Mama Mia Chronicles

October is one of the busiest months in our household. That and the fact that my computer is out of commission are the reasons why I have been so quite lately.

Lets see, first part of the month I tried to study for my classes, only to drop my web class half way through the month. That was just going nowhere to me. I felt bad for dropping it for like 3 sec after I did it, but then I was sooo happy and relieved. I can go on and on about why I dropped that class, but I will spare you that drama, unless you really want to know!

So, when I think about October, things that come to mind are: birthdays, pumpkins, orange color, birthdays, beautiful changing colors of nature, falling leaves, birthdays, pumpkin patch, hey ride, carving pumpkin, birthdays, Halloween and birthdays. Now, I know B you are sitting next to the beach eating ice cream, but this is October in Maryland.

Two monumental things have happened this month (well three if you count me dropping my class). First one is that my baby boy has turned 3 years old. He is so big now. We managed to get him potty trained on time and my baby has started preschool. Now this is that second monumental thing I was talking about. Starting preschool is a big, no make that huge, step for this household, albeit small for mankind. He did great. Much better than expected. Though, for some reason he can't get it into his little head why he has to go back there over and over. Today I took the cupcakes to his class and they sang him Happy Birthday. No, make that the teacher and I were singing and eight three year old kids were looking at us like we had pumpkins for our heads. Now that is another monumental thing. I made cupcakes. That was the first time I made cupcakes, can you believe that? My older one is summer child so I never had to take cupcakes for him to school. Note to self, if I ever have third child, make him/her summer child:-).

The rest of the month is going to be just as exciting. Now that soccer season is over we are having a little party, i.e. the trophy award ceremony. Then my transformer Bumblebee and Optimus Prime will go around the neighborhood trick-or-treating for Halloween. And I get two hours on Wednesday to spend in my own company. It can't get much better than that. I think I might go and by some shoes.

Hugs to all,

Ms D.
