A Chilly Start To The Week


My trees are giving a hint that the autumn season is creeping in.  The weather this morning is a chilly 65 degrees and I'm not sure how I feel about having to put a sweater on.  I confess, I do like this time of year but I do not look forward to the season that comes after fall.  I won't get into that now, though.  

I've been notified that I have to change pick up times for my three boys because a forth one was added and he lives a bit out of the way.  Starting tomorrow I will have to leave the house earlier to do my school van run.  I'm not sure how I feel about that either.  Still, it's a job I'm grateful for and less stress than I've had to deal with before in many, many other jobs.  

I told my daughter I may be pulling the fall decorations out of the attic this weekend and we can get a head start on getting things out but I like to keep all the patriotic things around for September 11th.  I prefer waiting until the actual first day of fall but never before Patriots Day.  

My son is still dealing with a cough, my daughter ended up getting sick but seems to be recovering faster than her brother has and now my husband is sick, too.  What is going on?  I often feel my throat getting scratchy but I can also feel my body fighting it.  A mother cannot get sick.  

This week will be busy with cross-country practices and a meet, band practices and a football game on Friday and this weekend will be even busier.  I should also get to yard work when time allows.  

Have a great week, friends!  Thanks for taking the time to stop by my little blog.

  1. Praying for you and your family. This changing of the stations can get us feeling sick, with the heat and now the cold air...
    I'm a Fall girl, so I love everything Fall and this week I started to decorate, too! :)
    Have a blessed week!

  2. I’m kinda a stickler on when I start observing the seasons and especially Fall. It’s my favorite time of year too but even I start to get bored with all the orange and pumpkins for 3 minutes months. I start September off with apples and then slowly descend to the pumpkins etc.

    It’s cooler here this morning which excites me but 84 degrees as a high which doesn’t feel like how I want Fall to feel like.

    Have a great week.
