Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of your week that are usually brief; too short for a stand-alone post, but too good to discard. Collect humorous observations, "Heard" items, and other small gems and put them together in a Friday Fragments post.
Friday Fragments are the brainchild of Mrs.4444 and you can find more at Half Past Kissin' Time.

On Tuesday, I dropped Sam off at school and realized that I actually like dropping him off and going into his school. I guess the main thing I actually DON'T like about it is putting Danny back into the car, because he usually is fussy that he just got out and now I'm making him get back in. I like being there, seeing him off, just having a presence in the school even if it's just for a minute or two.

Okay, who else is watching The Walking Dead? The fall finale was this week, and it was FAN. TASTIC. Really, I think that the fact that it's a show about a zombie apocalypse that makes me bawl like a baby is a great testament to it's awesomeness. I can't wait for it to come back.

So, my Mom told me yesterday that when my sister went off to college, they went to this parents orientation meeting the day we were all dropping her off. Apparently, there are two things that happen very frequently to college freshman that upset them. The first was called the "Turkey Drop" by the person leading the class - this is when the kid returns home for Thanksgiving break and is dumped or breaks up with their significant other. The second is that their dog dies. It makes sense if you think about it - people often get a dog for the family when a kid is around 4 or 5, and 13 or 14 years later that is one old dog. It makes total sense, but it's a weird fact to think about!

I re-joined Weight Watchers yesterday. My Mom is paying for my membership for a while as my birthday present, which is very cool. I am looking forward to starting again, I am trying to let go of a lot of feelings I have about the 30 lbs I have re-gained in the last year. I'm looking forward to walks and kind of want to find a place where I can swim at least a couple of times a month.

Justin was gone from Mon - Thu night this week at a training in Seattle. The nights were... restless. Bedtimes kind of sucked, and there were a lot of wake-ups in the nights. Wednesday night, Danny was just UP from 2:15 to 5:40. I am very tired, and hopefully will get to sleep in a bit tomorrow.

I am only 3 books away from completing my goal of reading 50 books this year, and very excited! It looks like I'll finally make it again after a couple of years of not making it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
