Hello ... and welcome to my first post of November. It's hard to believe the year 2025 is coming to a close and Christmas is around the corner. Daylight Savings has ended and as much as I enjoyed that extra hour of sleep last Sunday I really struggle with the pitch black darkness at 5pm. By 8pm I feel absolutely done with the day and all I can think about is crawling into bed.
Halloween came and went. My daughter dressed up as a cow and went trick-or-treating with a group of friends. This is the first year I did not join her and I was actually okay with that. I do miss when they were little and everything was new and exciting for them. The teenage years are filled with other newer experiences and an independence they are ready for. My son and his girl friend (not sure if they are official but I'd like to say they are) had dinner with us and then watched a few scary movies together. I opted to stay in my bedroom while watching a non-Halloween television show. I grew up being forced by family to watch scary movies and now as an adult they aren't appealing to me at all.
Now that marching band and cross-country has ended we are adjusting to a new routine. My son got a job at a shoe store, his favorite place to buy running shoes. My daughter joined the swim team; which took us all by surprise, and she is also acting in the fall play. Yesterday was election day and in my town the results were in my favor but I'm questioning the decisions made in other areas of this country (I'll keep all that to myself). Regardless, I will always stand by knowing that God is the One in control and He is who I lean on.
My kids have an early dismissal today and my son has work this evening. I've been spending the dark evenings relaxing at home. What more could a homebody like me enjoy? If only humans had the ability to hibernate, I would definitely be asleep in shelter until spring.
