Life for the past couple of days have been our usual: school work, Tae Kwon Do, house cleaning, cooking, etc. We did get to have lunch with John yesterday so I weaseled my way to the Home School Bookstore for a reading workbook I needed for Chloe. I could have stayed there all day.
I was hoping today would go smoothly and the work we really needed to get done would be finished early. It did't happen that way. So, neither Halloween cookies got made nor the candy covered pretzels. I still have high hopes for the candy for tonight so I can send something to John's work tomorrow. The girls are very excited about Halloween and looking forward to our tradition of trick-or-treating at Village at Sandhill.
I will throw in this tidbit for those who don't know. I am up for my black belt in the beginning of December. I've been fretting over this for about five months now. I knew it was coming and to be honest I've been VERY stressed over it. Master Mike has been getting his kicks by torturing me in class (yes, I knew he would...he's been waiting for this for over three years). But what we just found out is that I will not be getting my 1st Degree Black Belt alone. Jesse is going to receive her 2nd Degree Black Belt the same night. Honestly, I'm thrilled (and still terrified). I think it is going to be quite a night with the two of us getting black belts together (Chloe will be receiving her high red (next she'll be testing for her 1st Degree). The sad part, for me, is John may not be there. He is starting class at Ft. Jackson in early November and will not be finished until mid-December. We are hoping he'll be able to attend but we won't know until that night. It sucks! Jesse has worked incredibly hard and so have I and we may not be able to share it with him. I think that is where a lot of my stress is coming from. Keep your fingers crossed for us: 1) John will be there and 2) I won't completely embarrass myself. :)
