part of my story: sunday stuff

eating nothing at the moment.

drinking water, but I'm about ready to make some tea.

hoping I wrote my 3 IEP goals out right for tonight's assignment. My current class is Children with Exceptionalities and I'm learning all about special ed. stuff. There are more acronyms in special ed. than I've ever heard in my entire life.

listening to silence. Well, the hum of the laptop, I guess.

loving these flowers brought to me on Saturday just because.

procrastinating on sweeping and mopping the bathroom floors. Maybe tomorrow. I did get the carpets cleaned this week, so at least I have that finally done.

finding some bargains at Goodwill this week. Two brand new pairs of Lane Bryant jeans and a brand new Land's End sweater. That never happens.

napping this afternoon for an hour. Phil had a class (he's learning the ins and outs of starting a private practice) and I worked on homework for a while before I decided to go for it. It's been a while since my last Sunday afternoon nap. Wilson happily joined me. I didn't want to get up. It was so dark already and he was being snuggly. He has a birthday coming up this week. My birthday boy is going to be 4 years old!

cheering for the home team. We went to a Portland Trail Blazer's preseason game a couple of weeks ago and football has been on pretty much every day. Monday night football, Thursday night football, Saturday college football, and Sunday the Seahawks are on. Since when did football take over the entire television???

gearing up for Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pie and/or pumpkin crunch cake, anyone?

loving the fall colors. A lot of trees still have their leaves, or like, half their leaves. But we've had some rain last night and today that will probably zap a lot of them. The sky has been pretty cool lately too.

anticipating Christmas stuff. Ladies luncheon at church (our theme this year is An Old Fashioned Christmas) and the annual cookie party and being done with my class and not having homework for almost a month.

admitting that I haven't walked my dog in a week.

needing new shoes. I have the hardest time finding shoes. The bottoms of my feet are super sensitive, so no stitching or bumpy stuff at all. It's a pain to shoe shop.

making not a whole heck of a lot. I did design the tickets for the Christmas luncheon last night. That's about the extent of my creativity. I was in a kindergarten class a week or so ago and these flowers on the wall caught my eye. The teacher told me she made them for her wedding and then brought them to hang up in her room. They're made entirely of paper.
