More this and that.

I was wrong about the rain. It hasn't gotten full hold yet. We're enjoying a sunny day today and are likely to get one or two more before the rain returns. This is good - I like some sun in the fall. We also got a non-rainy Halloween night, which was nice.

I sometimes have the sensation that time is rushing by. Another year is nearly over. Ari is seven months old. Seven months since her amazing and then horrific birth! Marcus is in kindergarten. I'm living in a new city that I never could have predicted I'd end up in (and Chris is working in corporate cubeland). Some of the meetups that interest me repeat on the same day each week, and I am amazed at how quickly a week seems to go by. It's surreal. It's not that I'm super happy, because I'm definitely not on some days - but I'm busy with Ari and Marcus and the whole routine (inconsistent as it may be).

With that said...I think Mom had it easy when it came to the morning routine. I remember days when she was still in her pink bathrobe when we went to school. And I imagine the little ones weren't all dressed in the morning either. Life is different here. Everyone has to be ready to walk or drive the half mile to school every day. It's a little crazy.

Wouldn't it be nice if the bus came to your house like it did when we were little kids? :)
