Monday, Monday..........can’t stop that rain........
I am sitting here all by myself again. Both kids are in school, and the in-laws chose to outrun the storm, leaving early this morning. I am watching the rain outside as Hurricane IDA approaches. A phone call just came from the school announcing that schools will be closed tomorrow. I guess I should be nervous, but I am not. My neighbor says were staying with them to avoid any 2am scares, however I think not. I am looking forward to staying in my own bed tonight. They are such wonderfully thoughtful people, and I am so happy they are in our lives right now.
The house is clean, and I am extremely relaxed. Closing down my store gets me all excited knowing that I can concentrate on so many other things. I am so excited to make Olivia a few winter staples, as well as make some more tees for Nicolas. I really want to dive into cooking and baking again this season. It is a lovely way to give to others during the holiday season. Of course, I want to make it extra special for hubby’s return, and although he has stayed away from sweets for almost a year now, he will not be able to resist my cooking. Right?
I bought myself a new camera lens this weekend. Nothing too expensive. Took my recent earnings and bought a Canon 50mm 1.8F and it is lovely. Crisp, sharp pictures. Also am in the middle of taking an online class for RAW processing to improve the quality of my editing.
I was hoping that I could get some sewing done this week with no soccer practices, the house being so clean, but now that the kids will be home, I may have to change my plans.
The kids had a lovely time with their grandparents. Nicolas loved having a man in the house again. He needs to be rough every once and while, and Grandpa Bill gave him alot of attention. Olivia loved all the attention, and I surely enjoyed the relief. ♥
