I'm not sure where to begin my report for today's happenings, but I will attempt. I had a really naughty headache this morning and opted to go back to bed with some Advil and an herb tea chaser. I wound up sleeping till after 1:00. The headache was no doubt induced by the Terrible night that my son and I had, trying to do two big projects for school that were due today. He goes to a charter school and they like to PUSH the kids. That brings me to the question, should the teachers be giving our children so much homework every night? My children have such little time to be kids and play. They spend way too much time doing homework and either have not enough or even sometimes, no play time at all (like the last two nights). Don't teachers know that play time and family time are essential?

On a happier note I got my booty out in my back yard and did some sprucing up. That's where I spent what was left of my day and some of the night planting, placing rock, and cleaning. My fence is looking pretty darn good right now and had we not ran out of fence boards this weekend, we would have finished it for sure. My Honey felt sorry for my attempt to do it without him so, with the help of our children, we got it all up together. I put our fire-pit-table together and created a cozy little retreat where some day (soon I hope) we will be able to use our hot tub.

Tomorrow is Halloween which I am only a little bit excited about because my husband will not be able to take the kids out trick-or-treating, like he always does. Thank goodness for good friends who don't mind us tagging along. Were going to meet over at my Bestest Bud Debbie's house and go with her and her boys. I suppose it's not too different than last year with the exception of Tracy not being there. This weekend we plan to have our annual after Halloween, Halloween party. That should be great fun. Ta Ta for now.
