I took July off from blogging, which then turned into accidently taking off in August.
August is busy. A mix of good and bad busy, but busy. Jeremy and I got a chance to get away for a night for his birthday and he aged himself into a new decade. The boys started 3rd and Kindergarten. I started my 16th year teaching.
September was threatening to thunder by with constant storms after that drought we called August (my mums did not survive this time). Then Francine started threatening the coast. Initially targeted right over us and (yay for us not for eastern south LA) it diverted towards Terrebonne parish.
School was out for 3 days, and we lived it up. I love a good locked in situation. The wind and rain wasn't as bad as predicted. We grabbed ice cream at a local shop while they were having a hurricane sale in anticipation of the power outages, and then I finished sewing Harry's quilt.
The kids immediately began their labor demands and have had me burning the midnight oil to finish Elliot's quilt at a speed I don't like to work at. A hobby for me is a pick up here and there, water it here and there, not have two small people standing over you demanding a timeline.
For the record I started writing this incredibly show blog post on Friday, didn't finish until later. I also have tried to will my children into a pretty little quilt, boyish, but colors their mother wouldn't mind looking at, quilt number 3 is in fact a Pokémon theme.
I lost.
