Hi All!! checking in

[cjcouple]

Miss you all.  Sorry I disappeared for a bit.  I am just dealing with so much stuff right now and am just ready for a break. 

- Friday is my dads funeral services (finally). So $$$ - ugh
- This weekend is my sons last BBall tournament for the season. Thank goodness.  
- Brayden is also struggling in Science (7th Grade) and I am just frustrated trying to figure out what he needs and making sure his teacher has realistic expectations of his SM.
    Anyone have a student or know of a kid who is just not that into school? He does fine but realistically, he is     not the most motivated in academics.  
 
- Just bought a car today because our 2nd car was on it's last leg and it was tme to replace it. I hate car shopping.  

How are all of you?

You totally deserve a break!

We're mostly busy with work stuff, and one of us also has an activity literally every weeknight of the week. I can't believe I'm looking forward to the holidays already for a bit of a "break", but I am - lol!

I'm loving pilates, though; I'm definitely going to keep that up!

Good to hear from you! I hope things go well at your dad's services, and things settle down a little so you can get some rest.

We are super busy because of Halloween. We had trick-or-treat on Saturday with some family, Sunday my aunt brought my Grandma over to visit and see the kids' costumes, and tomorrow we go trick-or-treat a bit around MIL's house with cousins and then have dinner over there. Tomorrow I'm helper at preschool, plus stopping in/bringing stuff to all three big kid parties. And all four kids need their costumes for school, too. Going to be kind of crazy. I have to make/arrange snacks tonight plus treat bags for DD3's party at preschool. Also, I totally messed up and said I would bring orange Gatorade and popcorn to DD2's party...not understanding that the room mom wanted me to use a printable and make "pumpkin juice" labels on all the Gatorades!!!!! Arrghghhh! Have to figure that out tonight. And put in new ink cartridges.

Went on DD2's pumpkin field trip today and that was really nice.

Really glad that soccer is over for the kids!
