Report Card

Not too much to report — or maybe I’m just feeling lazy after today’s amazing Indian Summer picnic and romp through the park.Yes, those are short-sleeves and barefeet…and I was wearing a tank-top.  That’s what I get for blogging about fleece and tights!Not that we’re going to complain about extra days of summer, no m’am.Of course, that does mean that, instead of productive this afternoon, we spent 3 hours lazing about Tuppency walking the dog.  (Yes, it was all about being a good pet owner.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.)The whole week wasn’t like this, though.  I did have some incredibly productive hours and didn’t do half bad on meeting my goals.  I managed to squeak by on leftovers, which meant grocery shopping last week was for milk eggs and cheese only, which made the grocery budget very happy.  After my crazy, up-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-bed day I actually got out my yoga mat.  I knew I needed to center myself, and I did exactly that.  It was nice.  I’m really sorry that I’ve let yoga go so much — it’s one of those things that is so easy to push aside; we mom’s always put ourselves last, right?  I’ve been looking at a website for a local yoga studio for a while; I think I’m actually going to go this week.

The thing I was most proud of this week was the gift we made for Nora’s friend’s birthday.  I am totally on a role with my sewing!  I was going to share pictures of it today, but it’s just awesome enough that I want it to have it’s own post.  Will you hate me if I post them tomorrow?  Oh the suspense.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
