Happy HUMP day!



I guess now that I am a working mom with a full time job I can be happy that today is HUMP day!
Halfway through the work week... AMEN!

Last weekend was such a nice one, I took the boys to my in-laws lake cottage on Saturday then just plain hung out with them on Sunday, laughing and being silly. I have to say that working during the week makes me appreciate my home and "down" time on the weekend so much more!
I'm still working on getting my hubby to handle more housework during the day when I'm gone, I'm working more hours than him right now with his goofy job situation:(
Here's some things I'm looking forward too...

 The crisp-ness of Fall.... cooler air, crunchy leaves, caramel apples, scarecrows, fall decor, picking pumpkins...


I looove this time of the year!!


I have some EXCITING news to share...
After much debate my mom and I are taking a short weekend trip to Ohio in September to attend this...
Fun country shopping for crafts, antiques, eating yummy food and sight seeing... a GIRLS only TRIP!
Its gonna be so fun!!!


I think we also will be planning a day trip to Chicago soon with the boys (hubby and I too) to take them to LegoLand...
The boys will LOVE it!
They both have a HUGE interest in building with Lego's!
We were gonna go this summer but without the extra money, we had to put it off.
I have to keep reminding myself that no matter how hard going back to work full time is, we will be able to do fun things like this again!!!


...............................................................
What are your plans for this weekend?
Remember that song... "Everybody's working for the weekend..."
Heck yea, I do!! LOL

I am so looking forward to Fall! Thank you for reminding me that it isn't just the end of summer but will soon be the beginning of changing leaves, pumpkin picking and apple cider!

Wish I had more going on for my future like you do! Enjoy!

Just think, this time last year you were doing a frantic count down! I am looking forward to fall- but not the snow! I'm kind of scared to have a Northern Winter again and I need to get over my fears or it's going to be a loooong Winter!

Well, I just finished my weekend! I guess I'm destined to have odd days off! My week end consited of movies, shopping, food, shopping, food, romance and movies! Same ole same ole but lots of fun!

I hope you and your mom will have a great time on your upcoming trip! Determine to have fun- and you will! ♥

Sounds fun! I think you and I are on the same page when it comes to fall! It's my fave season. Looking forward to our "swap."

It's been so hot and humid over here all summer, I must say I too am looking forward to Fall! lol It's been going up in the 90's with the humidex...ugh! I've just finished catching up with all of your news and I must say, you certainly have been very busy!!! I'm so thrilled for you, getting a full time job and as you say, although it's hard going back to work full time, the extra spending money will make it worth it all:-) xoxo

I was wondering if you had started yet. My first duty day is tomorrow, but I've been over setting my room up this past week. I'm glad it is going well and you're right - you so appreciate that family time on the weekends. We even run errands together during the school year so all three of us can be together. That will probably change as Baby Bee gets older, but I'll enjoy it now.

I am so excited for you to go to the Country Living Fair! I have always wanted to go, but it's too far away for me. Please bring back lots of pictures, okay?

Have a marvelous school year!
Hugs,
Janelle

P.S. Love the background and header!

I used to love fall, but I'm really sad to see the freedom of summer end. I'm not ready to give up control of our schedule to the routine of three days of school for ER:( I think I'm having a hard time accepting she is growing up.
