Grounded........

I had visions of doing some fall frolicking with Mads this weekend......but that seems like it is not in the cards....Gabe had senior night last night, which was so special, but he is coming down with some crud now:( He planned on going to a retreat at our church and now that seems to be dashed........He has always had an uncanny knack for having his immune system do what it needs to until about Halloween......so we are grounded a little closer to home this weekend, but I am good at plan b.....and that is what my new plan is......I have books to deliver, and more books to sell, and I will take care of that.....do some more cleaning out.......run some errands.....I need to paint my dining room too soon.... and do some things....so I may get my head around some of that.....I also have some reading to do, so perhaps just sitting and reading may be on the docket too:).....I am a little bummed....this fall has been beautiful, and brilliantly so, and it seems like I haven't had as much time as I have wanted to to get out and enjoy based on circumstance.....but I am accepting what is and rolling with it......trusting what is meant for us is....I plan on cozying in with my first fire in the fireplace later too, so that is something I always look forward to:) I am still trying to purchase groceries, and plan food for us around not having a kitchen, and I came up with some other ideas this week so I am putting some of that together.....and really no matter the circumstance.....a weekend with my kids is always my favorite:).....I love hanging with them, even if we are home....so that is my plan! Taking care of stuff that needs to be.....getting Halloween costumes organized.....we are still trying to figure out Gabe for his senior dress up day....Mads and I are looking for some cool things for him.....she is going to be a witch and got the cutest little witch costume....she loves it....and I have a track suit 80s thing we did at my school.....so I will use it for both.....a cozy family weekend won't be a bad plan b at all....going to get to the business of getting my boy healthy, and back in the game. I was so proud of Gabe last night and his senior self......a part of something he loves......it is all I have ever wanted for him indeed:) We are enjoying the blessings indeed! Enjoy the weekend y'all:)
