.apologizing for my lack of posts lately.

.in disbelief that we are already 4 weeks into the new school year.

.starting to feel behind in my work already! Is it inevitable? Any other teachers feel this way?

.looking forward to a visit with my parents this weekend.

.enjoying having conversations with Ava about what she did at school each day.

.needing more frequent fall runs. I love fall running.

.shocked that I've been reading the same book for over a month.

.but determined to finish it.

.fall TV schedules haven't helped that matter. football, Sons of Anarchy, Biggest Loser (which I've been watching from On Demand on Sundays!) and now Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. I should not watch TV until 10 so many nights a week. Sigh ...

.thankful we've had a few low key weekends, and have a few more before a couple busy ones in October.

.excited that it was announced this morning that Garth Brooks is coming to Minnesota for concerts in November.

.even more excited that I might get a girl's night out of the deal!

.finding that I go through spurts of buying too many clothes. But the time frames where I don't buy any make up for it, right?

.speaking of clothes, needing to load Ava up on fall and winter clothes. She has just a few pair of pants that are the right length! The others still fit in the waist, but are noticeably short!
