Babies, work, football weather, and a few other things...

Well, it happened again... someone else died in my family. I hate to sound so flippant, but I'm sooo tired of going to funerals!! This is #5 for us since the end of April. #6 if you count the total in the last 11 months. In fact, I skipped this last funeral. It wasn't someone I was extremely close to, but when anyone dies it affects me. And lately, anything affects me. I have been crying at the drop of a hat, sometimes for a good reason and sometimes for no reason at all!  So, for the 2 people that read this... if I see you and I have watery eyes, I'm ok :0)

On a happier note, my new little cousin is so adorable. She's so tiny. I think it's easy to forget how little newborns are until you hold one. I have a good friend from high school that also had a baby recently and I'm really hoping to go see them next week. They live in Columbia and I haven't seen her in years, yep years. She stayed in Columbia after college and I continued on in school in Rock Hill, so we just haven't crossed paths. But, we have kept in touch and I miss seeing her and a lot of my friends from the pre-college years. It can be so hard to stay in touch when people are married, have kids, and "real jobs" to keep them busy. I have to say, though, I at least know what most of my "old" friends are doing and how they have been even if I haven't actually laid eyes on them in a few years. 

This is quite a rambling post so I'm going to continue jumping around and talk about work. It's been very very busy the past week or so. It's been going well, just busy. I just can't seem to get ahead, which is where I like to be. So, I'm not actually behind, and that's good. The kids I've had, though, just seem to be taking up so much time, and it's only the 7th week of school! I've got two K students who are bouncing off the walls, literally!! Unfortunately I can't glue them to a chair so we are working on getting them to settle down. If they both weren't so darn cute we would have an even bigger problem!

Well I am definitely loving this weather! I love fall!! I love that you can go out in a t-shirt and jeans and feel good. I can't wait for homecoming this year at Clemson. Alex and I don't plan to go to the game, but just tailgate and catch up with friends, which is what I really care about. So if anyone that reads this is one of those tailgating friends, we are planning to be there in November!
