What I’m reminiscing about…

With Q’s 10th birthday Yesterday so I am remembering when he was born of course.

What I’m loving…

Our new lawn. We put in some artificial turf and it has been a great addition. The kids can just go up there and play and no one looks like Pig Pen when they come back down. 

What I’m dreading…

It’s not “dreading” in the traditional meaning, but something that is really irking me is that every commercial seems to be sports betting or for GLP-1s. Since we watch a lot of sports we are bombarded by these ads. I guess I should be glad they aren’t allowed to advertise vapes.

What we’ve been up to…

Enjoying a busy fall. September started out with school and baseball playoffs, then it was Q’s birthday. Work also picked up with more people back from holidays and I’ve been going into the office more often. October is equally busy for us and then (dare I mention it?) Christmas prep starts in earnest after Halloween. 

What I’m working on…

I’m a little slow on doing this but I wanted to reach out to Q’s teacher sooner than later about getting some sort of homework system set up. They don’t like to give homework but we think it would benefit Q to have some scholastic activity everyday. Dave and I have tried doing this ourselves but we really need the support of the teacher to assign something and keep us all accountable. 

What I’m excited about…

My trip to London and Edinburgh in November. I’m going with the friends that I travel with. We have our hotels and flights booked. Our plans are to go to the Christmas markets, catch a soccer football game, shop, and eat :)

What I’m watching/reading…

I’m still rewatching The Summer I Turned Pretty. Dave and I are watching The Gentlemen.

I will do my book review for my recent reads tomorrow. Nothing on the go right now, I need to get to the library this week.

What I’m listening to…

My Fall Playlist. I made it a few years ago and have added a few more songs this year: Welcome Home Son by Radical Face, and Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift.  They have a fall feel too.

What I’m wearing…

My Toronto Maple Leafs sweatshirt! We love the Blue Jays but with their season over we are switching gears to hockey (and later Raptors basketball).

What I’m doing this weekend…

Golfing in the Ladies Closing and hosting Q’s rep baseball team for our end of year party.

What I’m looking forward to next month…

A work trip to BC, Thanksgiving, E’s birthday, Halloween, and the leaves changing colour

What else is new…

I can't think of anything that wasn't covered above!
