I made-over my diary for fall.  Comments?  Complaints?  Suggestions?  Do share.  🙂

Missing the boy a bit even though it’s only been a few days and only a few more until he returns on Tuesday night.  I hate to feel so wishy-washy over him being gone just a week but alas I am a puddle.  However when Matt does return he will be back on our "normal" schedule so that will make life a lot more pleasant.  I figure I paid my pennance when we were doing long distance and I can whine about this now because I do know how much worse it can be.  I hope he is enjoying his time at home in Colorado with the family even though I know he is.  I don’t really even need to ask him if he’s having a good time, he does that automatically.  I’d love to be there but someone has to stay home and take care of the Widget.

I am in a baking mood so I am going to head off to the store eventually and buy fixings for a spiced pumpkin pie.  It’s got some molasses in it which makes everyone go "ew" but I bet it won’t be so bad.  It’s something new and different so why not?  I’m sure only Matt and I will be eating it anyway so only our taste buds will be grossed out if that is the case.  🙂  If the recipe turns out to be any good I’ll go ahead and share it with everyone even though all I did was browse around online and hoodwinked it from someone else.

So far this weekend I have been super lazy, the most productive thing I have done was washing all of the sheets and rotating the mattress with Widget’s help.  After me worrying about squishing him while I was fighting to get the mattress turned over after rotating it around(queen size pillow top mattresses are HEAVY) I threw him out of the bedroom while I pushed the mattress over.  Widget howled as though he’d been thrown out into some icy snow storm and I let him back in promptly after moving the mattress back into its normal state.  Widget came running in expecting his mountain to still be avaliable for scaling but being the mean mommy that I am ruined everything and the bed was just a bed again.  Putting the mattress pad back on after washing it was another ordeal all in itself albeit I was much more successful with it than I was the last time.  Perhaps Widget is good luck even if he is not good "help".

I think I’ve caught up a little bit on my sleep, perhaps catching a few too many zzz’s.  I finally crawled out of bed at noon today mostly due to Widget protesting me still being in bed.  Once I was up and mobile Widget crashed out in the basket of knitty goodness.  Figures.  Now he’s in the kitchen stuffing himself so I’m sure it’ll be naptime again very soon.  So lazy!

It’s about time to go get dressed and head to the store so I am off to do that.  Later taters!
