You know, I don't think I'm that old...yet time sure does seem to be flying on hyper speed lately!!

We have done way too much running around this week to suit me. I am such a homebody. It was all necessary stuff...just too much in one week.

Monday, we were home. That day was filled with laundry and school...and normal Monday doings.

Tuesday, Thomas and I had our monthly trip to town, just the two of us. I really enjoy these trips alone with my son. He was quite talkative and we so enjoyed the time together. We both got hair cuts. Then it was off to his orthodontist appmt. I was so thankful to find that it was a quick trip, instead of the hour and a half trip like last month. We got there 15 minutes early, and were leaving the office about the time his appmt was scheduled. That was cool! We then stopped at Walgreen's. I just love the deals I find!!!

We wanted lunch together, so instead of fast food...we went for Chinese buffet. My, was that pricey! It was $17.50 for the two of us! Yes, Thomas is 13, so we pay adult price for him now..but lunch on a Tuesday? We probably won't do that one again. After lunch, we went to CVS. Not alot of great deals, but a few. We bought Daddy a candy bar and a drink..then stopped at Home Depot to give it to him. It's always such a treat to get to see his smiling face during the day!

We left there and picked up a few things at Wal Mart. Thomas is gearing up for hunting season. He is determined to get a deer this year! He needed camo pants...we found the overall pants...bought those and a few other needed items and headed home.

Let's see...Wednesday....it was piano day. We went to piano, then off to pick up a friend of Rebecca's. The gal we buy milk from had invited Rebecca to go horseback riding with her and her sisters. The other friend was also invited, so we picked her up on our way to get milk. (confused?!) Got milk, left Rebecca and her friend and headed home. We came home to have lunch and start a bit of schoolwork. Then it was time to head back to our piano teacher's home (also my very good friend!). We needed to feed her BIL his lunch. He's a 50+ year old man with the mental age of 5. She had some work outside to do, so we took care of lunch for him. Back home...to do more school work and wait for Rebecca to call. Ran back over to pick her up, drop her friend off and came home to find Honey already home. Time to make supper and call it a day!

Today was laundry day...along with school work and some housework. The weather is turning cooler..and the wind was sure blowing today. The forecast is for heavy rain tonight and tomorrow.

Which leads me to tomorrow's plans. We had planned to go with two friends to Travellers Rest Plantation in Nashville for their 19th Century Trades Days. With a 90% chance of rain, up to one inch....we decided not to go. Most all of the activities are outside...and it's such a long drive....I felt it was best to cancel. I sure hope that rain materializes or I'm gonna feel silly for canceling!

Tomorrow is Honey's last day of work for 9 whole days!!! Yepper, it's vacation time for my beloved!!!! I have a list started of all I'd like to accomplish during this week off from work and school. But, most of all, I just want to spend time with my Honey. I so love being with him. He's my very best friend in all the world.
