10 on Tuesday

1. I am super tired today. I think with Mark being gone all week/weekend I haven't caught much of a break, and then SURPRISE, it's Monday again! Maybe i can go to bed earlier tonight. :)

2. Tyler seems to be doing a little better on the Zantac. She has only had two doses of it, so I am sure it hasn't miraculously worked overnight! Hopefully it just gets better as the week progresses.

3. I had my The Poppy Seed party on Saturday. We did really well despite the yucky damp misty weather.

4. I booked Taryn's Birthday Party yesterday. It's going to be at Palace Pointe. I was shooting for Oct. 24 around lunchtime so we could get home and make it to one of my 10yr High school reunions without having to clean the house before and after......plus If my parents stay, then they can babysit for us! :) Some other company has booked the space for the whole day Saturday, so we are doing it on Sunday the 25th.

5. we are getting closer and closer to camping this year! :) I am super excited! We didn't go last year because of the burn ban........if you can't have a campfire, what's the point of camping!? This will be Taryn's first year, too! Tyler will be chillin in Pittsboro with my parents for the weekend.......her first trip away from Mommy, and our first night apart. :(

6. I love this beautiful fall weather! I think I could manage if it was always 60/70.....although I would miss what little snow we get, and the sweltering days at the pool.

7. I wish I could get out a little more and enjoy the weather. by the time I pick up both kiddies I need to start dinner, and baths, and book time. I try to make it out to some of Mark's softball games, but I feel like I am running around crazy! First to pick up Taryn by 6, then east to Granny's to get Tyler then back west past school to the ballgame. I was planning on picking up Tyler first today, but we had a few issues with her car seat/stroller. she spit up all over the car seat, so it's in the wash. We tried going to the ballgame last night, but the torrential downpour came when we were about a mile from the park. The stroller that was in the back of the truck was drenched and remains in our garage to dry out. I fear I won't get all my stuff, scoop up Tyler and pickup Taryn before 6.

8. Work seems to be picking up. :) I have been pretty busy all summer before and after Tyler was born, but some others haven't been so lucky. Thankfully we are getting some more work in, and he are all pretty busy. Now, if we can just keep this going through Dec/Jan/Feb, which is our slow time, we will be ecstatic!

9. As mentioned above, I have my 10 yr reunion coming up! :) I am so grateful that I have been included in it......I didn't graduate from there. I moved to Edenton right after my sophomore year, but I spent more time with those in Oxford........still, I don't have those lifelong friends from early childhood, but I remember some good times in Oxford! :) I look forward to seeing everyone again, although it will be like pulling teeth to get Mark to go!

10. I know it's early, but I have already started Christmas shopping!!!!! That's what happens when I host The Poppy Seed party! It's really easy to shop in my own living room. My nieces are DONE! I got a few other people done as well, but they read this blog! :) It's going to be a tight year, but I imagine it will be for everyone.......now I just need to back up a few Holidays and decorate for fall/Halloween!
