Back to school

I have really enjoyed the past few days being off and all of us together. Now its back to school for the kids and I and back to work for Ben. These next few weeks are going to be so busy for all of us just thinking about it makes me tired.

We didn't get to go to the tree lighting ceremony Saturday...it rained, torrential downpours at times :( Then of course the day that Bens dad and grandmother leave its beautiful outside, go figure!

I have an oral presentation for English class and guess who gets to be the very first one on the very first day? Yep of course ME! AHHHH,lol. I hate getting up in front of people and speaking like this. It has to be 4 minutes long, another ahhhh moment! December 8th is the dreaded day.

Matthew has his first band concert this Thursday and his teacher gave him a duet to do. He is really playing that trumpet very well. We can sing Jingle Bells along with him :) Caitlin will be inducted in the National Juniors Honor Society this week, quite the honor and we are all proud of her. Justin will get his bobcat award in cub scouts next week which is also a very cool thing. WTG kids! :)

I can't believe we have to wait 2 weeks for another episode of Desperate Housewives. I think the network enjoys the torture,lol. I had a feeling that it would be the nosey neighbor but was still shocked. They made it sound like it was going to be one of the 5, most likely Edie. Ben pretends that he doesn't like it, he'll go on the computer when it comes on but always asks me what happened after it ends,lol.

Have a great week and continued prayers for our troops!
