Sorry I haven't been a very good blogger lately; sometimes it's hard when it seems like there's so much going on, but at the same time it's like I have nothing to write about!
Last week was Fall Break, and it couldn't have come at a better time. I'm feeling burnt out much earlier than what's normal for me this year... so I was ready to have a little time away from students. For the most part, we just relaxed and did work around the house and yard. We managed to make a day trip to Connersville to see Chris' family. It was a lot of fun, especially since Chris hadn't seen his grandparents for a couple months. We got to see Claire as well, and she's REALLY excited about Halloween. She's such a girly girl, and she loves dressing up and playing with makeup... so Halloween is right up her alley. She's going to be "a pretty pink princess in a poofy dress". Hopefully Sheri will take pictures of her for me!
On Monday night Brian and Sarah came down for dinner and to watch the Colts game. Brian is Chris' good friend from high school, and he and Sarah have a 13 month old daughter named Brooklyn. Brooklyn is adorable; she's at the stage where she's trying really hard to talk and she's just starting to walk. We had a lot of fun, excluding the absolute horrible service we had a Cracker Barrel. I swear that waitress had to have been smoking crack or something... she forgot our orders, never refilled anything, and finally brought us a bottle of ketchup after asking her 3 times (and waiting 25 minutes for it). We're both glad that Brian and Sarah just moved to Greenfield from Indianapolis.
I've had a lot going on at work in addition to the regular stuff, so that's been a little overwhelming. I've also had a lot of students come down with the flu, so I've been trying extra hard to make sure everything in my classroom is super clean. That actually hasn't been too hard, since our corporation nurse gave me some heavy duty disinfectant cleaner because of the student with intestinal worms... I have to spray down everything she touched after she leaves daily until her doctor gives her a clean bill of health. The cleaner is actually what they use to clean surgery rooms in hospitals, so I'm confident it will kill any yucky things my students bring in with them.
Right now I'm looking forward to Halloween; we always get lots of trick or treaters, and having grown up in the country I get such a kick out of that!

Claire's costume sounds exactly like what I would have said! Especially the poofy dress part! :) I'm so glad I'm not the only one who enjoy's trick-or-treaters.. I'm anxiously awaiting my first ones, EVER! Mom and Dad only got like 2.. and they were always family, so they don't count.
I'm glad you enjoyed your fall break. We all need breaks at times.
Enjoy the trick-or-treaters!
