I went to the levee
We are in our whirlwind again, Halloween tomorrow, here a meeting there a meeting, and I feel caught up and not caught up, if you get the difference.
“SLOW DOWN AND EVERYTHING YOU ARE CHASING WILL COME AROUND AND CATCH YOU.” – John De Paola
Tin had his first sleep over on Saturday – Jared spent the night and they slept – it was a miracle. Then Tin wanted to be Thomas the Train for Halloween but I creatively changed that strategy and instead of creepy ass Thomas, he is now Soul Train with Don Cornelius’ face instead.
I ran to the Farmer’s Market this morning to pick up the Halloween suckers – orange pumpkins and purple bats for the grade’s kids to hand out to the nursery kids. I ran into my friend and we grabbed a coffee and went up on the levee and sat out in the sunshine – it got cold here this weekend, suddenly very cold for us, and we were in coats and hats etc, but thankfully it is warming up a little and we sat on the grass and soaked in the rays and caught up.
Early this morning on my walk, I ran into my friend who told me the catch phrase of the day is, “we got that covered” and so today, sitting there with my friend catching up on work, kids, and life we got it all covered.
Tomorrow begins a long rest of the week that includes trick or treating, two days off of school and a grand playdate here, and then a train trip to Picayune to visit the street fair. Lots on the bucket list and yet, we are only just getting started.
