original plans.  Sunday Randy tackled the BICYCLING Fall Classic - 90 mile ride.  Despite the chilly weather and wind, he successfully accomplished it!  Saturday morning Randy & Josiah went to what was basically a swap-meet/vendor show for biking stuff.  I spent some time on the computer ordering pictures and taking advantage of sales.  :-)

Now I need to do mounds of laundry and clean up the house...amazing how much it deteriorates after a few days of neglect...

Have a lovely day!
