November

November is upon us. Wow!
Morgan's Halloween party was a hit, I guess she had kids upset with her that they weren't invited and "everyone" was talking about her party. Does that mean I am a cool mom now? I guess this is going to become a Halloween tradition. I had a good time, Morgan hangs out with some pretty good kids.
Blair was interviewing for a job at Hill Air Force Base. He went through the first interviews and made the cut, and they flew him to Ohio for the next set. He got back today. We thought he'd have it for sure, but they gave to to someone else. I'm trying to be happy for the other guy-he needed it pretty bad too, but I'm really struggling with this. I guess I'm used to getting my way.:)
He's been out of work for about a year and a half now, and it's really getting to me--It's tough having him underfoot all the time and depressed---
David has been having a super hard time at school, bad enough I'd call it regression. His teacher got a new rewards system in place (with some motivators from me...Legos, action figures....) and he had his first good day in weeks. I hope it lasts. Yesterday I was having to wrestle him onto the bus while he kicked and screamed. Yesterday was probably his worst day this year.
I am sick, AGAIN! This time it's some respiratory thing, I have a cough and I feel like someone is sitting on my chest. I also have a lovely "smokers" voice.
Morgan came home from school sick today, she has the barfy's. She seems to be doing better tonight, hopefully she'll be OK to go to school tomorrow.
On a lighter note (after all my whining) Broden is doing well and most days enjoys school. He's been a great motivator getting us to church and is taking his preisthood responsibilities seriously. I'm very proud of him. He's started writing stories, and he's pretty good. I'm impressed with his abilities. Of course it could be I'm just a bit biased.
Tomorrow I tackle applesauce making for the first time ever. I hope I don't poison my family. :) Tonight I made chili with my garden tomatoes, I am kinda proud of myself. Again, I hope I don't poison anyone.
Off to feed the fam! TTFN
