10- 27-09

Outside my window... rain mixed with snow. The first snow of the winter is predicted for today. I have to admit I am a bit excited. I do love the first beautiful white blanket of snow. It’s all the others that come after that make me sad.
I am thinking...that I wish Marcus was not screaming in his crib because I really wanted him to sleep in today.
I am thankful for... a husband who is willing to get the kids up, make their lunches, and get them to piano on time on Tuesday mornings.
From the kitchen... sugar cookies on the counter from last nights Family Home Evening. Oh, I forgot, and pork chops in the crockpot for dinner.
I am wearing... my navy blue fuzzy robe.
I am creating.... tomorrow I am going to work on some charms for Christmas gifts. I am excited to try a bunch of different things, it should be really fun and very cathardic.
I am going... to the gym in about 40 min.
I am reading... Graceling by Kristin Cashore. Sor far I like it.
I am hoping... I can make myself work hard at the gym so that the sugar cookies I ate last night will not go straight to my booty.
I am hearing...Silence for a minute, maybe Marcus went back to sleep.
Around the house... not a ton of mess. I did get the kitchen cleaned yesterday and that always feels amazing.
One of my favorite things... sugar cookies with buttercream frosting.
A few plans for the rest of the week... Pack Meeting tomorrow night, The Halloween Parade at school on Thursday, a Halloween Party on Friday and Halloween festivities on Saturday.
A picture to share... because this always makes me laugh. This was Brians’ costume last year. So Funny!

Outside my window... a deer and its fawn eating until my kids scared them off and now it is them (Colton and Marcus, Sadie is in her room) outside my window.

I am thinking...about the fact that my daughter just told me she hated me for putting her in her room and how sad that is because she is only 4 and I will have to hear that a lot more before she is grown.

I am thankful for... antibiotics, that mean this strep throat will go away eventually

From the kitchen... rolls in the oven

I am wearing... my wizard of oz t-shirt and yoga pants, no shoes

I am creating.... hopefully a habit, I would love to do this every Monday for a very long time

I am going... to the grocery store when Colton leaves for school, I need milk really bad.

I am reading... Just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter and about to start Dearly Devoted Dexter

I am hoping... My throat will stop being sore

I am hearing... My daughter screaming out her window at her brothers.

Around the house... mess and chaos because I have been in bed for two days with strep

One of my favorite things... my sweet babies laugh

A few plans for the rest of the week... dentist appointments for Sadie and Colton so their teeth do not rot out of their heads and hopefully a date with my husband since the weekend was a bust.

A picture to share... because I have no idea where these two very weird and not so great pictures came from and I think they are a little bit funny
