The weather has been really beautiful. My husband raked up a ton of leaves. Which the kids did enjoy. Our neighbor doesn't have a back yard. He has a forest. The shade it gives us in the summer is great. But the leaves in Fall are overwhelming. The kids have been playing in them all day. They all smell like little puppies that have been playing outside all day. So they will have to be scrubbed clean tonight.

I think we have finally gotten all of the Halloween stuff boxed up. Now we just need to find space to store it.

Things have been pretty calm. We do need to find a fun way to do my daughter's science project on the planets. She was assigned the planets for a science fair so I want it to be cool. But we haven't been able to find anything that great online. So any suggestion's would be appreciated.

I have also been working with this "dealing with my guilt" assignment. I decided to write a list of things that cause me guilt. I'am then going to break down each one down and try to figure out whether there is a true reason for me to feel guilt over it or not. I'am still a little confused on what she means by "what Am'I getting out of it." I guess I will have to equate that into each statement also. I wish I could call her or knock on her door ask her to better clarify it for me. Maybe I'm putting to much into it. I don't know.

Anyway, I'm a little worried about my husband. He has been under so much stress with his new job. He wants to do a good job and worries that he is not. He then has to come home and has things to do around the house and with the kids. He had the shingles back in April and he has been getting strange numbness and some tingling again. God I hope it doesn't come back. It was absolute hell for him. So painful. He can get a vaccine, but it costs $200. So since he has been better we just haven't thought about it. Now we are not sure we can afford it with Christmas coming and both of the girls need braces. It never ends. So I need to be less demanding so he can just have some more down time. Sometimes life is out our control though.

Well I need to get a ham out of the oven. It smells good! I'am starving!
