I'm not dreaming…

They are really here. Jade and Jeff are back among us and we are loving it. It's been quite a week so far. The days are very busy trying (trying being the operative word here) to get things down to a manageable level. I still have so much to go through in the basement, it is overwhelming. I haven't been very dedicated, so will have to get back to it. I can find excuses all day long, but will eventually face the music and go and get it done. What did they just say at October conference? The only thing that's constant is change. How true it is. 

I am so grateful for my family. I know how blessed we are to be living here with our sweet Pop. He is such a good man. I have a wonderful brother and sister that I love very much. Now that I'm getting sloppy, I just have to say I thank my heavenly father every day (well most days) for the patient man I'm married to. He is the bomb. The best. My mac daddy man forever. I'm sooooo thankful he puts up with all my drama. And even the lack of drama sometimes. 

In spite of all my good intentions, my Halloween decorations are limited to 4 mugs on the counter, the placemats on the table, some napkins in the holder and my favorite pumpkin cookie jar on the buffet. Man. This is bad. I did put some pumpkins in the atrium. whooo hooo.

I don't know what happened. It just got to be October 20th and I don't know how I missed getting the stuff out. The thought of going up and down the stairs about hundred times might have contributed to my procrastination. Maybe. I better start now for Christmas or things could be dismal. But before I sink into the things I didn't do list again, I guess there has been a lot of other stuff going on. Probably a lot more important than getting out the Halloween stuff. I will take comfort in that. 

Summer got out her Halloween box of costumes the other night when Richard and Stacie's kids were here, Jade and Jeff's kids were here and holy moly. They were having way too much fun with all that. Who knows what they will really end up with on Halloween, it will be fun to see. I've always said that I love happy noise. Well that was the happiest noise I've heard in a long time. Wow. The stuff of life.
