Fall's here, and we've got a lot going on. I've had all sorts of blog ideas running through my head, but have been so incredibly busy that I haven't had time to write. So here's what's going on:
- I spent a week in training for a systems certification. The credential is worth something inside my company; not worth anything anywhere else unless that company uses the same system.
- Everything started this month: music, soccer, riding show season. We have activities going on 6 days a week with Sundays off (unless you count church).
- It is amazing how many checks I write now that school started. Lunches, pictures, field trips, class parties. I skipped the wrapping paper and magazine fundraisers. I would prefer the option of just doing a lump sum donation for the year.
- I've gotten really good at starting house projects, but not so much at finishing them. So far, I've decluttered my office but haven't finished sorting papers and filing, so those boxes are still in the living room. I've started decluttering Sweet Pea's room but haven't moved the boxes out or donated anything. Seasonal clothing changeover has begun, with clothes everywhere in the guest room. And we haven't finished painting the primed doors we had installed - in 2005.
- I love cleaning lady day. At least it forces us to pick up every two weeks. One might think I could keep the house up while working from home, but the point is I'm working - I can do a load or two of laundry, but it's hard to scrub a bathroom when you're on a conference call. And I hate doing bathrooms.
- The best part of fall? Fair season! We've been to two small local fairs, and last weekend went to our favorite fair of the year, The Big E. We've been to the Big E every year since 1993, through good and bad weather, pregnancies, babyhood, toddlers - nothing stops us from going. We graze our way through the states, look at the craft displays, watch the product demonstrations and go through the animal exhibits. The Big E is a huge regional state fair, and we love it.
No wonder I haven't been blogging lately!

Sounds busy! How could you pass on the magazines? :) I bought 10...yikes!!
Ahhh I love the Big E, we decided not to go this year since we went last year. Money is tight (and so are my pants) so we figured it was best not to go and eat our way through all of New England
