10/27 Kids Back in the Classroom

We had a special treat for breakfast!  Fresh cinnamon rolls, not made from scratch, made from a tube!  But they do get the ball rolling on a positive start for the day!  Brita drove the boys to school and then went to an appointment.  This is a stage that Brita is enjoying, just for the fact that all 3 boys are in the same school at the same time, and she gets a chance to breath and remember that she really is herself again, not a mom with some of the kids at home most of the time.  I remember that time for myself, not sure if I should tell anyone how freeing it felt to do things on my own again!  There was always the mom guilt, and I had been working fulltime so that was, of course, a break from being a stay-at-home mom.  But knowing that I didn't have to worry about daycare and drop-offs and pick-ups was such a good change!  So, what is Brita going to do with all her newfound free time?  Why, get a job, of course!  It's not fulltime and it's not healthcare related, but something convenient and a step to getting back to feeling employed again.

We heard from Ben today, he got to go ocean fishing and look what he wound up with -

This afternoon Bob and I did some cleaning up and reorganizing in the trailer to get it ready to roll.  It was 50 degrees and partly cloudy.  We had a yummy pasta night, topped off with s'mores and popcorn and watching ET together.  It's a hit every time!​​
