1. I may have to take up midnight blogging. Being back on the focused home school train leave little time to sit here in my day. Bummer.
2. Sleep is for the weak.
3. My boys are unusual. Right now, as I type, there is a sled parked high in the tree in the front yard. It's been there since Saturday. They have no plans to move it any time soon. It's purpose? I sure couldn't tell you.
4. I'm short and somewhat fashion impaired. I rediscovered this fact last weekend when I went shopping. I had some gift cards to spend and made the discovery that jeans now come in very long boot cut. Only. So, now I'm learning that first, for my width, I ought to be a lot taller. Next, I learned that I'm cheap. Really cheap. I'd rather have the cheap jeans than get the custom made short ones. So, now I have boot cut jeans that drag on the floor. Bugs me. I know that's what they're supposed to do, I look at other people, I do, really, but I still don't love it. I'm learning to adapt to these dragging jeans. Leaves me thinking that fashion is stupid and not useful. Guess that means the last thing I re-learned in this category is that I'm real practical and not real fashionable.
5. Went to the church women's fall kick off thing in spite of myself and sort liked it. It was a sort of assignment to go along with someone else, but the sessions were great and I realized that I "know" more people than I thought I did. Meaning, I recognized a few more people than I thought I would. I even had a conversation with a lady that I've talked with before, so it wasn't a total day of strangers. The sessions I went to were insightful causing me to see a few "old" things in new ways. Always good. Now, will I suddenly be deeply connected with the ladies at this church, probably not. But that's not them or me, really, just the path that God has put me on. See, just as we're all unique, in a lot of ways we're all the same. It's just that my stride of life is slightly more unique. I find very few other people who are walking a similar path and so just out of practical real life as it is sort of stuff, I don't fit into a lot of places. That's ok. That's the season I'm in.
6. I had hoped this would be a year of good health, but it looks like one of my Mr.'s had other plans. Seems I'll be spending a good amount of my time at both my local hospital, local clinic and Children's too. Not so thrilled here. Add on the court stuff for Little Miss and this should be one challenging year for school and baby sitters!!
7. Every year I remember that I love the fall. It is the perfect season. Hands down. Perfection. Days and nights that can be described with words like crisp, wonderful, beautiful, colorful, rich. Food that is the best of the season. It's all good.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed Saturday and that the sessions were useful to you.
I am also short and buying pants is no fun! I always think about those really expensive ones - and then I say no. I have found however, that the lands end outlet on Bluemound has quite a few short lengths in their sale jeans - often as cheap as $9.
