We unfortunately had a pretty uneventful Halloween this year. My poor Mini-me (the oldest) ended up with strep throat. I didn’t know that’s what she had until yesterday at the clinic, but with a 103.4 on Friday afternoon, trick or treating was out. Mini-T (the youngest) went with Daddy and friends as planned to downtown Edmond and then out to eat afterward. She had a great time, and hopefully next year we can all enjoy. I’m thinking Halloween party. We’ll see.

When I went into Walmart (Did you know they were dropping the hyphen?) first thing November 1st to pick up Reia’s prescription, I was greeted by a 12 foot already decorated Christmas tree. Ok, the greeter actually said “Good Morning”, but the tree was there none the less.

As I walked around, I heard the Christmas music playing. I strolled through the decor that had filled the garden area. It was kind of surreal. This year is almost over. Why does time go by so much faster the older you become?

In normal Robin fashion, I have a spreadsheet all ready with names, gift ideas and budget. When I find a good deal, I pick it up. So, about 1/4 of my Christmas shopping is already done. Yay!

Okay, I’m rambling and didn’t really have a point to begin with. Hope y’all had a great Halloween and enjoy the holiday season. I’m certainly looking forward to Thanksgiving at my mom’s and our first Christmas with just Terry, the girls and myself.

If I have something worthwhile to say over the next few months, I will. But my thoughts are generally consumed with lesson plans, menu plans, and grocery lists.
