1. I am LOVING autumn so far. I love the cooler weather, the turning leaves, the warm colors and the fabulous smells.

I had to show her off, she's so beautiful. Made for me on request by
xsprite at
nightbreeze_gfx. I may ask her to make me a few more for the other seasons!
Anyway, HAPPY AUTUMN to my co-Northern-Hemisphere peeps! (I don't think I HAVE any Southern Hemisphere peeps, but I figured I better differentiate, just in case.) *hee*
2. Mikey's doing so well in school this year! No behavior issues so far, AND he's keeping a B+ average. Way cool.
3. Just renewed both
Oblivion and
The Stillest Day (Josephine Hart) at the library; OT takes away a lot of good reading time, unfortunately. I also put holds on five other books. They are
A Game of Thrones (George R.R. Martin),
The Stolen Child (Keith Donohue),
Letter to a Christian Nation (Sam Harris),
The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho) and
A Wrinkle In Time (Madeleine L'Engle).
4. While typing this, Mikey JUST broke his glasses. He needs new ones anyway, but DAMMIT, THAT WAS HIS ONLY. PAIR. GOD, I don't get this kid sometimes. I was NEVER like this. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't he listen and be careful? Rhetorical questions, no need to answer them. I know I wasn't any shade of "normal" as a kid. It's just so frustrating. I'm just shaking with anger, I can't even talk to him right now. God, I'm a horrible mom.
Matt's got to make a special trip now to go get some super glue, because tape isn't working. Jesus, he broke them right in the middle, like Harry's glasses in PS.
5. I think I have a temper problem. I've noticed it gets worse as I get older. I just want people to fucking listen to me and do what I damn well tell them to do. The first time, and immediately. I understand if they're in the middle of something, but for the love of God, if I tell you to be careful and not to do something, then acknowledge that you understood me, and prove it - BE CAREFUL AND DON'T DO THAT THING! HOW FUCKING DIFFICULT IS IT?
Sorry. [/TANTRUM].
6. Going to the 3D "Toy Story" double feature this coming Saturday. :) Can't wait.
7. Uhh... That must be it. I forget so many things recently. *sigh* How's everything with the rest of you, especially those I don't talk with too often?
