I can't believe how fast the month of August went. It seemed like one minute it was the fourth of July and in the blink of an eye, it's now labor day. Too bad the winter months don't go this fast. We're coming up on my favorite time of year. I love everything between now and Christmas. Bonfires, sweater weather and hayrides are some of my favorites and don't get me started on the food. Hot chocolate? Good. Pumpkin bread? Goood. Christmas cookies? Gooooood!
But before all of that happens, we're still enjoying the last few weeks of summer. This has been another week of working two nights and it's really wearing on me. Throw in a couple of migraines, and I'm pretty tired. The Etsy shop has been booming which means lots of late nights (and sometimes early mornings) in the office. We're all especially cranky because there's no food in the house. Lately, I've been shopping on Sunday afternoons while the kids nap, but last Sunday MY desire for a nap far outweighed my desire to grocery shop. It was really no contest. I quickly glanced through the cabinets and convinced myself we had enough food to last us 4 days until Friday when I could go again. This, as it turns out, was not true. I've eaten either a hot dog or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for every meal since Sunday night. Jack wanted to know why he couldn't have an eggo for breakfast this morning and when I told him we were out, he said, "we need to get some at the store." Indeed.
Oh, and Mark's Jeep died yesterday. It's at the shop today to see if it can be resuscitated. I don't hold out much hope.
