It's a new day...

Obviously I didn't make the evening post. I think I need to change the update time in the evening. So now I'll update at 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 8pm (CST).

Mom is stressed out today. Something happened at work yesterday and unfortunately she will have to take the blame for it. I think some people have it out for certain other people and because the person that started it all is working in mom's office, she has to take the heat for it. She is so nervous and scared. It will only be a lecture but still, nobody likes to get in trouble at work. She thinks that if she just lays still that the principal will just sniff her and leave her alone. I told her to apologize constantly and maybe he'll get tired of hearing it and let her leave his office.

Kaleigh woke up in the most amazing mood today. The first thing she asked me was "where are Mimi and Ryan". I told her that Mimi went to work and that Ryan was at school but they'd be home really soon.

I've done 4 loads of laundry already, I've got a lot more to do though. I did all the towels last night so the hardest part is over. I just have a lot of folding and hanging up to do today.

Today is Ryan's picture day at school. He's very nervous that everyone will be able to see the scar on his head. I told him to just tilt his head up slightly and look to the right a little and it should be ok.

I've come to the conclusion that Ryan was accepted into the Gifted and Talented program. He meets with this specific teacher every other day of the week and they do one on one time once a week. I asked him if he was the only one in his class that got to do that and he said yes. They do special projects that the other kids don't get to do. Nothing official has come from the school yet so I'm not 100% sure. Mom says they may do that with him because he's "high risk" because he doesn't have a dad. The teacher was talking to him yesterday about marriage and divorce. I guess she wanted to know more about the situation between mom and Ryan's dad. Ryan said he didn't know but all he knew was that he didn't have a dad.

The cats are in their usual spots. Sasha is hiding under the bed and we won't see her until 3pm when Ryan gets home. Baby Kahn is in the window and Derby is laying on the chair.

It was nice and cool this morning, cool enough to where I needed to wear a light jacket. I love this time of year!!

So like I said yesterday, Halloween is coming and I'm so excited. This is the first year that Kaleigh REALLY understands what's going on. Last year she kind of got the idea but this year she's super excited about it. We usually leave the house at 5:30pm and walk to the street behind us to do our trick-or-treating. They block off the entire street and all the kids in the area go there to do their trick-or-treating. Then towards the end of that street (about 2 blocks from our house) the church has this festival. It's free to go to and they have games and stuff for the kids where they can win Halloween prizes. The only thing you'd have to pay for is food or drinks. Last year we didn't get back from doing all that until after 7pm but this year I'd like to be home earlier.

I'm feeling better today, not in as much pain as I have been. I've got to look for Kaleigh's winter clothes this weekend and pull out all the things she can still wear so I can determine how much money I'll need to spend on clothes. The great thing is that I think she can wear almost everything from last year. :)

Every day that passes we are one day closer to Melody's visit! I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait to see all of them again and I know Kaleigh is excited too. She asks every day if "Miss Melody" is coming.

I should have some pictures to post later on, depending on if anything exciting happens. I think the dryer is done so it's time to move everything and start a new load of laundry.

I'll write more later
