Thanksgiving

I think I just realized how fast the next 2 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days will pass. Next week is Thanksgiving and I am already making mental plans for the spring. Don't get me wrong, I will definitely savor (I don't mean food for once in my life, food is my enemy right now) every bit of the holiday season as it is, of course, my favorite time of the year as well as our last bit of "freedom" before we start living the life of the "schedule". I see myself as a semi-laid back person. (Meaning, I have to be the suggested 30 minutes early for a movie but I will wear the same pair of pants to work in the same week on a Monday/Thursday senario.) So I don't think that we will stop doing what we do now, though I am not stupid and I know that our life will change. At this point, I think we have plenty of (free) babysitters so I think we will get out some if I can LEAVE MY BABY! It makes me think back to my babysitting days when we didn't charge per child and when we were asked what our rate was it was simply "whatever you pay me". Boy things have changed. I hear the going rate at the Reservoir is $10 an hour for two kids. Yikes. I better go get my winning lotto ticket soon.
