Mass, Storms, Cub Scouts and EWTN

Today we were on time but barely. I have to get some more sleep somehow, but editing and school work have to be done somehow too. I will work on that.
Today was the school Mass. As I have said before this is my favorite part of the week. This week it was a little different. The tornado sirens started to go off which meant the children all had to get back to the school and to their safe places. I was fortunate enough to be able to be there and help the teachers rush the little ones back. It was an experience. When I checked my phone Brandon texted me that there was a tornado at Grant's Mill Road. Not good for business while in Irondale. I was glad to know that my boys were in their safe places. I am also very thankful that they were all ok as the tornado went the opposite way. Still very close. Jesus was definitely present.
While the boys were at school I finished the carpets upstairs. Now just the stairs. Those may wait till this weekend though.
Tonight was the pack meeting for the cub scouts and we had it at EWTN where they all got the tour led by non other than their amazing cubmaster (yep, that would be Brandon). While we were there I saw several familiar faces and was glad to say hello and talk to them. The boys were all excellent.
Well, I am off to bed a little earlier, there is still half an hour before midnight ;) Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers! Please say a little prayer for me as I get ready for Thanksgiving and the kick off to Christmas party :) So excited!

Home and School

So this morning we were running late. I do not like starting off the day running behind. I am not sure if it was the rain that had me all cozy this morning or the fact that John Michael came in our room last night and is such a cuddle bug. We were all late though, which is just not something I need on my agenda right now. I know that there must have been a reason for it though, so I am not going to stress myself out about it.
While the boys were in school I took care of their bedrooms. I was so tired of asking and threatening, and so today I threw a lot of junk out. We have to get up the Christmas stuff and that is just not possible the way that their rooms looks. I also got some more laundry done, but I also got more piled up as I found more clothes scattered around their rooms and I did not know if they were clean or dirty so I am taking the safer bet. I also got a good bit of editing done. Right now I am a little ahead of the 2 weeks I shoot for with a regular session, but I have to get them all delivered which is a little easier said than done. I am hoping to mail a good bit of them because I have so many to get out and with the sessions that I have I am not sure where I can squeeze in delivery times too. It will all work out.
The boys' had great days at school today. They both had homework that we had to get done pretty fast so that we could get back to school for the Home & School meeting tonight.
The Home & School meeting was very nice. It was a brief introduction and then break away sessions. Brandon went to the K-2 session and I stayed for the 3-5 session. I enjoy being a part of the school and like knowing what is happening with the boys. Another plus to St. Francis is how close the parents, faculty, and students really are.
We came home and I had school work, and editing to work on and Brandon worked on burning and labeling discs for me. He is awesome!
Well, the boys are in bed and since it is not 10 minutes until midnight I guess I will go to bed. One day soon I will be in bed early! I will, I will, I will!

Drizzle

So today was supposed to be a dry day which would have worked well with my schedule but the on and off drizzle made my life a little more difficult. Having 2 outdoor photo sessions in the rain is definitely not something I enjoy. I was able to get through them without rescheduling though which was definitely a plus since I am booked. The next two days are not looking as friendly though.
The boys had a great day a school. I forgot to give John Michael his nap mat this morning, it was clean and in the van. Go mom! He was not too upset though, because he got to rest on the blue beanbag so it worked out which is a good thing.
Well, I have to get to bed, but it is not looking promising for happening before midnight.
