The last Friday of October

The last weekend of October...I just don't understand how we got here so quickly.  I can't believe it has been four weeks since we've seen Robert at his graduation at the end of September.  It's really crazy.

The last Friday of October means the end of football season.  Normally it would mean the end of marching band is close, but we still have another two weeks due to the competition schedule.  This is not only an entire week later than normal, but swim practices are beginning a week earlier as well.  So while we normally go directly from marching band to swim with no break, this year we actually have two full weeks of overlap.  Nothing I love about that!

Catherine is taking her driving test after school today.  I'll be honest, I am absolutely terrified at the thought of her having her license.  Generally speaking I think she is ready, but I don't think I am.  While Robert often made poor choices in life, I was more confident in his abilities behind the wheel.  I am concerned that Catherine sometimes doesn't pay attention to the world around her.  I'm not necessarily hoping that she doesn't pass...I just can't imagine this whole experience!  My biggest concern is Thomas being in the vehicle with her and causing distractions.

It's really looking like fall around here.  The leaves are nearing their peak color (about a week late) and it's very pretty outside.  It's also been much cooler than average.  While I enjoy cooler weather, I miss the days of fall when it's the perfect temp outside.  We haven't had too many of those this year.

It's been a crazy week with subbing every day, and it's also the culmination of our band fundraiser, so I've been working on pretty much nothing but that in my "free" time.  I should be finished with that by tomorrow morning, and then I can pick up the house and take of laundry...and all those other "fun" things that are waiting for me!
