Still busy as a bee!

This whole year is just flying by. I can't believe its almost Halloween, which means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. I am ready to get back to school. Even with hubby home, I am overwhelmed. My days are so long. I do have more free time. I will not pretend that I don't, but with 6 kids and a full time job... Its rough.
Paco dug under the fence. That was on October 20. The neighbors didn't see him, if he was running loose any other time, they'd definitely let us know. The pound didn't have him. So I can only assume the worst. He wasn't my favorite pet ever. He did have his moments though. He had the "little big man" syndrome. Barked at everyone and everything, except us. Goodbye, Paco.
The A/C broke at work yesterday around noon. I didn't get off until 5:30. By the time I got home my head was pounding. I woke up with it pounding. Needless to say, I took a sick day. I can't deal with other people's problems while nursing a migraine.
Last Friday night, I took C & L to see Paranormal Activity 3 and on Saturday, L & I went to the Hangman's House of Horrors. It wasn't as good as last year when I went with my friend JoBeth. But we had fun. C didn't want to go.
The kids are still doing good in school. L tried out for volleyball earlier in the year. She unfortunately didn't make the team. She tried out for basketball last week and this week. We should know tomorrow if she made it. I am proud of her for trying at least. She also ran for a student council position. You cant knock that girl down. C on the other hand wants to stay out of the spotlight.
I am trying to get ready for Christmas. I have been buying a few things here and there. The older girls are going to be the trickiest. They are at that age where what they want are things like laptops and high end cameras. I want an iPad myself. Those things look amazing. If I can pull that off, I told C she could have my laptop. Which is a pretty nice one.
We have had maybe 20 people transfer to new offices, 2 managers have taken positions elsewhere with the company, our attendance manager was either reassigned or opted for a change. Not sure which. It just sucks. It pays the bills though and I really need to finish school so I can take advantage of the tuition reimbursement.
I guess that's all I have for now. I am sure a lot more has happened this month. But I can barely recall things from last week. So this is just a check in.

September was rough and I have a great feeling about October

Hubby surprised me by coming home Thursday night. He told me he was going to try to get an earlier flight and for me to take a vacation day Friday. I was expecting to pick him up from the airport Friday afternoon. I WAS SO HAPPY YO SEE HIM! He surprised me with a tattoo of my name and at the ends were a scorpion tail and claws. The idea being he's a scorpio and I complete him. I love it. He brought me a tshirt from the tattoo place, another that says "west coast seabees" , a gift set with Paris Hilton cologne and a purse with a smaller bottle of the Rihanna cologne. I love gifts! :)
He came in and rescued me. Helped get the house clean & made dinner. I was back to being spoiled. I really needed the help. I have done my best but with everything going on and work, it still isn't good enough in my opinion. I think hubby is proud of me either way.
I have been considering a lot of things. I am thinking a new venue. I want to visit of course first but I'm thinking Jacksonville, Florida sounds nice. I've heard from a few people its a nice place to raise a family, its on the water and both Stephen and I can transfer there.
The little ones are loving preK. I'm so grateful to have a wonderful daycare for them too. They have been picking up Princess after school too.
I don't really have a lot on my mind right now. I am feeling blessed and relaxed. I haven't blogged in awhile because I've been seriously pooped and depressed but I think that may change soon. I'm at the park with the kids, except for C. For the first time that I can remember, she's at a restaurant with a girlfriend from school. L has always met up with friends and had sleep overs, not C. I'm glad she's breaking out of her shell a bit.
