My last post may have led you to believe that my life sucks, but it doesn't. At least, not for the most part. There are good things that have happened in the last month.
The weather has been phenomenal. We had a fantastic snow storm. And then it warmed up, the snow melted and we went about in short sleeved t-shirts with the air conditioning on full blast. In case I haven't mentioned it lately, this is one of the reasons I love Colorado.
The kids had fall break and therefore, so did I. They left for a couple of weeks and I got caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, house cleaning and all sorts of other fun stuff.
Another of my family moved to the area. Yay! Denver is getting better all the time.
Paul and I enjoy spending time together. A few weeks ago he had surgery, came through it pretty well, and is recovering now. Things are mostly back to normal.
The kids went to their first school skating party. It was my own special little hell, but they really loved it. I'm trying to figure out how to help them have more fun next time and how to get me out of it.
I met with all the kids' teachers this week to go over their progress during the first trimester. It was all good news. All three teachers said that my children are a bright spot in their classrooms. All three kids are working hard, learning well and behaving themselves.
I am looking at some where else to live. My lease will be up in February and we need 3 bedrooms. This is a stressful, daunting, frustrating task. I don't like moving, but it is kind of exciting.
Paul and I have seen some excellent movies. Inglourious Basterds was fantastic. Of course, it's by Quentin Tarantino so do with that information what you will. The Invention of Lying was highly entertaining, but I warn you that not everyone would agree. Think: questioning the existence of God and How Things Came to Be. Most recently we saw The Men Who Stare at Goats. If you have a problem with George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey and Ewan McGregor making you laugh your hiney off, you probably shouldn't see it.
So that's how things are here. We are trudging along to the end of the year, the end of the school year and we are another year closer to the Empty Nest.
