A week in the Life... Photos

I signed up for a swap to have three pictures a day to send to a partner.

October 25th
I cam home and checked my email at about 7PM to discover that I had almost forgotten about this swap. So I grabbed my camera to try to capture some elements of my Day. I had just returned from the salon next to the store I work in. The are usually not open on Monday but were having a “girls night out fund raiser for the Breast Cancer Foundation. For $15 I got a pink extension 
and I paid another $5 for 6 raffle tickets had some wine and cheese chatted to “the girl next door” and headed home. At home I needed to get my Daughter to work on her homework  
and once I sat down my cat
 leaped on to my lap being very happy to sit on me without having to share me with the lap top.

October 26th: Monday night was raining and windy all night. You can see that the tree that has just changed color lost a chunk of leaves during the night. My husband went out during the night and pushed our yard signs deeper into the ground.
 
 My usual thermos of tea 
 was very welcome during the day. My first day at work this week. After last week having Monday off was a welcome break. The store I work out is closing at the end of November so we are bringing everything out on to the floor. And we had this huge green bin of mini stuffed animals.
I got to make up the way to display them. I thought this was cuter and easier and more space saving that putting them on hooks.

October 27th: With Halloween coming up and the weather seeming calmer my husband changed the light-bulbs 
 in the fixtures on the garage. But the wind picked up while I was at work I kept thinking that something was going to come off the roof. Apparently it did across the street. I didn’t see that but on the way home I noticed this traffic light 
 that had been bent by the wind. With the business of the week it was easy dinner night so I picked up pizza and salad from the take and bake place and if you look carefully you can see a bunch of pink peeking out of the basket.
 
I was gifted/won the BIG basket of goodies and they brought it to me on Wednesday morning.

October 28th: Day off from work and the kids were off. School being off My daughter who is a swimmer had practice at 10 am so we made a big breakfast for the kids neither have ever really liked breakfast but cheese omelets whisked with the new Halloween whisk was exiting.
 Some quick laundry 
 to get done while my daughter was swimming and before we ran errands, one being dropping the swimmer at a friends for a night away at an indoor water park. Then to get some Halloween supplies for my little Harry potter. We saw this fun hearse
 
 out side the store.

October 29th: Busy Day! Had to pack the car up 
 I had to go to work. After work I met my daughter at her friend house and we drove 2 hours to the hotel near her swim meet. The beds looked so comfy 
 but after the long day and getting fast food in my hair it was time for a shower with the strange hotel soap. 

October 30th: Up and taking picture at 5:26 
 needed to be at the pool by 6:45 ugh. Got to see the sunrise that was pretty 
  My daughter took third in one of her races! 
So proud of her! It was 4th over all!

October 31st Halloween: More swimming My daughter got lots of attention from her head coach in her last event! 
It was great to see! Then home to see the jack-o-lanterns 
 and the house all decorated for the night.
