For Today… December 28,2009
Outside my window… gray skies. At least it looks like the mud is finally drying up.
I am thinking… I have way too much stuff! Time to sort and scale down the clutter.
From the learning rooms… taking one more week off. Planning to enjoy that.
I’m thankful for… Hombre getting two weeks vacation over Christmas break. I’m going to be an emotional wreck when he has to go back to work…it’s starting to feel “normal” to have him here all day every day.
From the kitchen… real cooking has been sadly neglected…I should probably get back to that soon!
I am wearing… pajamas…my shirt is a long sleeved t-shirt from the Mexico missions trip I went on 1997! I’m telling you, I have a major problem with letting go of old comfortable shirts.
I am reading… nothing right now…but the girls’ and I finished reading The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever on Christmas day. I love it! The last chapter totally made me cry…not that that is all that hard to do…
I am creating… nothing. Have some ideas in mind for Miss A’s birthday in February, but I figured it’s okay to take at least a week off after all the sewing I’ve been doing.
I am hearing… the Barbie Nutcracker movie. We borrowed it from the library and the girls are obsessed.
Around the house… cleaning/organizing/de-christmasing one room at a time. The living room and kitchen are done (I figured those were the two most critical). Today I move on to the bedrooms.
A few plans for the rest of the week… the “big event” is tonight…we’re going to ride The Polar Express with my family. The girls are so excited. I can’t seem to get through to them that we’re not really going to the real North Pole. Oh well. My sister and her family will be leaving tomorrow night :( On Thursday is Hombre’s 29th birthday! Trying to come up with some thrilling plan to celebrate his last year before the big 3-0…

For Today… December 29,2009
Outside my window… overcast- the weather man says we are going to get more snow. The kids are getting “just one more” bike ride in before the snow starts.
I am thinking… about my new years resolutions/goals.
From the learning rooms… N/A; the kids are still on holiday. It’s nice!
I’m thankful for… the big kids. It’s great having them home and having relatively good weather for them to play in this week.
From the kitchen… uhhhh….it’s getting cleaned today! And I’m “baking” cookies using premixed/precut dough.
I am wearing… Jeans, no shoes, and a purple shirt.
I am reading… nothing. just blogs and churchy stuff.
I am creating… nothing. Enjoying the kids
I am hearing… Caitlyn singing “julio” (Taylor Swift’s Romeo and Juliet song…Love Story I think??).
Around the house… Cleaning. Lots of cleaning.
A few plans for the rest of the week… Getting together with friends for New Years. Gearing up for another long weekend.
