I cannot
believe the kids are back in school and the holidays are around the corner.
Shit. I just finished paying for summer vacation and now I have to turn into
the fat man. I really want to meet this Father Time guy and kick him in his
balls.
Anyway, things
are back in full swing in our household. Soccer is starting, t-ball is in a
week, homework and school functions are back on the calendar. The weather is
even changing, albeit not like most places since in South Florida a cool front
just means it will be 88 instead of 95. But, there is no denying, Fall is in
the air. Walk in any store and you will already see it. The seasonal spiced
apple scented candles and room sprays and pumpkins and Halloween decorations.
I am trying
to get excited about the holidays this year and thanks to Wal-Mart and Toys R
Us offering layaway, it might actually happen. I might actually get my shopping
done early for the first time in four years. I won’t know how to act if I am
not racing around trying to find the toy company’s latest ”bend me over”, oops
I mean “wind me up” toy. I can’t help but make that mistake because it sure
feels like we have been bent over. The holidays are definitely expensive. I
guess I could save some money on those room sprays and just buy Ethan some
fruit snacks. Problem solved.
