Why I love fall!

The leaves are pretty and the falling temperatures make getting in the car at noon much more tolerable. But what makes this time of the year the one that I look forward too most?? Could be... going to sleep at 10 pm knowing that all the bodies up stairs are also in bed (hopefully sleeping), the relief at 8:10 am when all the kids are in the hands of very tolerant and capable teachers, maybe its the sun that sets before i get tired and not an hour after making me feel like an even older lady than I am... ALL these things are great. However, every September I begin to get anxious as I begin to see commercials for the fall shows ... what will be back? What will be cancelled? Will any of these new shows be the next big hit? Is my DVR empty, full, what can i delete? This week was filled with Fall Premiers, The Office, Earl, ER, Law and Order SUV... yes I am a self proclaimed sit-com, night-time drama junkie (within moderation everything within moderation). No doubt I love putting reality in my pocket for 24 or 45 minutes to laugh, mock, solve or critique the "shows" as we so lovingly call them. Maybe I should get a life... but why. So not the leaves, school, temperature, bedtime but TV is why I love fall!

The Girls:

Lacy Jane is now in 4th grade... girls are so fun // ha ha ha // she is a social butterfly with those lovely girly emotions quickly developing. I sometimes wish i could lock her in a box and keep her there until she is 30.

Shelby (Lulu) is in 2nd grade, we are just hoping that her teacher actually hears her speak this year. She is quiet but has plenty of freinds her best freind being her sister. I am grateful every-day that they have each other!!

The Boys:

Darren is still working at SPS as a Network administrator, which means that he is going to hate that i am using blogger.com as he is a techie nerd and wants all things running on his network...or server... or something that makes a loud noise in the basement.

Andre is in 8th grade, is an avid blogger, taking a very cool radio documentary class... (hopefully I can get his pieces on here?) He is an incredible writer and if all else fails I will make him write this blog also.

Branden Lee is in 7th grade, he is still a gamer and spends a good amount of time in some land of which I cannot understand.

Well I guess I/we are going to give this a go...

How unsocial of me to decide to do this simply because I have found that it is not only informational but easier than making a phone call or planning a get-together.
I found myself on a couple of my cousins' blogs today and realized that within 5 reading minutes I had scanned the past few months of their lives while laughing at the Price is Right in the back-ground. Thats a good deal!!
Maybe its worth it for me to offer the same service or maybe it will be nice for me to have these days of our lives documented.
So here is the update...
I have started a business (sort-of in progress) called G.O. -get organized- organizing purging, deep cleaning etc. I have already had a couple of interesting jobs and hope that business will continue and I can make it legit... That is my AD so feel free to spread the word. Hoping to have a business blog up soon with before and after pics.
