Is It Really October?

So where did September go anyway? It's amazing how fast time marches on, isn't it? Pretty soon we'll all be putting on costumes and walking around the building. Then we'll blink and we'll all be eating turkey and gearing up for the holidays. I'm willing to bet that my mom has already started her Christmas shopping! Are any of your mom's like that? Do they shop for Christmas, Hanukkah, and/or your birthday months before the actual event? My mom is often the target of much ridicule and teasing for being so overly prepared, but honestly, I think it's great. Whatever the holiday or occasion, she sets the table several days in advance. Her shopping is always done weeks before any event, and every package is beautifully wrapped. And although we tease her, she makes everything so nice for our family. She always gets me a small "teacher" present at the start of every year - usually something for my classroom. Whatever it is, my mom always makes things special. What are some things your mom's do that make you feel special?

I forgot what you guys look like - I mean you've had 4 DAYS OFF this weekend! I had a good weekend too....I've hung out with friends, went to a baby shower, did some shopping, and spent time with my family. Hopefully the Browns will win again, too! I'll be watching them at the clambake I'm going to later. What did you do? How did some of you celebrate Rosh Hashannah?

Oh, about leaving me comments on the blog; in order to not have "Anonymous" appear on your comment, sign up for an account. You can pick a "secret name" if you want, but you have to at least tell me first so I know who I'm talking to. If you don't want to do that, you must at least identify yourself at the end of your comment, or I will not post your comment. Sorry, but those are the "rules." As always, use proper grammar and spelling.

Well, that's about it. See everyone tomorrow!
