Today has been a great day. I was off of work today for Fair Day, although we don't use this day for going to the fair for some reason. It's just really expensive and why not use it as the *bonus* day off that it is! That's what I did. All of my kids had school today, because their fair day is on Wednesday, so after about 8 am.. I was free! I went shopping, did some planning for Lucy's bday, had a lunch date with my husband and did some minor housework! When I say minor.. I really mean it. With 3 kids, to do only one load in a day of laundry is minor. What a relaxing day, then to top it off, for dinner we had chili frito pie. I would say with that alone is a sign of fall. I love to have warm soups and chili in the fall. It's so yummy and the weather is perfect at about 65 degrees and a little windy. Now, if I just had something sweet to top it off, I'd be set. All of my kid are home now, and the house is no longer quiet. Instead, it's full of 2 girls playing chase in the living room, an enormous dog chewing something up behind me..( I'm afraid to look ) and 2 boys getting ready for the Monday night cub scout meeting. Back to normal... i guess. I love normal though. It's hum drum days that really make me thankful. No one is sick right now, no one has a big school project due, there are no bills to be paid.. (ha! that's just outright funny) well there are bills, but for right now, I think I will just go play chase with the girls. Enjoy your fall night tonight too. Hey, does anyone really read my blog or do I just write for the therapy of expression?
