Seven Quick Takes Friday - IV

1. It's a bit after seven here. Calla is asleep, and has been for an hour and a half. Will she stay asleep all night? Will she wake and be up until midnight? Stay tuned and find out!

2. The boy is off with the hubby's folks on a car tour, and apparently, everything has finally *clicked* re. potty training - he's doing a FANTASTIC job there, and we'll be putting him in his Thomas underwear when he gets home. YAY!!! Now for Calla....

3. On Wednesday, I went to a meeting of room moms for the elementary school that Patrick attends. I found out I'm responsible for arranging 4 parties (Fall/harvest, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and End of the Year) of about 45 mins each - each with a snack, a game, and a craft - as well as sending out notice for Teacher Appreciation week (with suggestions for the kiddos on what to consider bringing, etc.). Hooboy. Wish me luck - at least I have a small class to supply; fewer than 10 kiddos. I do have to find out from their teacher what specific limitations the kiddos have, though, as it's the PPCD/special ed pre-K -- I don't want to go in with something prepared that half the kiddos wouldn't have the manual dexterity to do, for instance.

4. I think it's time to do *something* with the 10 or 12 single socks that have been unmatched for over a year. I just have that "As soon as I pitch them, I'll find the other" fear, so they're back in a small drawer. Heck, I don't even imagine that I'd ever wear some of them again if I DID find the match, they're so hopelessly out-of-date, LOL.

5. Less than one week until the official start of fall!! :) I had a caramel apple cider from Starbucks the other day, and have a box of gingerbread spice K-Cups for my Keurig. Bring on the season!

6. The hubby turns 35 this year (near the end of the month). I should do SOMETHING for his birthday (other than a card). Hmm....

7. I've found it amusing that I can load/install my old Windows 95 stuff on my Vista machine. The XP wouldn't load them; anything I really wanted (my Moraff CD-ROM games), I had to force by just copying the files over and hoping it would work (it did). It's been fun to drag out some of the older software and play it again - Dilbert, Monty Python, Connections (LOVE James Burke), etc. Yay for some backwards compatibility!
