Pro: We lit a fire last night and enjoyed its warmth while we watched TV.
Con: Showering when the house is freezing at 6:00 a.m.
Pro: Oh shoot...can't think of another one.
Con: I exchanged my summer clothes for my winter ones.
Con: My nose is running because I'm cold.
Con: It seems like there is way more laundry when we start wearing bulkier clothing.
Con: My skin is already getting so dry...despite plenty of moisturizing. A return of my eczema is just around the corner I'm sure.
Clearly - I am not enjoying this weather! Really, I truly like fall. I'm just not ready for it to be this cold yet. I'm not ready to haul out my coats. I am enjoying the changing leaves and all that...but I would take a few more days in the 70's, please.
Lunch yesterday was embarrassing. I looked at the tray of one of my co-workers and asked him what those green little heads of lettuce were. Apparently, I've never seen a brussel sprout in my life. I'm not going to lie...I got made fun of. A lot. I'm 36 years old and have never seen them...much less eaten them. In my mind they looked a lot more like a bean sprout...or something sprout-like. Or maybe like asparagus (which I am not sure I have ever eaten either, by the way, but I DO know what it looks like).
Luke brings home a self-report each Friday that gives us an idea of how his week went. They rate their behavior, tell something they need to work on, and then tell about something they learned through the week. He usually rates his behavior as "Excellent", but yesterday he marked it as "Good", and said he needed to work on talking less. When your mom is a teacher...that's not okay. Especially when you ask him about it and he tells you that he's the one who starts the talking. You see...when you're a teacher, you know that teachers' kids are either the best kids you'll ever have...or the worst. Seriously. I am determined that my kid will not be in the latter category. He knows that some of his favorite things are on the line if we hear that he doesn't get his under control. Poor kid...
That about wraps up the random things I'm thinking about this morning!
