My pleasure today is having my computer back! No more lap top- I have my big screen again. Hooray!

I did something quite unlike me and went out today (usually just go out thursday's for errends during the weekdays), just driving around in a big circle to hit a few different neighboorhoods to look for yardsales. It was fun!! And made my day feel much more different than they usually are.

I paid bills -- I know normally not what you want to do but I'm also getting things paid off!

Just enjoying this absolutely, picture-perfect indian summer day! It is like August in October!! Took a long walk.... love it!! Only too soon it will be frosty and snowy!

Getting to go to the grocery store by myself! No kids saying "I want that" "She hit me" "I don't want to be here" "I'll only be good if I get..." and jumping out of the cart or picking up boxes of things we don't need!

Grocery shopping with my DD and having her sit in the chart the entire time!!! that might sound like an odd simple pleasure, but after almost 3 years of miserable grocery shopping, it was a joy!

I took the boys to Burger King when we were out running errands (there is a teacher in service day, so no school today)

I rode the bus to the mall with Julia. Took her to the playplace, ate Burger King and got a few cheap things at Target. I wanna go back by myself!
