Colts Lost! Hiss, Boo!

Yesterday, Meg rode with some folks to attend a Halloween party near Cincinnati that her best friend Tiffany had.  She didn't get home all that early today, since she was riding with others...but in the meantime, the decision was made that the children would come home prior to the big Colts vs. Patriots game, rather than after (since it was a late game).  Unfortunately, the Colts lost by four points in the last minutes of the game, after having led the entire rest of the time.  Meg was so put out, she just shut down the TV before the end. 

I worked my butt off again this weekend, but I can say (for once) that every single bit of laundry in the entire house was done and put away.  I even managed to do a little vacuuming!  Interestingly enough, the children didn't want that much to eat all evening.  I thought they'd want to launch into Halloween candy, but it wasn't even mentioned.  They were relatively good all afternoon/evening, with a few glitches here and there. 

Ryan's 4-year-old birthday will be celebrated next weekend at Grandma Judy's house.  I would have had it here, but the house (with four of us) would take a major undertaking to be clean enough for company.  God bless the little guy...he is such a sweetie...but somewhere along the line, he jumped from Winnie the Pooh to Spiderman.  I still want him to be my little guy!  <sigh>

I know there are those out there who are wondering how we survive in this little house.  It isn't easy...but there is a move in the works to transform the garage into another room.  I have a couple of folks arranged to provide an estimate...then have to find funding.  A huge chunk of Meg's paycheck goes for child care.  She pays me another huge chunk for rent and food.  For awhile, we can survive...if we can provide another room.  She simply isn't financially able to take on a place of her own until the children are both in school.  We are doing the best we can!

Field trip at school this week.  I need to get a lesson plan together for the kids who aren't going.  Another task!

Blessings..
