Plans

Well.  It would seem that "Columbia or Old St. Charles" translates into "Chesterfield Mall" in some languages, such as Husband.  Who knew?

Saturday was a fun day out.  First, we went to the Bush Wildlife Preserve and learned about venomous spiders and snakes, and poisonous plants.  Whee!  Then, we went somewhere I've never been for lunch.  Been to Chesterfield, MO?  Maybe you've heard of Mimi's Cafe.  Very yummy.  I recommend.  They cooked Josh's burger to a degree that he hadn't ordered, so we ended up with free muffins, and I never would have known about them otherwise.  They are GOOD.  Next time, I'm getting a cup of delicious soup and some of those darned muffins.  Yes, m'am.

After that, we went to Chesterfield Mall.  Josh wanted to go to Teavana.  I would like to say that again.  Josh, who for a decade has made fun of me for buying tea, wanted to go to TEAVANA.  Did you catch that?  Josh wanted to buy tea.  Yeah.  But it was Jasmine Mao Feng, so I can't even complain.  That, for those of you who don't already know, is my favorite tea.

We also visited many shops.  We bought waterproof gloves for the kids, so they can play in the snow this winter, and went to the V-Stop, where I found one of the 18 books I was looking for (actually, I found 2, but you know how I am about getting things for myself...) on sale for less than 6 dollars, and I even found a book that my ridiculously awesome cousin Missy recommended for my kids.  It was 3 dollars.  WIN!

I'm officially in the SubFinder system, but no work yet.  Tomorrow is a half day and parent-teacher conferences, so I'm not expecting to be called then, either.

Grant and Abbie have their conferences tomorrow, too.  Then, the plan is to go to my mom's house.  YAY!  We will spend Wednesday night there, and Thursday while Mom and Dad are at work.  Friday, I was going to hang out with my mom...but I just got an email saying there is a chance she'll get called in.  Well, that sucks.  I'm going back home Friday night. 

Saturday is the pumpkin patch.  I hope it is lots of fun, and I really, REALLY hope it doesn't rain.  Coldness can be fought against, but wetness is bad news.  My forecast hints at both.

I made an eye doctor's appointment.  I'm so excited; I've never had vision insurance before.  I tried to make it for a Monday morning, but that didn't work out, so I'm going in a week from Thursday.

None of my plans are working out.

Well, we are all happy and healthy here, how are you?  Well, happy for sure. 

I stayed for the Community Group practice after taiko on Sunday.  My back didn't do so well, so I'm going to take it easy tonight.  Not hard, since they will be practicing for a performance that I am not in.

The kids saw Ghostbusters for the first time this week.  Yeah....I forgot about most of the profanity.  My bad.  The kids are obsessed with Slimer.

Halloween Movie Lineup 2012:  Kiki's Delivery Service, Nightmare Before Christmas, Young Frankenstein, Little Shop of Horrors, Arsenic and Old Lace, Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Ware-Rabbit, Shawn the Sheep:  Little Sheep of Horrors, and possibly Spirited Away.  Naturally, in the interest of time, we will begin the movie viewing this weekend. 

I think Sunday is going to be Soup In A Breadbowl kind of weather.  What do you think?

Happy Tuesday!
