September...Currently

Currently I'm.....

Feeling:  Pretty Good!  School is in full swing, we are settling into a pretty good routine. The kids haven't been late to school yet, I haven't been late to work yet, we all have packed lunches each day and homework is getting done.  The kids are enjoying their perspective activities and as of now the laundry isn't piling up.

Thinking:  A lot about a friend and fellow CG spouse who is recovering from breast cancer surgery. She is young, to young, trying to recover from a double mastectomy, all while putting on a good front for her 3 kids.  I can't imagine!  I know she is struggling so I'm hoping fresh flowers and homemade pumpkin bread on a Friday afternoon will raise her spirits.  Did I mention, Cancer sucks!!

Loving:  The idea of Fall!  My decor is out, my candles are burning and my new boots arrived!!                

                                                                                                                                                                               

                                    

                                     

I have been craving a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks....until now!  Look what a friend brought back from civilization for me.

                                     

And my cousin in California is sending more more. I miss walking into a coffee shop so badly.  The atmosphere, the smell and just looking around!

Listening:  Aside from the standard sounds of my children and football on the TV, I have been listening to Brandie Carlisle and Mumford and Sons a ton. FYI...Amos Lee has a new album coming out next month.  I love listening to music more then watching TV.  I have very few shows on TV I enjoy.  There is nothing better then playing music on my ipod.  

Anticipating:  Two drastically different things.  First, the holidays.  I love them, I love them, I love them.  I will likely start Christmas shopping in the next two weeks.  I love the warm and fuzzies of the holidays.  I can not wait.  Second, Maui!  Six months from now we will be back at our little cove on Maui soaking up the sun.  That trip, knowing its out there is what will pull me through this coming winter.
