I Can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! It seems like just yesterday we were taking the kids trick-or-treat...but we went out and got the turkey, as well as many other things we make for this special day and we're ready. I'm excited because I really enjoy this time of the year! It brings a family together and reminds us that we should be thankful for everything we have!
Christmas shopping has begun. Audree has been all about Strawberry Shortcake lately so I'm thinking about getting her a doll and some other things as well. Jacob on the other hand has been on an Elmo kick and both of the kids are getting big into books! as far as my brothers and sisters I'm not sure what to get them yet. Teens and pre-teens seem so complicated and picky! Any ideas?
I found out..... 10.5% of people in my county are out of work. I'm sure if I looked up the whole state of Michigan the percentage would be even higher. The economy seems to be falling apart and as an unemployed single mother I feel the pains of looking for work where there isn't much!
Audree and Jacob are having a class play next week and it sounds really fun but they are in different classes do to age difference and each class is hosting the play in their room. Now I need to figure out how to be in two places at once! AHH!
I have volunteered to be a part of the Early head-start policy council and will be going to monthly meetings to help the community and voice concerns as parents and more. I'm proud of myself since I've never done anything like this before.
Audree is excited about Thanksgiving because she get's to help grandpa make pie. I love watching her stirring up ingredients and asking what she should do next. Soon Jacob will be old enough to help out too! As I look back, it reminds me of helping my grandparents when I was young!
We have a party to go to tomorrow and I'm glad to have been invited. I love going out to see my friends and having fun together, she even invited the little ones which I thought was sweet! All in all it's been a good week and I think it will be a good weekend to.
