Reading:

Watching:
Endless episodes of Charmed, currently on season 3.
Listening:
Enya. Can't get enough of her lately. She just seems to feel right no matter what.
Hit:
Blood Moon Botanica's Digestive tea. It was a part of an order I received and it cleared up some nausea I was suffering from recently. Britton is super talented.
Miss:
Barbara Kingsolver's Flight Behavior. I tried getting into it but the main character just fell flat for me. I think I am going to end up passing it on. It is a shame because normally I thoroughly enjoy her books.
Awaiting:
A few plans in September. I am taking the girls to the Harry P. Leu gardens in Orlando for a fairy door event and my sister and I are going to try and take Savanna to MegaCon in Tampa. I think those will be fun. I am also looking forward to some rainy days, hopefully sans hurricane this year.
Dreading:
Trying not to dread too much at the moment but I am seriously not looking forward to nighttime these days... the mosquitoes are horrendous. I went outside a couple days ago to peek at the full moon and got chased back inside in 10 seconds flat.
Low:
August was a tough month. Battled some blues but slowly getting back my equilibrium. Starting back to school and changed routines and new responsibilities were hard to juggle but I am becoming acclimated again.
High:
The girls being extra helpful around the house, cleaning and cooking dinner once in a while voluntarily. Hearing Savanna practice guitar. Watching Scarlette climb to the top of the rope in gymnastics (seriously, that rope goes about 20 or 25 feet in the air!). Picking from my small patch of wildflowers and bringing them inside to put in tiny vases.
How has your August been? What are you looking forward to in September?
