On My Mind Tonight...

Missing Mike. It's been harder than I expected to have him working on this project in Canada. I mean it's only four months right? And he worked the last job for 3 1/2 years! But that was only an hour and a half away. So much easier for him to come home if needed. And more often. Not just weekends. It gives me the most amazing respect for single parents who do it 24/7.

Hockey Hall of Fame photo taken from our trip we took to see him in August :) Anyway, as a result, I am just not sleeping good at night. A little better this month since it is my "healthy living" goal. But still having some nights where I just can't get to sleep. And tonight Evan is having trouble sleeping. Why you may ask? Well apparently the librarian read a really spooky book at school today. You know the old myths and legends about the murderer with the hook that when the couple drive off they find the hook on the door when they get home. And one about a spider laying eggs in someone's cheek, and a spooky guy who crashed his carriage and then his ghost tries to give people rides. Only he starts haunting elevators that crash. I know it was keeping Evan up tonight. Not quite sure it was the best choice of book to read to the students. 
 
A friend of mine from grade school took this photo tonight at the World Series. Cardinals are winning right now! Hope they can hold on :) 

And for fun right now my favorite alphabet stickers for scrapbooking are...

this type from Sassafras Lass. Especially in the gray. I just stocked up on a bunch of different colors, but really love the gray!
And these by October Afternoon. Their Mini Market alphas. They are both right up there for me with American Crafts Thickers alphabets right now :)

What's on your mind right now?

    I also love those tiny letters. Sorry you are missing Mike so much. I know what you mean about respect for single parents. I use to do it when my husband worked offshore and I remember thinking that the spouses of soldiers must have a special place in heaven to raise their kids a year+ at a time on their own. Puts your own situation in perspective.

    I love the October Afteroon mini market letters! Hope the time at your DH's job goes quickly.
    I have to say I was a little saddened by the outcome of last nights game. How amazing for your friend to be there!

    I get really annoyed when schools introduce my kids to questionable material. Sorry your having sleep disturbances. Right now, I'm trying to plan my life, which is more complicated than it ought to be.

    Sorry to hear about your sleep issues. I don't sleep as well when my husband is gone either. He wonders why I sleep so soundly on Fridays, but it's because he was gone all week and I can finally get into a deep sleep!
