You know those days when you need to write because so much is on your mind but you can't write anything because your thoughts are so scattered? Well, I am having one of those days. My mind is full of thoughts racing every which way, but I can't hold on to one thought long enough to get it on paper! I am sitting at the bookstore drinking a coke and thinking of everything I have to do today, and tomorrow, and the next week for that matter. I am thinking about money and the fact that we don't have any. I am thinking about Cleaning and how I have this really strong urge to deep clean my entire house, but I know that 3 hours after I finished it would be a mess again. That does not mean that I won't clean it, I just won't be as excited about it. I need about 4 more rooms in my house. I keep thinking that someday, something will change, and I am sure it will, I just wish that someday was today! I am trying to learn patience in many areas of my life. Such as the desire for a different house, more kids, having the internet at our house...you know, the small things in life! :) Did you know that it is almost November? Where does the time go? Caleb and I will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary in a week or so. That is exciting.

I would stay and write more, but Donovan is calling.

Hooray for fall, cooler weather, changing colors, and coffee. It is a lovely Sunday afternoon in October, it is cooler outside and I am sitting, listening to my little man jabber instead of napping and drinking a lovely cup of coffee. Hunting season began Friday and my husband spent yesterday between the woods, work and the woods again. He knows once gun season starts he will be working a lot more, so he is doing all he can to spend time in the woods now! I am ok with that, maybe he will bring home some meat!

Donovan is growing up before my eyes. He only has his top 2 teeth, he  does the army crawl and refuses to walk unless he is holding both of your hands and even then he will not let go! He has a death grip on my fingers and if I pull one out, he immediately stops walking and usually sits down. He is so precious though. He is beginning to get into testing authority. He is doing all he can to get his own way. He is really getting into these high pitched screams and seeing how long it will take before I take action, which is usually just about half a second after he starts screaming!

Caleb and I are doing well. We are ready for the cooler weather and sitting outside and drinking coffee on the porch. The next couple weeks are going to be spent fall cleaning, and trying to organize the basement and make it as warm as possible for winter. Since our washer and dryer is down there it is much better motivation to do laundry when I don't have to put on my winter coat and shoes to do it!
Well, my mind is running in 3 different directions now of things I want to get done, so I will leave you with the picture of Donovan from the wedding we went to on Friday. Isn't he handsome?!
