NOVEMBER COME AND GONE

I can't believe a whole month has passed in the blink of an eye!
Updates- L didn't make the basketball team. Next we will look forward to track in the spring. She is on the debate team however. I spent most of one Saturday this month back and forth at her school during a tournament she was in. I'm still proud of her for trying so hard.
Halloween was fun. We went to trunk or treat at LBC. Bounce houses, face painting, and of course candy! Thanksgiving was nice and quiet. My sis-in-law spent the whole holiday in the hospital- complications with anemia/blood cell count. But my bro-in-law & their 2 kids as well as hubby's mom (she drove in from AL) came over and there was plenty of food.
I didn't do much for Black Friday because luckily I've pretty much finished my shopping. I'm thinking now of a few odds and ends that might be nice but I think I got something everyone wants.
I participated in this daily list of things I'm thankful for on face book this month. It was nice to spend a few minutes each day reflecting on the good things in my life.
Work sucks. I totally hate my job. It is like torture mentally. I have to remind myself that I could be doing much harder work on the physical job level but mentally, I don't think there's anything worse. The only other professions I can think of where you know ahead of time you'll be deep in shit are proctologists and plumbers and I wouldn't want to do either one of those either. As the years go by and my kids get older and need more things, I feel more and more trapped there. My dream of becoming a nurse just seems that much further out of reach.
Things are good at home. The kids are enjoying school and doing well. Potty training the twins is not going as well as expected but in the works. I have also gained so much weight but I'm too tired/busy to do anything about it. I am hoping that when I get my new year's resolutions made up I can make some changes in diet and attitude but I'll give myself til the end of the year to be fat and miserable. I have been reading the same book for about 6 months. I just have no time for myself.
I have seen some movies and went to see Paul Mooney @ the Improv with hubby. That was amazing! Felt like a part of history! I won an autographed art book from The Immortals movie in a contest on facebook. That was a nice surprise. Everyone is mostly happy and healthy so I can't complain too much. Hopefully I'll be able to post more during December.
