Oops!

It doesn't seem possible that it's been over a month since my last post. Schoolwork, and all the daily trappings have kept me away from this page. *sigh* Although not all of it has been work that's been keeping me occupied.


One of my classes has finished for the semester. Yay! That much closer to completing the certificate requirements, and that much closer, hopefully, to employment. It is definitely time to rejoin the workforce. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will find a job quickly. I worry that since I have been unemployed for a while, that employers will find me unemployable. Lack of self-confidence tends to eat at my brain.

Halloween is right around the corner, and I'm far from prepared. Pumpkins haven't been carved, decorations are still in boxes in the basement, and the candy hasn't been purchased. Our youngest son has bugged me since we got the pumpkins over a week ago to carve the things. He also informed me he wants to be an "Angry Bird" for Halloween. No such luck. Bad idea to wait one week before Halloween to think I could purchase one of those costumes. It's the hot costume this year, and unless we wanna shell out $90 for a $40 costume, it's not gonna happen. Unfortunately, he doesn't have back-up plan, so unless he can decide something quickly, he will go as a ninja for the fourth year in a row. I doubt I could convince him to dress up as a steam punk. I want to dress as one!

It's a short entry this time, but homework awaits me! Happy Halloween, and maybe I'll have the decorations out in time for Thanksgiving!
