For Today… December 14,2009
Outside my window… a sky full of bright, twinkling stars. Just adds to the Christmas-y feel.
I am thinking… that I waste way too much time thinking about things that shouldn’t matter.
From the learning rooms… the girls and I are doing a big unit study on The Nutcracker this week. Very festive and so much fun.
I’m thankful for… good friends.
From the kitchen… starting to think about Christmas baking. What’s your favorite Christmas treat? I need some new ideas.
I am wearing… I think I may eliminate this fill in the blank. It’s always the same.
I am reading… started reading The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever with the two big girls today. Sure to be entertaining.
I am creating… I can’t even talk about it. I’ve taken on way more projects than I should have and it is NOT GOOD.
I am hearing… Hombre’s clicking computer keys as we sit side by side in bed on our laptops. 
Around the house… just trying to keep it from complete destruction while focusing all my efforts on finishing the Christmas projects.
A few plans for the rest of the week… I don’t want to talk about this either. Busy every day excpet for tomorrow. That means everything on my to-do list needs to happen tomorrow. Yeah right!

Or leave me a note in the comments… I’d love to hear about your day

I love reading these, but never take the time to write one myself…so here goes…
For Today… December 16,2009
Outside my window… an cold, overcast day.
I am thinking… that I should probably get up and change the laundry over, but that would mean I would have to fold it, so I will stay right here
From the learning rooms… I am actually researching a homeschooling curriculum for the big brother. At school they are busily preparing their Christmas gifts and getting ready to enjoy fun days tomorrow and a half-day on Friday.
I’m thankful for… blogs and facebook. They make the miles disappear during the holidays.
From the kitchen… making lists for our annual Christmas cookie bake-a-thon. “What’s your favorite Christmas treat?” We’re simpletons..gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, and caramel are our yearly staples.
I am wearing… a plum colored longsleave shirt and blue jean capris.
I am reading…nothing. Just blogs and scriptures.
I am creating… nothing.
I am hearing… The heater kick on again.
Around the house… lots to do. Lacking motivation to do it. The kids get home at 3:30 and by 3:45, it is all undone. I should probably change my attitude
A few plans for the rest of the week… just the basics, find some lights to look at, get ready for the big kids to be home, watch Christmas movies, and enjoy another holiday with my little family.
Ok…no more excuses. Now I have to get some things done around this house!!

You and hombre side by side in bed with your laptops - you are a modern couple.
