wordless thursday

11.6.08

I was hoping to post my first “wordless wednesday” post yesterday. But, I was too under the weather to do it. So, since today and the next several days are also wordless, I can still use the title. But, I haven’t even gotten to take any pictures. So, this wordless entry is only because I am verbally wordless not because I’m not using any words (obviously, this post has words). For someone who isn’t talking, that’s a lot of rambling.

My vocal cord surgery was succesful as far as we know. But, this feeling yucky and no talking is getting to me already. It’s only been 2 days and I’m pretty frustrated. The kids just got back last night from my mom and dad’s house where they had a ball. And, my mom even stayed around today to help me with them. She took them out for a while to the mall to give me quiet which was nice. But, I’m still feeling pretty frustrated. I just want to feel better and be able to talk.

How long would you be able to go without speaking a word?

Buzz, Army man, and pirate princess on Halloween. Trick or treating, of course, was a blast. They enjoyed giving out candy at our house as much as getting it though, which is nice. Yesterday, we put all the Halloween decos away and pulled out our turkey placemats. After MONTHS of prepping for Halloween and talking about Halloween and reading Halloween books and looking at costume catalogs, we’re moving on. I’m glad!

Evan’s harvest festival

10.31.08

Schools around here no longer do Halloween parades in costume. Is that universal? Instead, all the kids were told to wear jeans and plaid shirts to look like farmers/scarecrows and they had games outside and some special snacks for what they called a “harvest festival.” I love Halloween parades and seeing all the kids in costume. Too bad.

Kelly Raudenbush: Guest Speaker

10.31.08

The library breakfast was this morning. It was a lot of fun. I met elected officials from the local county area as well as trustees and other officials for the Chester County Library. After eating some breakfast and hearing some introductions, I got up and shared a little bit about my experience at our library and then read my essay. I really enjoyed being invited to do it and getting up there to share. Unfortunately, I had to take off right after I was done since Mark had to get to work and was staying with Drew until I got back. I would have liked to mingle longer with the people there and even ask some questions. Oh well. If there’s a next time, then I’ll do that next time.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
