Friday Confessional

Voting
I usually vote straight party, but like to fill in each individual bubble as opposed to the one that could save me a little time.  I think it makes me look like a much more concerned citizen if I fill them in individually. 

Husband
Chris is gone for a few days with some friends and so I got to take today off to stay home with the girls.  I have been looking forward to this all week.  He needs to go away more often so I can skip work.

Finally a vehicle
We made it a little over a month as a one-vehicle family.  Let’s hope we never have to do that again.  We ended up buying a Nissan Xterra.  Chris loves it and is already trying to convince me to drive the minivan so he can drive the SUV.  No way, dude, no way.    

Dishwasher
I’m going to see if I can make it three full days without unloading the dishwasher.  Next to cleaning toilets, that is my least favorite chore.  We’ll just have to eat out a lot while Chris is gone.

Baskets
I wish I would have remembered to get all the groceries for our church’s Thanksgiving baskets before Chris left.  We fill them up with food and bring them back to church on Sunday; this year we are doing two of them.  And now I have to take two little girls with me to buy all the food.  Ugh.

Halloween
I still have Halloween decorations outside.  And they really need to come down, but yesterday we had a light dusting of snow and now I don’t want to go outside.  It’s too cold.  I think I’ll wait until next week when it’s supposed to be in the 60s.  Sorry, neighbors, one more week of the pumpkin and witch decor.
