Children, Pumpkins and Early

What can I say? I think I am losing my ever lovin' mind! I picked Avery up from school early today for a dentist appointment, signed in and was promptly informed her appointment is not until tomorrow! On the bright side, it wasn't yesterday! I feel like my brain is on turbo charge!

I have been playing catch up on the housekeeping front today. I am still tending to laundry which is a vicious cycle. I am going to buy a pair of rose colored glasses and move to a nudist colony!

I have also been putting together more fall decor. I have most of it displayed but still need to make a trip for more flowers and two small pumpkins for my coffee table centerpiece. My mind is in creative mode.

I was pleasantly surprised last night when Haylee's teacher messaged me on Facebook commending her performance and maturity this school year. Haylee had the same teacher last year and she says Haylee is a model student this year! There is nothing that makes you feel prouder when a teacher goes out of their way to let you know your child is doing, well except that your child is doing well. I was beaming!

Alex's birthday is Friday. He will be fourteen. It is also his football homecoming so we will need to find a snazzy outfit for his first high school dance! Perhaps the new "fit" can double as a birthday gift. Nah, I don't think he is going to go for that!

Danielle is having some issues with her dorm mates. She has not meshed well with them and is taking every opportunity to avoid them. They are making living there uncomfortable for her. Instead of talking about the things that are bothering them they are leaving notes on doors instructing her what she can and cannot do. Apparently, they are all passive-aggressive! Specifically, she has allowed Lauren and John to spend the night on several occasions and according to the rules this is acceptable as long as the roommates are all in agreement. At the beginning of the year they were supposed to have agreed upon a set of "house rules" but have never done it. She is miserable so I called a Resident Adviser to discuss her options. She can move to another dorm room free of charge one time or they can have a mediation type meeting to hash out their issues. She is not going to take a course of action yet and says that she can handle it but I suspect the only thing she will do is work harder to ensure that they never interface! I am truly worried about her.

Tomorrow's a new day!
