Oh, October

I just read through all of my past October posts.  Because, amazingly, it's October.  October, month of beautiful leaves, the commencement of chilly days, and apparently a month where the occasional discouragement of motherhood shows up and then retreats with a cup of hot cocoa and a bit of philosophy.

No hot cocoa for me this month, though.  This month is No Sugar Month.  I know.  It sounds like a lot of fun.  But truthfully, there will be some sugar this month, because I let my kids celebrate birthdays and my sister's birthday is coming up.  But the sugar is limited. I figure before we jump into the holiday season with beaucoup sugar we will try and go without for the most part.  Wish me luck.  I'm the one addicted to chocolate chips.

Soccer season is over, and that's a relief, because it will cut down on the weekly craziness.  Although not entirely this week, because the kids' Reflections stuff is due this week.  My kids take Reflections seriously.  I am not a fan.  But I do what I can to facilitate.

It's late and I need to go to bed.  I'm tired.  I need to brush my teeth.  I need my sleep since I don't get my sugar.

I'll see you later.
