Sorry September but I’m fallen for October

Sept 30th 2014 (9:50pm)

Me: I said to my husband “Gawd, I can’t wait for this month to be over”.

He replies with “we’ll you only have a few hours to go”.

Me: Smart ass.

Him: Well, it’s true.

Me: Frig, it’s still September, right!

Him: Yeah, for a few more hours.

Me: I’m ready for October to be done, already!

It’s such a busy time of year with work and I am on the road more than I am in the office which can make for long days of driving. Oh, and I’ve got a little run coming up soon……make that two runs coming up.
