My Never Ending List

I had planned on playing Halloween Bingo this year. I finally got my books organized at home ( if only I’d quit buying more) and I got most of them organized online but I’m still way behind on my ARC’s and my other projects at home. I’m excited to see all the posts about your future reads, surrounding this event, as I plan on reading as many Halloween tales as I can, I just won’t be filling in a card.  

I feel that my reading has taken a drastic downward dive lately as I’ve tried to tackle some projects that I’ve thrown in the corner for years. This year, we’ve had some great news and some interesting changes that has caused me to “wake up” and finally start doing these projects that have been looming in the back of my mind.  Boy, does it feels great to finally see light at the end of the tunnel with only one project left- one big box of photos/cards & a computer filled with photos that need dates/info filled in. 

Now, for the the great news. My youngest son had their first child in July. We welcomed Calloway into the world and he’s been such fun. My husband and I, go over weekly to visit and I’ve been preparing a few meals each week to help them adjust to being parents. I’ve decided to quit being a substitute teacher, to stay home and watch him when Calloway’s mom goes back to work. I’ll be watching my grandson everyday.  I’m excited and I know my free time will be limited again, hence why I had to get projects done now.  More news! A couple weeks, my oldest son & his wife informed us that they were expecting. Yes, baby #2 for them is coming in January.  My granddaughter is excited and it will definitely be big changes for her. I’m still picking up my granddaughter from school one day a week, so the cousins will have time to be together weekly. 

I’ve had some interesting changes as I’ve been helping out my parents more. It started with snow shoveling last year and it has just grown. I’ve learned a few things by being over there more ( they live about 10 minutes away- now that we moved). Did you know, that if you get medicine from the doctor that you should take it? That you have to take ALL the medicine and not just some of them each day? That you shouldn’t click on all the ads on your computer or you might get a virus? That you can’t keep meat in the freezer for years? Its sad to see your parents get old but I’m glad that I’m able to help them.

hopefully, I’m back to reading now.  Keep them books coming!
