The Manley Memoirs: My Cup Runneth Over

I had the last 5 days with my Catch, Chris, and mom. It was a great fall break. On Thursday, I went to Edmond to work some of my girls out. I was pleasantly surprised with the talent I have this year. If they work hard, we could be really successful this season.

On Friday, I took Catch to practice with me. My mom watched him, but it is a bit of a distraction. :0) We also met daddy for lunch at Mazzio’s. Every time I took a bite of my pizza, Catch would follow the food to my mouth. He was sitting on my lap and it was hilarious. Even funnier, he kept wanting to hold my drink. I finally poured out my drink so he could play with the cup. Ever since he realized he could hold a bottle, he is all about some cups! He will watch us every time we take a drink. We went to dinner with Grandma Lisa and Papaw Ted and we showed them his new obsession with cups. It was so cute!

On Saturday, Chris went to Fort Smith to play golf with Sissy and watch the OU/TX game. My mom and I spent the day entertaining Catch and rearranging our living room. It looks so good now! When we went to Grandma Lisa’s Friday night, she had the most beautiful fall wreath. My mom found one to decorate and put in our home. She also made a couple of fall flower arrangements. It definitely feels like the holiday season here and I love it!

Sunday was another productive day. My mom and I did some serious grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. I took Catch in the Baby Bjorn and he got some good nap time on me. The rest of the day was spent playing with Catch and reading my book for school. I am participating in a Professional Learning Committee and we read a book every month and discuss it. I have been completely immersed in it – Readicide. It makes me want to be a better teacher and really instill the joy of reading into my students.
