What's with this October stuff in the title?!! How the heck did THAT happen?! September is just flying by!
Didn't get as much done as I'd hoped yesterday so I've got plenty to do today. The heat while I was sitting out on the soccer field sapped a lot of my energy, and the mosquitos were horrible in the early evening - but it was mostly because I hid in my room with the door shut to block out the younger grandson practicing on his new trombone - I'm going to have to send the band instructor a nice gift certificate to the bar; err, the Mexican restaurant. Grandson didn't know I was hiding in my room, because he had the door to his room shut as well - the grand-dog would howl when he would start playing. Now I know why my Mama - and especially my Pop - didn't get too upset when I dropped band; my excuse was that I had extra activities already with the load of projects I was doing in 4-H, but the truth was that I hated that hand-me-down clarinet!
So, prep plans for the rest of this weekend include getting all those darn walnuts picked up out of the side yard, and pulling out the sweet corn - I figure that is all I will be able to get done if I want to keep up with the housework as well.
Looks like I'm going to be riding herd on the grandkids the last few days of my October vacation while daughter does a favor for a friend by driving their vehicle to them to their other home in a different state. Since Hubby hasn't come up with any plans for the rest of the vacation, I might take off with one of my cousins to visit another cousin who lives in Kentucky.
Well, the grandson has reminded me about five times in the last five minutes that he's starving and needs - NEEDS! - French toast; reckon I'd better get to it before the poor child withers away from starvation
Take care all; have a great week!
