Fighting a cold. Or something. I don't get sick often but it seems that when I do, my body is playing catch up for all the time I wasn't sick. I've been drinking hot green tea since yesterday, because that is the cure for any illness (you knew that, right?)
Planning meals for children who won't be at the dinner table. We're in full extra-curricular mode, so we're spending a lot of time in the car. Dinner either has to be ready exactly when they get home and stay for a few minutes (crockpot and 1-pot dinners are great) or portable (quesadillas, rice dishes that can put in plastic bowls) in order to stay out of the drive-thru lanes.
Bracing myself for the onslaught of Halloween decorations. Its not my favorite holiday. And its not because of the candy; the candy in fact, is the one thing that makes it bearable. It's the skeletons and ghosts and goblins and spiders and scary things that will be everywhere for the next 33 days. It's a tall price to pay for all those little packs of M&Ms and mini-chocolate bars.
Rearranging clothes drawers and closets. It's the seasonal switch. Move clothes from the front of the closet to the back. Set aside clothes that will be too small or too out of style when it gets warm again. Pack away clothes that will make it to the next season. And I always imagine that we're going to take this South Pacific vacation in the middle of winter and will need those bathing suits and shorts and sundresses, so I don't pack them too far away. (You never know, this could be there year!)
Panicking because October 1 means there's only three more months to get done all the things I had hoped to get done in 2014!
Have a good week!
