So I missed a few days didn’t I? I suddenly got busy. Tuesday was last minute school supply shopping, and a housing inspection. They come once a year to check out our appliances and furnace.  Of course my appointment was "between 7 and 11am" so my last day to sleep in wasn’t.  By the time the day ended I was ready for bed.

Wednesday was the first day of school! That was a relief for all of us. Of course my routine is all out of whack now, but starting Monday I’ll get it back. I hope anyhow.

Today I spent mostly playing my game and trying to relax. My jaw is finally not hurting. Hopefully it stays that way. To be honest, I have nothing worth blogging about. We do the same things day in and day out. I feel a little better about dealing with things as each day passes. Accepting that I have no control was a big help. We’ve gone a full week without bad news, that’s a really good thing.

The days go by faster with school being back, even though I am up earlier than summer, it still goes by much faster than it was. I try to no think how long it will be until I see him again, because it is truly daunting still. Instead I’m focusing on what I can do with the coming pay to make things awesome when he gets back.  And that’s my 5 things for today.

1. TV and cable in the bedroom. The kids stay up later these days, as they get older. And sometimes I, when it’s just me, and we when he’s home, just need some peace and quiet, and time to ourselves.

2. A new bed. Ours is going to collapse if I use it much longer. I’m hoping to find a nice headboard and frame set that suits us.

3. Get some pictures framed that I’ve been putting off for years.

4. Declutter!!

5. Decorate the bedroom a bit so it’s more cozy.
